It is possible that the previous update attempt failed because the partition and kernel did not match, but left the partition in an unstable condition. This latest failed update may have changed the kernel and/or main partition, so you should flash a new 5.0.0 kernel, and use "dd" to copy a new 5.0.0 main partition to /dev/mmcblk0p1. Then perhaps run a "factory_reset" script to erase any residual /var/local settings that might interfere with an update.

In my case, I was able to successfully update to 5.0.4 after flashing a fresh 5.0.0 kernel and using "dd" to copy the "forensic" 5.0.0 main partition image, so you should be able to do that too...
can the factory_reset be done by dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0p3 bs=4K count=8184 ?
