RockPi 4b flash Armbian

Hi, I am trying to flash https://redirect.armbian.com/region/AS/rockpi-4b/Focal_current to the onboard flash. I had previously flashed the official Debian image to this device just fine, but the procedure doesn’t work the second time.

The loader applies correctly:
sudo rkdeveloptool db rk3399_loader_spinor_v1.15.114.bin

But then the image will stay at 0% and eventually I see an error:
sudo rkdeveloptool wl 0 Armbian_21.08.1_Rockpi-4b_focal_current_5.10.60.img
Write LBA from file (1%)
Write LBA failed!

Any advise on why this isn’t working?

Actually, I discovered that using a newer loader solves the problem:
