For best results flash the output NOR file with a tool which rewrites *ONLY the EID0 sector*
  (one sector / 512 bytes @ sector #376 / 0x178; NOR file offset 0x2f000-0x2f1ff).
I think Qa flag information is stored in some section of NOR where mM does not write it to.

Code:
A QA flag is a value set in SC EEPROM at address 0x48C0A. When this flag is set, the token is read from SYSCON and decrypted, this gets passed to various modules to unlock certain functionality.
Code:

EEPROM ≠ NOR.

Correct me if I am wrong.
So when I flashed my original backup, with my e3 flasher, not mM. It did not flash this part of the nor?
