    w580i cid53 debranding - Please help

    I am using w580i for last one year. It has AT&T SE, but its unlocked. Now using with Tmobile.

    So i am not asking for unlocking. I want to debrand it.

    I tried the xs++ tool, but the version i used said the phone is not supported.

    I was trying to see which one would work, obiviously i am googling and searched this forum and ended up with many files and confusion as end of 4hours search. Its my first time to flash a firmware but i am not new to mobile concepts.

    i need,
    1. The tool which i should use to debrand [w580i cid53]
    2. Files needed to flash my mobile.[fbn, mbx,custom....]
    3. How to backup my existing state of my mobile. [I have the sony suite and i backed up once with PC]

    Any help would be extremely appreciated.

    you can make backup of your data using My Phone Explorer, and for CID53 phone please read this carefully : Flash K800 CID53 with K810 software CID53 (for begginers) - Top Sony Forums but use files only for W580.
    Also plz post log from xs

    Wow it worked like a charm!

    I am uploading the files - so anyone who want to flash W580 can use these files and get it done!
    Megaupload link
    htt p:// ww w. megaupload .com/ ?d=LAJZNKTG

    (Just remove spaces. I am not sure whether i am supposed to paste links).

    Just follow the instructions for JDFlasher and use these files. Excellent!!!!

    CID 53.rar containts the following folders..

    FAR_JDFlasher_53
    W580_CDA102568_107_R8A_GENERIC_AMERICA_2
    W580_R8BE001_FS_AMERICA_1_RED53
    W580_R8BE001_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED53
