Thanks for the info: How can you tell the difference in the files. Meaning which company the flash file belongs to Cingular, T-Mobile Etc. Is there a way to tell the difference as to which company it is for flashing or de logoizing a phone

If the brand name is in the filename it means that the file is branded to some ISP.

Thanks for Info ........
And in flashing manual there write that......
SmartMoto supports 7 flash file formats (4 of them are new to Smart-Clip): *.mfw, *.mbk, *.pcf, *.smf, *.smb, *.sbf and *.shx. No other formats will be compatible.
But when I flash any set and I press the browse buttan it pick only two format files *.mfw , *.smf not other so what I do .that my smart moto also pick these 7 formats.....
I use
Smart-Clip v4.08
SmartMoto v3.16

@ S.leo,

*.pcf, *.smf, *.smb, *.sbf and *.shx. file formats are supported by the SCout flasher.
SCout flasher can be used with the S-Card or SCout dongle.
Check this link (http://www.scoutdongle.com) for more detailed information.
