Let's use 0x0 then. This way all cells are actually in a "programmed"
state. BTW, I'd still be interested in knowing more about the root
cause of this issue. What causes this wrong "cell is erased" detection
in your chips? I thought the ERASE operation was an iterative process
and cells were being tested after each step to know whether they are
erased or not in order to decide to do another step or stop.
Am I wrong? What happens here to cause this erroneous detection?
