OK, I think all the info you need is in the post, I have tried to break it down and make it A LITTLE more easy to understand
I have Broken it into 2 Parts ( I COULD STILL HAVE MISSED SOMETHING, THIS IS MY BEST GUESS )
Part one, your Lock Bits
Part two, Your Simply NFC locking
Part one, your Lock Bits
It looks like both times you used Erase to factory default
The xNT is an older implant, which allowed customers to have complete control over all the configuration. This problem kept occurring, so the newer NExT implant has this configuration done for you before delivery.
@my18666
Where did you purchase your xNT? On the Dangerous Things website, or from a reseller?
I am sorry my18666, but you may need to get a replacement implant. The capability container cannot be fixed once it is changed.
If you get a new implant, use the Dangerous NFC (BETA) app to protect it so that this will not happen again
@mdanger
Just looping you in. my18666 may need a replacement xNT because the write protection was never applied, and some app made their whole tag read only
