Yeah, this is one way of doing it :-)

My opinion:
 - First try uploader loader_bl using serload.
   This is the safest way.

 - Then, try to erase you flash and we can upload linux
 to update your bootloader. If we'll do that, I'll give you detailed 
 information in this.

 - Alternatively we could try using bootldr for this. But I'd like to have
 a green signal from Walter before doing this.

 - Last way out: jtagging you device. This will work unless your hardware is 
 defective.
