I just skimmed your post (sorry after you put so much detail and time into it)
Basically, whenever i see someone having problems with PM3 set up, my standard answer is.
“dont fuck around chasing your tail,
Just start a clean build from scratch”
Amals guide (linked Shortly) is super thorough with heaps of info and explanations is awesome if you want to learn along the way…
I took his guide and made the bare essentiails, set up guide for people who dont care and just want it to work.
So, my suggestion to you is:-
Delete all folders relating to Proxmark/proxspace on your computer, and start afresh.
in this link, you will see a further link to Amals guide at the top, and mine in the “drop down” below it.
Whichever one you choose, MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE STEPS TO THE LETTER
IF you get an error STOP, and report back so we know exactly where you got stuck, this will help us to fault find more quickly, BUT if you follow the guides exactly, you should have no issues.
Without further ado

good luck…or wait for somebody to talk you through the setup…in that case, also good luck
