Mass-effect – How far back in the storyline do I have to go to be able to save Eve on Tuchanka

mass-effect-3

So I was playing the Tuchanka missions, but Eve died on me, and we can't have that, so I dug up some save editors and changed my ME2 plot choice so that I saved Maelon's cure. It's weird that she dies at all, since I can't imagine why I would've opted to destroy Maelon's cure in the first place since it's apparently a paragon choice to save it – could this be a glitch? I then tried to replay the last Tuchanka mission, but she still dies. All of my squadmates were loyal at the end of ME2, and all of them survived the suicide mission.

I'm an avid game-saver, so my question is: how far back in the storyline do I have to go for the Maelon's cure boolean to take effect and change the outcome, i.e. to save Eve and keep the Krogans in check?

According to this source:

If the player chose to destroy Maelon's data back in Mass Effect 2, then at the very end of the genophage cure quest line on Tuchanka, regardless of whether or not the player chose to allow Mordin or Wiks to fix the sabotaged cure, Eve will collapse and die due to complications coming from having the genophage cure being based on incomplete data.

Additionally:

Also, if the quest to disarm the rearmed turian bomb left over from the Krogan Rebellions is left uncompleted, then the bomb detonates and Shepard will receive a message from the Urdnot leader stating that Eve has died.
