Cannot flash to emmc

I have repeatedly tried flashing the BBB with ubuntu-saucy-13.10-armhf-3.8.13-bone28.img.
I write the .img file to a micro scan disk card, place the card in the slot and power the board on while holding the boot button down. The LED’s come on and I let go of the button.
The led’s flash on and off for HOURS and then NOTHING happens it still has angstrom loaded onto it.

What the heck and I doing wrong!? this is very frustrating

ANY help would be welcome this is annoying

I attempted to flash the board with a scan disc card using the 5v power adapter with a 1amp output. And IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. I tired with the image given and nothing still
The BBB is a piece of junk!

What else could I possibly do??

Well lets start with the basic's.. How many LED's are light (the 4
next to the ethernet connector..) and what are they doing?

Please verify, the procedure you followed..

1: Power/USB unplugged
2: Insert microSD card
3: Push & Hold Boot button
4: Insert Power
5: Watch LED's, when all 4 are lite.
6: Let go of Power Button..
7: Wait 5-6 Minutes, solid 4 LED's are lite when complete..

It turns out it was the image. I tried five different images. Wow, that was tougher than I thought. Thank you to all who helped. The image posted on this thread finally worked with the usb cable.

Thanks again
