The bootloader (low-level code located at a fixed address in the camera's memory chip, firmware independent) reads the firmware file from disk, copies the contents to the SPI (memory chip), and then deletes the file. The file won't be deleted if the file's attribute is set to read-only. In this case the only way to delete the firmware file is to format the card or change the file's read-only attribute back to normal.
When the card gets overwritten (loop mode) only video and/or photo files will be overwritten. All other files will be left alone.
