Read the "broken" image to the host, compare by erase block size or a reasonable multiple there-of, only send the blocks that need to be re-written, and then:

Keep the "broken" image so that it can be determined what "broke".
It may be possible to find things that would be "fixable" without a full image re-flash.
Maybe even things that could be prevented to begin with.
