The radxa bootloader is not compatible with this image. You need to use the miniloader.img image provided with every release. Flash that to the SPI flash and make sure there is nothing else in the eMMC. I don't have a board with SPI flash so I can't tell you the exact procedure but from your issue description you seem to know how. Alternatively, and this what I do on my 4B+, you can flash the miniloader onto eMMC. But still make sure that there is no other bootloader in SPI flash. There can only be one and it has to be the one provided with this image.
