Is flashing make bootloader weak?

[Rlove]

my question is that
1.by flashing our bootloader(MBM mode) isnt get weak?


2.what happened in flashing process?

*is it patch or formatting like pc(windows or etc.)

by formatting pc HDD also get slow thats why i ask this.

[shantanu]

no its not making bootloader weak

[haryanamotolovers]

I dont think flashing could be harmful to our mobiles... If It is in perfect way

dude there are many people flash there phones more then 100 times

The flash chip has a limited amount of erase cycles before it becomes unflashable.. This is on the order of 50.000 erases. Its safe for most people, but if you make a loop that flashes your phone over and over, then yes, it will damage you phone after some time.

jffs permit to write on flash relatively safely because it does a "dispatch" to not write and rewrite everytime in the same place (so datas are not contiguous, but the chip is happy and user don't care ).

This "dispatching" is called "wear levelling", sometimes it's done by the hardware (like on the (micro)SDs ) sometimes not , like on our phne's flash chip.

The problem is that a flash is never always perfect! And a failed bootloader flash certainly brick a phone... This is a thing to keep in mind...

Supposing bootloader and mbm are 1megabyte gig, the whole flash is 64megas, if a flash fail to write for some reasons (cable, windows..., connectors...) then probably you have one chance on 64 to brick the phone. Well, it's very rare and it seems most of "failed" flash are due to firmware incompatibilities, or modder that didn't take care of checksums ...

So telling a flash fail one time each 20 or 40 is probably exagerated, it really fails if you have a buggy windows, or a wrong cable or connector...

And in the E6, there is a bootloader, and a MBM, it's differents softwares.
We need both to boot to flash mode and repair a phone with jtag...

In some case a shop that have a magic rokr box, or something like that, can repair a phone, but not always! Most of the time they use this box for diagnostic or flash i guess... And "repair" by changing the phone's motherboard.

but it makes processor weak i think.
in flashing process what happens only cg's are overwrite or any other.

but it makes processor weak i think.

no, only "use it and the RAM softly", like anytime, when your phone is powered.

in flashing process what happens only cg's are overwrite or any other.

It depends... there is a lot of differents flash files and what they overwrite depends...Some are 5Meg...others 70....
Differents CGs are Language pack, rootfs, config, bootloader, MBM, ezxlocal, etc...
Ezxcodec will edit the sbf or shx or any flash file and tell you what areas of the phone will be overwriten if you flash it.

then why its use to much battery?
