Hey there!
While I was waiting for a reply I found another way to do it which worked pretty well. It's also a LOT easier than the method that was linked in this post.

I'm going to go ahead and list the steps. (Props go to Lemming @ forums.se-nse.net)

Step 0:
Download the USB Flash Drivers from: Here and extract them to any folder you like. Once you get XS++ working and your phone in flash mode, it will ask for these drivers.

Step 1:
Download XS++ http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=6805

Step 2:
Download MAIN and FS for your phone. (Mine was a W810i branded with Cingular) You can find them at TopSony or http://www.iprotebe.cz

Step 3:
Extract files and connect phone. Just follow the instructions on XS++ to connect your phone. After that's done, just browse to your MAIN and FS files that you just downloaded and click the check box on "Customize File System", select the phone model you have, and then click the language that your FS supports (in my case, AMERICA2).

That's it, just click flash and let it do its thing!!

*Note* This process can take up to 5 hours!!! (Took 2.5 on my phone.) So make sure you have the time and the battery to complete it!!!

Enjoy you guys!! This is MUCH easier to do than the other process, and it's FREE!!!

Oh yeah, and I used W810_R4EK001_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49 and W810_R4EK001_FS_AMERICA_2_RED49. The process worked 100%!! Keep in mind that in theory, this process can be used for any other RED49 phone. I havn't tested it, but it should work.
