Trying to recover Pogoplug E02 from serial (1 reply)

Hello all, I am hoping someone can help me . About a year ago I tried to flash the Popgoplug E02 to run Linux. i was able to SSH in via the backdoor method and thought things were going well. Unfortunately when i rebooted the pogoplug it was a fast blinking orange light and was not showing up under the router and I was unable to ssh back into it any more. So i figured i messed up the flashing and tossed it in the closet. Recently I figured id give it another go, so i ordered a usb to serial cable and hooked it up. after a day or so i was finally able to get serial access, and it appears that i am running all or some of a newer boot loader than the original. so Im wondering if I flashed all or some of a newer version ? I have spent the last few days on this forum and other web sites looking but a lot of the info seems like its from 2012/2013 and a lot of the links and downloads that people have posted that seem like they could help are no longer existing. I am ideally trying to run Linux preferably a Dabian type version but id settle for arch or centos . or maybe it would be easier to try to reset to the original firmware so i could ssh back into it and try again that way. This is what prints when i type in version

U-Boot 2017.07-tld-1 (Sep 05 2017 - 00:13:18 -0700)
Pogo E02

GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.28

I will try to attach the out put of the printenv command and the help command as well. I don't have any USB that goes with it although im fairly certain i did at the time when i tried to flash it. Thank you for your help.
