Hi guys,
My k800i did something strange last days, all of the applications 'doubled' and i can't install/uninstall any applications anymore. It says the memorycard is full (but that's bogus)
The hard-reset didn't solve anything, nor formatting the memorycard did any good.
I now want to reflash it to original state, I read i'd need "main" and "fs" for that, but i know there are many versions of these.
Can anyone tell me what version i would need? And does anyone know the needed software for the flashing or a good tutorial i could use? (I'd like to keep my phone simlock-free.)
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your response.
It says I've got firmware "R1KG001" and there's a whole bunch of text more and i've apparently got some sort of modification which says: "R1KG001 EUROPE_3"
My "Content version" is PA30
Could anyone help me finding the right firmware for my mobile? I'm really lost in the differences of unbranding/debranding/unlocking/modifying etc.

In order to link you correct files we need to know the phones CID. Connect your phone to XS++ 3.1 and post the log. If your not really interested in modding the phone use SEUS. 
Debranding - Removing operator stuff like icons etc and restore phone to how  intended.
Unlocking - Removing the sim lock so u can use any sim card.
Modding - Modifying the phone in a way didn't intend!

Thanks for the response and help so far.
I think my CID is 52, at least that is what XS++ lists at the bottom.
Here is the log:
14:05:16| Baseband ID: 9900
14:05:16| Protocol Version: 3.1
14:05:16| Phone name detected!
14:05:16|
14:05:16| Profiling SEMC phone...
14:05:16| Platform: DB2020
14:05:16| OTP CID: 49
14:05:16| EROM CID: 52
14:05:16| EROM Color: Red
14:05:16| IMEI: 35170801xxxxxx
14:05:16| Phone ID: K800
14:05:16| Region: EUROPE_3
14:05:16| CDA: CDA102511/52 R15A
14:05:16| Firmware Version: R1KG001
14:05:16| EROM: R3A016
14:05:16| Ready for operation!
I would really appreciate any further help.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT:
This is my first day so I can only make 3 posts.
Thank you really much for telling me what firmware to look for.
Somehow I'm getting banned "for no reason" by seusers whily trying to make an account. Is there any other website I can download the firmware from?
Edit 2:
Are you saying I should flash R8BF003? XS++ says my firmware is R1KG001?
Things sorted themselves out in the end! I'm really happy everything works fine now. Thank you guys for your help.
Edit 3:
Hi Boysie
should i have used R8BF003? In my obstinancy i chose for R1KG001, I thought maybe you didn't read my post good enough. I think I should have used RR8BF? R1KG is working fine right now, one difference maybe I notice is the upperleft icon in the menu it has changed from some sort of planet to a document with SE logo.
Should I reflash with R8BF?
Edit 4:
whooa, thanks for that notice boysie.
Any ideas on whether or not it is safe to use a non Europe_3 FS for my phone?
Thanks!

Thats good news. DO NOT USE SEUS! Go to http://www.seusers.com and register. Look for k800 R8BF003 GENERIC CID52 MAIN, a EUROPE 3 FS and a EUROPE 3 custpack.
EDIT: You could also try www.iprotebe.cz and searching on www.4shared.com

If its working ok now leave it. Just in future if anything goes wrong, use R8BF because its the latest and pretty much bug free, unlike R1KG.

I'm not sure that using more than one username is allowed.
