UPDATE!

Got it working again! For people who somehow got into the same situation:

I compiled a custom u-boot.bin based on the official 5.6.0 sources that runs "bist fastboot" whenever it detects a bootmode of reset. (After that I was able to change the bootmode var to main and for some reason it miraculously worked ???)

This was an enjoyable journey as I learned some new things in the process.

For people with compile errors when building a u-boot image: unfortunately they're meant to be built with gcc-4.4 or lower. It was a hassle finding arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.4 but it is in the Ubuntu Precise old-releases repo and by disabling mandatory repo authentication - you can install it.

If anyone for some reason needs the exact binary for KT2: i've attached it to this post.
