A most pleasing albeit unexpected result. Well done kunix for the insight, and pgardella for following his advices so trustingly and precisely. Another trick worth trying before 'end-game'....
In summary kunix, is this understanding correct?: His unit couldn't flash fw_all.bin using the boot.bin in full firmware, but following successfully flashing boot.bin solely a copy of bootloader was properly retained, which in turn was found to flash fw_all.bin alone.
Thread marked as Solved. WOW indeed.

I think bootloader was correct all the time and the issue was caused by the difference in flash writing algorithms in boot.bin (ramloader) and bootloader. And somewhat degraded flash chip, of course.

But bootloader's algo did the job.
