Hi Liviu,

each erased block is verified to contain 0xFF before it is tried to be
written. So the erase is successful when the W is printed. Now there
are two possibilities: either the writes did not work, or after a write
another delete undoes the write later. Can you please tell me the exact
S25FL128S model you have? There are many versions of the chip (as the
dots in the name suggests) and I presume that the problem is that the
current implementation is not compatible with all models.
