Can you redownload the latest FX3 firmware and try again? I'm afraid what you think was v2.2.0 may actually be v2.0.0 due to a mistake in the firmware_latest.img URL. The serial number of all zeroes is, I'm hoping, because of the firmware mismatch.

It is the latest_fw, checked sha256 hash and it is the same.
Happy to hear more suggestions before doing the jump.

Just to make sure...you power cycled the bladeRF (remove all power and plug it back in again) after flashing the v2.2.0 FX3 firmware, correct?
Even though the sha256 matches, please delete all FX3 images you have stored locally and re-download the v2.2.0 image if you haven't done this already. I just want to make 100% certain nothing is messed up with the files on your end because (a) I noticed you have a lot of copies/renames of the FX3 image based on previous shell logs, and (b) it should be detected as a bladeRF2 after v2.2.0 flash and power cycle.
The bootloader recovery method using the jumper is not required and probably won't help at this point because you have the updated software that won't fail out upon detecting the FPGA size / board name mismatch. However, if you have any old wire laying around, a paper clip, tweezers, a metal fork -- anything conductive to short J6 pins 1 and 2 together, then it certainly can't hurt to try that method of flashing the firmware. You shouldn't need to buy anything special to do this.
One more thing -- if it's still not working, please take a picture of U20 (it's the SPI flash chip near J6, you can see it in the image I attached earlier). Make sure the picture is clear enough for us to see the vendor/model number engraved on the package. You can attach the image or use a hosting site like imgur.

Firmware looks like it installed correctly, but having trouble with the FPGA now.

I rebuilt bladerf-cli and everything works.
