Hi,
It's not a bad idea to read the Phaser manual for molecular replacement;
see http://www.phaser.cimr.cam.ac.uk/index.php/Molecular_Replacement
Soon after the start, in a table on the right hand side, there is: TFZ
score < 5, have I solved it ? No.
Hence with a TFZ score of 3.8 you do not have a solution using Phaser.
