Your device is in openmode after that, no problems there.
However this does not get rid of the "ugly-triangle-and-warning" screen in the startup.

The problem is that to remove the openmode-warning with disclaimer-cal you need to do that before booting into openmode, because it is stored in a memory location hat is no longer accessible in openmode

So, the correct procedure is;
  • 1. Flash the device clean in closed mode
  • 2. remove the ugly warning
  • 3. Flash the device back-to-back to openmode

CAL ERROR: nand_write: write (4096 bytes at around 0021f000): Input/output error

I also tried the same command as user and got the same error.

Did the open kernel even flash properly? the uname command suggests otherwise?
Yes, most likely the openmode flashing went quite OK.

The reason the kernel string in uname looks exactly like in the closed-mode kernel is because I made it so
If the kernel version string had changed, then you'd have to copy in new modules too. Now as it is the openmode kernel works as a drop-in and uses the same modules under /lib/modules/
