flasher -f -F rightimage.bin --erase-user-data=secure worked to restore it to PR1.1. I didn't use erase-user-data everytime though.

The only mixing and matching I've done is to use a different image for --flash-only=mmc

The log below shows a flash attempt that flashes ok but bricks the phone.

Might --erase-user-data=secure have made a difference?

Do you know where the data is stored that is shown with the shell command:

sysinfoclient -p /device/sw-release-ver

If it is stored in the area that --erase-user-data=secure clears then that might explain why the value didn't update after the flashing in the log below when I did flasher -i afterwards.
