Your FS will be called K850_R1FA037_FS_HUTCH-WORLD_RED52. If you want any other language, just search the FS version where your language is included. Do not forget to download the right firmware for your phone. Flashing wrong firmware can be dangerous and can kill phone.

You can see tutorial below:

- Be sure to have the USB drivers installed, run GG setup that comes with the A2uploader archive.
- Before we start your battery has to have enough power left, 50% or more. Flashing with a low battery percentage can kill your phone.

Main screen: This is the main screen of A2uploader. With the identify button you can check your IMEI number, current firmware and device name.

Add the firmware: Press the button add and select the main firmware file you just downloaded, it must have a *.mbn extension. Now pres sok, you’re back on the main screen and the firmware file is added to the box.
Again press add and now select your FS file, this file must have *.fbn extension.

- Now the program will ask you to hold C and connect your phone. Turn off the phone, hold "C" and now insert the USB cable while holding the "C" button. You can release the C button when new text appears in the big box on the left.

- If holding C doesn't connect the phone connect while holding the 2 and 5 key, this applies for some A2 phone

- A2uploader will now flash the firmware. During this process do NOT disconnect your phone.

- After complete flashing process. A2 uploader will say “ready” at the bottom when the flashing process is done, now you can safely disconnect your phone from the USB cable.

- Now we have to add custom pack files to make phone work!
- You can get custompack from here

Q: How to write custom files?
A: Remove the two firmware files that are in the box and add the custompack you have downloaded (still ZIPPED) to misc files with the “…” button.

- Now press flash and connect the phone again holding C, like we did before. Then wait till A2 uploader says “Ready’ again and disconnect.

That's all ;) Special thnx to the_laser for making A2 uploader

P.S. Disable your AV software before downloading. the_laser uses themidia encryption to prevent people stealing the sources and loaders of his A2uploader. AV software recognises this as virus/trojan horse but this is a false alarm. This software is completely safe.
