Yes, it should be possible… but this is wild west China firmware we’re talking about here… even Iceman says he’s not found a “perfect” magic chip yet. They all have oddities, and because there is no standard at all for these, the names we give them like gen1 and gen2 are just prayers in the wind… a search for meaning in the chaos.
It’s confirmed even with certain magic cards that bad couplings and bad writes with bit errors can put various types of magic chips into the shithouse, specifically when writing to block 0… but so far it seems it’s possible to recover with the updated commands that Iceman put into the latest rev… but again… tears and bit errors are random, so maybe some of the bit errors we created during testing meant the chip was recoverable while bit errors others may have accidentally introduced might not be… no manuals, no tech reps, no official products… it’s chaos my friend.
