Can you connect a serial cable to the board? You need a TTL serial and
it connects like this:

http://workshop.raspberrypiaustralia.com/usb/ttl/connecting/2014/08/31/01
-connecting-to-raspberry-pi-via-usb/

then on you pc:

screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200

then plug the power in the board, and you should see the bootloader:

U-Boot 2015.07 (Aug 31 2015 - 15:50:21 +0200)

DRAM:  944 MiB
WARNING: Caches not enabled

ubuntu@raspi2:~$ uname -a
Linux raspi2 4.4.0-1029-raspi2 #36-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 19 14:38:48 UTC 2016 
armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
ubuntu@raspi2:~$ ls -la /boot/firmware/*.dtb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13430 Oct 26 15:18 /boot/firmware/bcm2709-rpi-2-b.dtb

this on -1029.36, while if i update to -1030.37 the new dtb is bigger
and it blows the space at the beginning of the memory:

ubuntu@raspi2:~$ ls -la /boot/firmware/*.dtb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15356 Oct 26 18:18 /boot/firmware/bcm2709-rpi-2-b.dtb

and i bet on console you will end up with something like this:

U-Boot 2015.07 (Aug 31 2015 - 15:50:21 +0200)

is that the case?
