I want to flash my s500i to w580 but having problem to find the right FS and Cust pack for my phone? I have W580_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52. I live in Pakistan so I don’t know which FS and cust pack I should use to flash my phone. Can you please paste the direct links to FS and Cust pack here?

@Ryan and all other with problems.
I was flashing to w580i when an error occurred in JDflash(My phone is CID53) and my phone fell dead. So i connected my handset (more like “Paperweight” ) using the USB cable and used the SE PC Suite to repair my phone.. and as i had backed up my contacts months ago.. i regained almost all contacts.. hence my advise to all who wish to flash their phones is to back everything up on your PC

Thanks for the tutorial. Easy to do and no issues for me!

One thing though, in the packages, even though I’m installing EUROPE_3, I cannot get danish language to appear on the phone. I tried to digg into the problem and it seems that the customization xml for EUROPE_3 does not include danish language…

Could you please inform me if you know how to get it to work?

For info, i’m flashing a s500i CID52 into w580i using GEN package for firmware and EUROPE_3 for both FS and cust.

Thanks.

Do i need to use the firmware which goes with my phone firmware? i mean my phone fimware is R8BE001.Do i need to use the same firmware version for main and fs or should i just go with the previous MAIN and FS i’d downloaded which was R8BA024.

Hello, Followed all the steps, but got a big Problem, when I turn on my phone the screen looks bigger so, it does not fix the screen, it appears with enourmous letters, so it looks horrible, and it is hard to use it.
