@666, did you ever work this out? I ran into the exact same problem. I’m not really understanding why the FPT flashed it in the first place, but it did, but not correctly. I may have figured it out after beating my head up against a wall. Here is the result of the FPT “good” flash after a 2nd attempt (which should have stopped me dead in my tracks):

G3 power cycle to complete the flashing process.FPT Operation Successful.
The FPT modified flashing the first 3 blocks. For the 1st block, it erased [0x027000] and wrote [0x0027000]. That has to be it.
You’ll have to attempt to correct this by using a CH341A flasher with a 300mil SOP16 to dip8 Flash CHIP IC Test Clips BIOS Programmer Socket Adapter SOP SOIC SOIC16 Converter for 25 SPI Flash 25series. Like this one.
@MeatWar, can this be corrected with a HEX editor? I just recognized this, and my flash attempts have been obviously coming up short.
