First,

Everything in your phone, contacts, wallpapers, mp3, videofiles etc..etc gets deleted, so take a back-up of everything on a PC

Second it does not matter where you store the main (.mbn), file system (.fbn) but save the cust file in the XS++ application folder by creating a new folder in it own_custpak.

just need a new custom pack. here is a list: http://www.topsony.com/foro/cmps_index.php?page=CDA_Z550

the custom pack contains information about the configuration, language, region, operator, and sometimes predefined images, sound and other files sometimes these files are innecessary as the operators use them to customize their phones. it's better to use a generic cda as it doesnt contain any of these files but the basic settings the phone needs.
