your question is a very good one. where are the patches stored, in the FW or EROM? if patches are stored in the FW, of course pathces will be deleted, but if are in the EROM, what happens?

i think that patches are implemented to the FW. look, when you are about to add a patch, you must be aware what FW you have and what FW is the patch for. if you patch your phone with a patch different from your FW, it may cause that your phone work improperly. got it?

Well, it the firmware is important for patching, but then why does FAR ask for confirmation for EROM writing when you apply patch to your phone? It maybe changes the both, the EROM and the FW.

im thinking this: the patch goes directly to the FW, FW is stored in the EROM (Erasable Read Only Memory). so, that's why FAR warns you about the EROM.

im not sure of what i've said

someone enlighten us!!!!!!!!!!
