the files you have choose to be a good one, use setool2lite to flash your phone but remember to first backup your gdfs before doing anything with your phone

thx for your reply, i surely backup the gdfs before doing anything onwards.
i am newbie to this, sorry for asking dumb questions.
i know that XS++, setool2lite and far manager can flash the phone, how do you know which one to use?

Still worry about the custom pack Melinda_Generic_CDA102737_108_R1A_GENERIC_CHINA, coz the cda were different.

[zcliang]

just found out that there is 2 custom pack, which one should i use?
Melinda_Generic_CDA102737_108_R1A_GENERIC_CHINA
Melinda_Generic_CDA102737_108_R3A_GENERIC_CHINA
