For when you hit the C-Gear seed, I think it is just advancing twice after you hit the seed. The same deal of advancing past 0270 causes it to change to the recalculated value that doesn't predict anything.

I just don't see why the C-Gear would seed to 0002 instead of 0270 anyways.

You can use that first C-Gear value to verify that you hit your C-Gear seed, so long as you verify it first by encountering a Pokemon for the IVs.

The effect of it changing has no change on the IVs, the initial seed recalculated (no c-gear) will predict all the IVs for the playthrough. For C-Gear seeds, even leaving the C-Gear on after hitting, the IVs will be predicted by that initial C-Gear seed no matter the frame (transformations)

The frame goes to two after exiting the Wi-Fi menu, so I guess it's the same thing happening like when you turn on the C-gear. So I suppose there's not much to be gained from this.
