One of the few people who ever recovered from "erase all" - - -
Which means something has changed about its having been broken for years.

Now if someone has a sacrificial PW2, we could probably investigate the details.
Hmm...
The "erase all" command should (well, was) part of the Amazon released u-boot sources, maybe a bit of code reading is called for before burning a PW2 to the gods of knowledge.

Hmm(2)...
If so, it probably got fixed when the USB downloader mode disappeared from the PW1 - - -
because with it fixed, they wouldn't need a 'magic key' sequence to enter USB downloader mode, they could just use u-boot (which is the way the firmware was intended to be used).
