Yeah I finally managed to flash the pre-built u-boot that is in the update file. The official Windows tool (MfgTool) couldn't do it, but imx_usb on Linux (which is not an official tool) did the job.
It goes past the log I posted but it reports an mmc failure. Maybe newer versions have included a timeout to detect it, but I've not checked the source code to actually confirm it.
It's funny to see how it broke even though the device has been barely used at all.
Code:
esdhc_send_cmd: data2 ransfer fail status=0x100000
mmc read failed
Error! Couldn't read NV variables. (-1)
Sadly I don't have the required tools for bga chip soldering but it's a thing I've been needing for a while, also for other stuff, so I will try in future to get it and replace the memory chip (I know about the steep learning curve and I will make some other tests beforehand).
