Which plug?

It's possible then, but I can't say with confidence the exact method, nor that it would be 100% bullet proof.

Justin, download the factory pink pogoplug mtd0 from Jeff.doozan.com and use his flash_erase and nandwrite to restore it.

I've done this several times w/o issue.

The original uboot/mtd0 is located here:http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/files/uboot/uboot.mtd0.pinkpogo.original.kwb
nandwrite here: http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/nandwrite
flash_erase here: wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/flash_erase

Now:
chmod a+x flash_erase nandwrite
./flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 4
./nandwrite /dev/mtd0 uboot.mtd0.pinkpogo.original.kwb

Did you have any success? I am interested in trying the same thing with the pink v2 pogoplug.

Plugmatt: As stated, I've done this at least a dozen times now without issue so I know it works. Try it!

Even trying to FORCE a screw up using flash_eraseall vs flash_erase and corrupting Uboot, the pogoplug will still boot to it's default environment.

Manxam, A bit of a newb with this stuff. Can you specify how you did it step by step or point me to a tutorial that explains this? I used this guide, http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-v2-pinkgray, to initially modify my pogoplug but want to set it back to the way it was. I can SSH into it. Thanks in advance. 

Everything is detailed in the post that you quoted. Download the three files, chmod them as instructed, then run the 3 command lines as posted. Reboot. Voila.
