It has been fixed after flashing your file bpi-r4_spim-nand_ubi_8GB_bl2.img
The only issue now is that there are many notices on booting that:
NOTICE: UBI: Bad EC magic in block 1008 ffffffff
but it is booting to nand and the 8gb is now recognized.

I have only flashed the bpi-r4_spim-nand_ubi_8GB_bl2.img because I don’t know what you mean if fip is empty or not, how can I see that? I am a novice on those things…
should I proceed flashing the fip as well with the fip file?
