    these two are the most important parts when flashin and those two have to match! if you want to have latest firmware then i suggest:
    W810_R4EA031_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49
    W810_R4ED001_FS_AMERICA_2_RED49
    model_CDA102555_107_AMERICA_2

    you must have all those three files in order to flash your phone and have the latest firmware!!! of course you can choose different firware. it's up to you. but i think that this one is the best as it's the latest

    oh i forgot to ask what phone you've got. i just somehow thought that you have w810i but maybe i'm wrong. if you have different phone then you can't flash this firmware

    Firmware has two parts:
    1. FS: It contains languages, images, sounds, animations, settings, etc. Anything that isn't pure software.
    2. Main: It contains the software.

    if you just put language file in your fone it wont work, you shoul do in this way: for example you want to have english in your fone and you have uk.lng
    rename it into file of language that already exists in your phone (french for example), i meen uk.lng -> fr.lng and replace it, but remember it bugs on sms and also may bugs anywhere else!!! want to have no bugs - flash with fs of the same version of sw and customize it with correspondence custom pack!!!
    good luck!!!

    main makes the phone work, contains code ESSENTIAL to the operation of the phone.

    FS is the file system structure, so when you insert a new (non-formatted) m2 card or similar, the phone knows what files and folders to create, and where to create them so they're compatible with the phone.
