Why is it impossible to erase my T32CM11?

If a T32CM11 is erased and then hardware reset while flash is empty, the chip can enter boot ROM remap mode. In this state, reads from the normal flash address range may show boot ROM alias data instead of erased flash contents. This can make the device look like it cannot be erased, even though the flash erase succeeded.

To recover, program the device with any valid image, erase it again, and then read or blank-check it without doing a hardware reset between the erase and read.
