So SD is booting. That's a step forward.

I am still very confused on why FEL mode is not working for you. If SD
booting is working then there is an image forcing FEL mode in
sunxi-tools. This way you can force FEL mode even if the button/jumper
is not working for some reason.

Debugging the board from FEL mode is a whole lot easier than swapping SD
cards all the time. For example there is a script in sunxi-tools for
playing with any GPIO pin from FEL mode.
