I also tried with the nrfjprog tool and I get the following error:

nrfjprog --programs s110_nrf51822_7.0.0-3.alpha_softdevice.hex Parsing hex file(s). ERROR: s110_nrf51822_7.0.0-3.alpha_softdevice.hex is not a valid SoftDevice since the CLENR0 value it includes is not a valid value.

Reading more upon the issue, I realized that the release notes contain this:

SoftDevice The FWID is no longer stored in the UICR. The tools (nRFgo Studio, nrfjprog) will be updated to work with this. The SoftDevice hex file no longer contains the SoftDevice size in the UICR.CLENR0 register. This means that the SoftDevice is no longer protected by default. The tools (nRFgo Studio, nrfjprog) will be updated to write the SoftDevice size to the UICR.CLENR0 register by default, thereby restoring default protection.Having protection enabled may conflict with Device Firmware Update, therefore the tools will contain an option to not set the UICR.CLENR0.

Then I found this:

This SoftDevice release has internal changes that requires that the SoftDevice is programmed onto the chip in a specific way. To program this release onto the chip, use the batch file "s110_nrf51822_7.0.0-3.alpha_program.bat" included in the release. For this batch file to work, you will need the "nrfjprog" programmer, which is included as part of the nrf51 SDK.
