GDFS is part of the phone's firmware where all phone variables are stored. It contains other information about the phone such as, phone number currently used, phone model, manufacturer name, IMEI number and etc... are stored there...

CDA is the mark of the region your phone firmware is for... You know european firmwares have one CDA, asian has another...

Elfpack is a patch that grants your phone support for the latest elfs around the forums (and internet)..

Hope this makes the things clear.

about gdfs edit - program that allows GDFS editing, but you cannot decode the GDFS easily like that...Plus it is illegal in some countries (if not all)... This can be used for changing info of phone and modding purposes.
