BBB - won't boot with wrong UUID for rootfs with Debian

My BBB won’t boot now when it tries to mount the root device. I must have copied some file from another BBB and messed up something.

My guess is the /etc/fstab and /boot/uboot/uEnv.txt files. Are there others?

I have tried using the BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.2-2013-11-15.img, but I still get the same problem after removing the sdcard and repowering up the BBB.

What is the best way to recover from this?
Just remove all files on the eMMC partitions?
Other?

Should also mention, just those two files..

You can use this image as a recovery..

http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#BeagleBone

Just remember to hold down the boot button..

Then using
lsblk
ls -lh /dev/disk/by-uuid/

fix both

uEnv.txt (on /dev/mmcblk1p1 ) & /etc/fstab (on /dev/mmcblk1p2)

Update:
Mr Nelson confirmed my thoughts and provided a means to fix:

Also, using a newer image for the flasher image fixed it also.
