All setting must be manually transferred from the old configuration.h to the new. (and you cant just copy the file, the format has changed)
If you don't have the original configuration.h most can be retrieved with a M503 command (print settings)
but not all.. and the remaining one are important (type of thermistor, direction of movement, and endstop setting)
If you dont know your thermistor type... your out of luck. Working it out requires setting it known temperatures and taking reading over entire tempature range, (PITA)
The rest can be worked out easily
no way to know if it has a boot loader or not, till you try and put new firmware on it... If it errors with stk500 error, its probably no bootloader.
5v usb power only is best when uploading firmware, mainly as any heaters could be set to on while uploading the firmware, without 12v, it doesn't matter if they are on or not.

only the tiny bit in the middle from
11:16:36.295 : echo: M92 X78.74 Y78.74 Z2560.00 E105.00
to
11:16:37.642 : FIRMWARE_NAME:Marlin V1; Sprinter/grbl mashup for gen6 FIRMWARE_URL:[firmware.ultimaker.com] PROTOCOL_VERSION:1.0
Are stetting, from a m503 command.
No thermistor settings, no direction of movement, or anything about endstops
The bit "for gen6" worries me
Are you sure you have a 2560 chip? and not a 1284p ?? as gen6 would imply the latter.
Read the number from the top of the large black chip. It will say one of those two numbers.
Marlin comes with examples for particular controllers, but not for particular machines. So will compile and upload, but wont work correctly till is updated with machine specifics
