flash_flex.mfw - meant to be used for upgrade of software with change of flex (change of basic setting, e.g. working frequency band). Some data could be lost from the phone's memory after flashing.
full_flash.mfw - complete change of firmware including the EEPROM. All added data will be erased from the memory.
Flash optionsForce simple write mode (slower)
Sometimes during work with different types of flash memory chips, Block record method does not work.
In this case it's possible to work with slower but easier and more reliable flashing method - "word" flashing method. Such method takes up to 3-4 times longer to flash, but allows to work with wider variety of microchips. We recommend using this method in case of problems with block method.
Overwrite boot area
This option is required for flashing the handset with full_flash.mfw file while boot core has to be repaired or changed (downgraded).
Skip firmware mismatch confirmation
In some cases, the handset can be flashed with higher lang_pack version that differs from the original phone firmware. This option allows to avoid the firmware check. (Recommended for advanced users only!)
Turn phone off after flashing
This option allows the SmartMoto turning the handset off right after the flash process finished.

We strictly recommend not to flash the phones with backup flash files received from other phones in these models: C975, C980, V975, V980, E1000, A1000, V1050. We would urge everyone to use the latest version of SmartMoto and to flash the handsets only with files downloaded from our website. This does not apply to the backed up language packs.
Please, create a backup of the full flash before actual flashing. So, in case of the wrong flashing the handset can be restored to its original state.
Backup files (*.mbk) are created only for the Clip that they were made with.
It’s not possible to use "restore" feature with the backup file made by any other Clip.
In case of creating a backup of language pack, file will be saved in *.mfw format and won’t be bound to Smart-Clip hardware.
