How Erase Phone Flash

BEFORE SOMETHING TO DO MAKE SURE THAT THE CABLE IS 100% WORKING**. ALWAYS MAKE IMEI AND PM BACKUPS**.
Erase files will erase ALL data in phone flash - firmware and EEProm (SIMLOCK, ENERGY and RF CALIBRATION !) IF YOU DON'T HAVE VALID BACKUP FILES PHONE WILL BE DAMAGED - THEN YOU NEED ASK2RPL. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ABOUT SIZE CHIP - DON'T TOUCH! UNKNOWED OPERATION WILL KILL YOUR PHONE ! Which file should I use to
Erasing phone flash?
Depending on the type of CPU (RAP3G, RAPIDO) and depending on the type of size (8MB, 16MB, 32 MB). You have to know what you type CPU. 

How do I check RAP3G or RAPIDO?
Before flashing the program shows loaders:

for RAP:
Code:Boot... rap3gv2_2nd.fg RAP3Gv3_algo.fg

or RAPIDO sample log:
Code:Booting Phone... RAPIDOv11_2nd.fg

How do I check 8MB, 16MB or 32MB ?
Old method of using the Microsoft Windows calculator. For example:

Code:Processing File: RM36_5.050440_B5.C0R 
Boot... 
rap3gv2_2nd.fg
 RAP3Gv3_algo.fg
 helen3_2nd.fg
 rap3gv2_2nd.fg
 RAP3Gv3_algo.fg
 helen3_2nd.fg
 h3_sam_nand_gbbm.fg
 Erase RAP3 [00000000 - 00509309] 
Erase RAP3 [006A0000 - 006BFFFF] 
Erase RAP3 [006DF000 - 006EFFFF] 
Erase RAP3 [00700000 - 007EFFFF] 
Erase APE [00000000 - 0000FFFF] 
Erase APE [00010000 - 0001FFFF] 
Erase APE [00020000 - 000203FF] 
Erase APE [00050000 - 01F5BFFF] 
Erase[37.34 MB]...

 h3_sam_nand_gbbm.fg
 Erase APE [01060000 - 01F5BFFF]

Now we have to look for the last range address of RAP CPU - highlighted in blue (007EFFFF). Go to Menu Start >> All programs >> Accesoriess >> Calculator

Next set to Scientific mode (go to View >> scientific)
Set to HEX retype last range address (7EFFFF) then change to DEC. Should shows 8323071 share it by 1024 (1MB):

Code:8323071 / 1024 = 8127,99 kB (8MB)
conclusion: we use BB5Erase_8MBrap.bin for RAP CPU (RAPIDO are 32MB)
Sample log from successfully erasing proccess:

What's to do after full erasing?
1) Flash latest ver MCU + PPM (+CNT) wihout PProfile and Pcode:
2) Write RPL from backup or GT ASK2RPL service**:
3) Write PM:
4) Flash latest version one more with Pcode and Pprofile after Full Factory Reset:
