observations comparing dumps
Encrypted files appear to have a header:

also to note that these values are found within the eeid region.
Also noted that near the end of region 1 there seems to be this recurring pattern, it repeats the following 20 bytes 199 times
00EFD740 0A 9E F8 79 2B 99 37 5A .žøy+™7Z 00EFD750 53 49 92 D7 A5 BD 99 2A 26 2D 39 B8 SI’×¥½™*&-9¸
then it has these 15 bytes:
00EFE6D0 8C 37 E4 F4 CC CC 59 02 D0 FA B8 A5 Œ7äôÌÌY.Ðú¸¥ 00EFE6E0 1E 42 98 DD 54 AF 8D 5E .B˜ÝT¯.^
Then it repeats the first 20 bytes 199 times, looks like the tried to hide it?
same on the other dump but different data

Done some work on decoding region 2 today: Region 2 seems to = vflash partition table? These might be the first 2 regions? partition table is 4096 bytes.
