Flash + Backup

SM supports the following flash file formats: *.smf, *.shx and *.smb *.smf files are meant to be used when your handset is connected to PC via Smart-Clip (phone > USB cable > Smart-Clip > LPT cable > PC). Choose "Smart-clip USB port" in phone connection window, press "Search" (it will detect your handset), go to the bookmark "Flash", choose your flash file and flash the phone. *.shx files are used for flashing with SmartMoto in PC flash mode. Connect your phone to the PC USB port directly (phone > USB cable > PC). Choose appropriate option (PC USB) in SmartMoto tool, phone connection window, press "Search" (it will detect your handset), go to the bookmark "PC flash", choose your flash file and flash the phone. Flashing in PC flash mode will require a phone driver to be installed. Universal driver for all P2K models is available within SmartMoto directory (SmartMoto install folder \drivers\p2k.sys). To install the driver: connect your handset to the PC, system will detect a new device, locate the driver and run the installation as many times as system will require it. To backup a language pack: bookmark "Flash" > "Read language pack" Don't forget to backup the full flash before actual flashing: bookmark "Backup" > "Backup phone flash" (in this case you will get *.smb file), you will be able to use it in case you need to restore your handset to its original condition. Also you can flash your phone with backed up file from another phone. In some models security zone will get backed up automatically with the flash file. In this case, after flashing the phone you will have to restore its original security area. Bookmark "Backup" > "Restore security area". You can recognize the file of Security Zone by phone's IMEI. We strictly recommend not to flash 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 *.smf files downloaded from our website.

- If the message "Error 0" appears on display - it means that the phone's security zone was corrupted. The handsets with this kind of error won't get connected in normal way; - If phone displays "Error 0x1DE" need to go to "Unlock" Bookmark and press "Remove RSA". Phone must be connected via Smart-Clip for that and taken into boot mode using *#PWR ON key combination (with standard cable) or using repair cable without keys combination. During Read Flash procedure - flash files will be created in safe mode ensuring quality flashing later. If there is a risk that firmware can't be read safely, SmartMoto will not complete the Read Flash procedure.

Memory troubleshooting: Force simple write mode
Some times during work with different types of Flash 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 give a chance to work with higher quantity of microchips. We recommend to use this method in case of problems with block method.
