Help me please ! I am beginner in Siemens phone ?
early I discover that these phones (siemens ) are really great !
---> What is Map file ?
Contains some blocks of EEPROM, mostly operator settings
--->what's the difference betwin the map file and the eeprom file ?
Map is only a part of EEPROM. So you don't need to change Battery config, LCD Contrast....you won't change very importent informations
--->what is the partial flash ?
Only small part of Firmware. Used to patch SW (tune SW), change language....
---> "" "" full flash ?
Contains all, EEPROM, Bootcore and Firmware.
--->When I can flash the phone with full or partial flash ?
When you are able to access the phone.
--->what is the difference betwin the firmware and the flash file?
I think you mean firmware updates.
Updates, which inludes only firmware (yeah, cool explination, but I don'zt know how to do it better ;)). So now EEPROM and no Bootcore.
If you change EEPROM you will probable get problems like no screen (only blue) or bad battery capacity.
If you will kill Bootcore you aren't able to access the phone untill you make a new boot way. (Set voltage from T9 to 0V. In most cases cutting the track which goes to T9)

@Chris02
so we can revive a most dead siemens phones with this method :
If you will kill Bootcore you aren't able to access the phone untill you make a new boot way. (Set voltage from T9 to 0V. In most cases cutting the track which goes to T9)
