 ---> Per the above, your GPT is still messed up.

if you google search for it you will find successful boot logs with that
message

---> Per the above 2 lines, you still have U-Boot in place and it is found,
loaded, and used.

the starting u-boot string may be hardwired in idbloader.bin (which
probably has the same origin with u-boot) ; anyway ATF seems to run ok and
then spl/tpl does not seem to work... spl/tpl (second/third program loader)
