If it's a Freerunner, just hold down that corner "AUX" button when you
power on, you should get into a backup "NOR" copy of U-Boot and can DFU
new stuff in from there.  If you still get errors, post your dfu-util
commandline.

For the original problem, actually my first suspect would be physical
connectivity to the fingers in the uSD connector.  A guy before found he
had to add some paper on top of the SIM to push down enough to make
reliable contact.

Recent kernels have a workaround in that starts the card at slower clock
until the first bulk transfer completed successfully when it is cranked
up to 16MHz, that seemed to make the previous problems with some cards
pretty much go away.
