I wish I had known that before trying the latest build. :(

Unfortunately, it'll take some time, because the SPL is unable to load
the next stage from SD and I have to enter the maskrom mode[1] to zero
the SPI. Would you happen to have instructions on how to build an image
that can be flashed in that mode using
rkdeveloptool wl 0 newspi.bin
? That'd make things easier. I don't have time to open my PBP right now
and probably won't have it for a couple of weeks.
