XS++3.1 Darwin broke my K800i

Sorry, that should have been 88KB, not 80KB!

Guys, I am a bit confused about the terminology being used in this forum. Does anyone know if there is a tutorial which clearly explains the difference between main firmware, FS firmware, EROM firmware, and GDFS firmware. There are excellent totorials about how to burn this firmware using xs++ etc, but I'm just not sure of the exact difference, and hence, which should be used to solve a particular problem.
Secondly, I'm also confused about burning firmware and then finishing by burning a cust pack. It seems to me that once you burn both Main and FS, then you must also finish by burning a Custom Firmware. But then I see that some people advise to solve a problem by burning Main firmware only? Is this possible without burning a cust pack? Is there anywhere that this is explained in detail?

Hope someone can help me all this, as I now intend to burn something onto my phone to solve my problem, but I'm still not sure which?

Thanks in advance!

You Are Absolutely Right But Read It Carefully:
To Repair WSOD: Flash MAIN
To Prevent WSOD: Update EROM

Ok, so the first thing I need to do is flash Main. As for preventing WSOD, I need to update EROM. Hoever, my EROM CID id 52. Can I rewrite CID 52 rather than updating to CID53? I heard CID 53 is not supported yet by a lot of the software such as xs++. I'd rather keep it at 52 in that case.

Hi. I do not think there is enough correct info on where to flash files on the phones i.e. fs or main. Where should one put a gdfs or erom for example. What file sould they be flashed to. I have researched the internet and it seams everyone is stabbing in the dark without any real information, leading to damaged phones. If anyone can inform us better then please do.
