To put OS6 on you still have to use the 4.2 USB Boot Recovery, but you have to rename the OS6 image so that the recovery script will accept it. Each time you do USB Boot Recovery the EEPROM may become corrupt if it is not already.

All I need to do now Is get it back to a working 4+ version. The various fixes have not worked in this area, so think I am going to have to seek out help to repair the VPD or EEPROM.
