I tried to send this messege yesterday afternoon
but as it seems it never got through:

Hi

I am neither a hardware guy nor a software expert
But I could reproduce the situation and I have a "fix" for it.
I flashed Qi.
Powered off.
I tried to get into NOR boot.
This didn't work.
I tried to boot. Nothing happens (this may be because I don't have a 
kernel on the µsd)
I tried to get into NOR boot several times.
I removed the SIM card.
I got into NOR boot.
I inserted the SIM card.
I got into NOR boot.
I tried to boot using Qi. (This didn't work).
After that NOR boot wouldn't work either until I removed the SIM card 
again.

I hope this helps.
For me it does and I can reproduce the situation.
