Help me select correct firmware please

[SeaMonkey]

OK for upgrading to CID 52 now

There are so many files that ends in 52 to chose from in firmware download I do not know where to start.

"Remove SIM-lock patch generator" What is that for? and is it a seperate tool?

When download firmware start simlock patch generator and just MAIN firmware drug&drop
on simlock window and in folder vkp you find patch for unlocking your phone

End for firmware R8BF003_RED52 is newest but I don't know what FS is for Canada - sorry,just wait for someone who knows

End one more thing - DON'T use RED53 because for now can't unlock CID53 for free

Since I;m in Canada I think the file i need is:

K790_R1EG001_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52

I looked inside and all I see is :

K790_R1EG001_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52.fbn

That is the FIrmware correct?

I also need Flash File System correct?. Is this file Flash File in download section?

It's as if you guys are steering me away from using XS++ and use the simlock patch generator instead.?

Nice. I'm using the XS++ guide has a reference and do not see any reference to simlock patch generator. What is this for?
