Right, that is expected, all the "fel spl" command does is load the
spl, you need to do something like this to fel boot:

sudo ~hans/bin/fel version
echo Write SPL
sudo ~hans/bin/fel spl u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin
echo Exec SPL
sudo ~hans/bin/fel exe 0x2000
sleep 0.5
echo Write u-boot
sudo ~hans/bin/fel write 0x4a000000 u-boot-dtb.bin
echo Exec u-boot
sudo ~hans/bin/fel exe 0x4a000000

Are you doing that ? Also note that you now need to use
u-boot-dtb.bin not u-boot.bin .

See above.

If that is not it it would be greay if you can find some time to
investigate this.
