If, instead of using a generic CDA file, I use a specific CDA file, I won't have to configure anything, right?

Thanks for the replies.

i have a proper k810i (not a k800i) and i used k810i custom files for it. i also have a k800@k810 with the k810i r8ba024 main and k800i r8ba024 FS and k800 custom files

So, only the firmware needs to be from a K810, FS and CDA can be from K800 and they work together fine?

Thanks for the replies.

I think you misunderstood my post. What I write is for the same model. It is not advisable to use firmware from other model. It MAY work like using K810 firmware on K800 model with few limitation but there is no guarantee and void phone warranty.

I have yet to find anyone who flash K810 with K800 firmware (most seems to do the oposite to gain track ID and add camera feature that I don't remember the name). Edit: Except Gaming Guy there. Which I may ask what it is in the K800 FS that is not in K810 FS?

I think you may want to use the generic firmware if yours is not available. For example if you are with x network in German and you can't find that same CDA with your phone, then you may want to flash your phone with Generic Firmware that contain German language. It use GENERIC_MAIN and EUROPEx_FS (I don't remember the x number that contain German language).

So I think it is better to find the Generic firmware in your area than to use other model firmware. But yes you may lost specific icon, etc, etc.

Why do you flash your firmware anyway. If you are doing just for the sake of upgrade then I think just wait until your CDA firmware is available.

I'm sorry, maybe I wasn't too explicit. I have a k800, that I want to upgrade to k810 R8 firmware, with appropriate K810 FS. My problem is that the specific CDA file I need, doesn't exist for k810 , I can find it only for k800 (because my network never sold the k810).
My question would be if I can upgrade my k800 to k810 firmware and FS but use a CDA file from k800. If it's just a network configuration file, I don't believe it should cause any problem.

The purpose would be, first for upgrade sake, second to install modifications that are way more abundant for k810 than k800. Although now, I'm a bit intrigued by the new R8 firmware released for k800. We'll see. For now I'm just analyzing possibilities.

Thanks for the replies.

Sorry I got you wrong. Yeah you can flash your K800 with K810 firmware from other CDA. Go to flashing K800 with K810 thread. There are few issues that can be minimized by patching.

SE usually only fix bug in new firmware. So if you are hoping new K800 firmware will give new functionality then it won't happen.
