Question where do firmwares come from? - 11-10-2007


I have noticed on many websites that you are able to download FS and MAIN files. my question is where do you guys get them from? i noticed there is an R8 for the w580i, but if you go to SE's site and you check for updates it doesn't find it. i am still on my R7, ATT firmware which i can't wait to get out of ASAP. so if it isn't a BIG secret where you get the files file i would be happy to know.

thanks

think people are able to use a full SE service kit to rip firmwares off their handsets.

Firmware comes directly from SEMC. It has to be modified before you can use it with XS, SE Tool etc.

i think theres a trick to read and copy the full FW of phones (even if they say taht isnt possible at the moment) or the other way would be that somebody of sony uploads them, but i dont think so .lol
