So I ordered the same model on ebay, unsoldered and dump the nand, and after a lot of work, managed to have a clear view of the system, from bootloader to userland. Basically, the bootloader check the signature of the kernel image, uncrypt the kernel image with a bootloader stored key, which in turn, uncrypt the rootfs image and voila.

Feel free to drop me an email, xxxx@yyyy.zz
