Please To All What Is The Difference With Format Of Flash Mfw And Pcf Thank You

@ jawal,

*.mfw - are meant to be used when the handset is connected to PC via Smart-Clip.
There are 3 types of *.mfw flash files

reflash.mfw - meant to be used for upgrade of software. No data will be lost from the phone. Other words, all downloaded pictures, ring tones, contacts won't be erased from the handset memory.
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.

*.pcf – flash file to be used in PC flash mode of SmartMoto program with S-Card connected to PC USB port. No Smart-Clip is required in this case.
*.sbf /*.shx – original manufacturer flash file formats to be used in PC flash mode (see *.pcf file description).
Pcf files don't contain boot in itself.
