    Cannot indentify W580i using C but yes with 2+5?

    If I use C Setool2lite will not work but if I use 2+5 it identifies. Only thing now is I can't flash it. Need C to work. Is there a way to fix this?

    it happened on my w580i when its GDFS was damaged.do you have backup of your phone's GDFS? because GDFS is unique.
    using "C" button connects your phone via your phone's "EROM".
    using "2+5" button connects your phone via your phone's "ROM".

    I used Omnius to back it up. It was like this when I got it. Just trying to get it working. Will buy license when ready to repair GDFS using Omnius if that will work? Can Omnius rebuild GDFS without backup?

    Anyone Know?

    Omnius can rebuild gdfs and you can use backup from any w580 but must be good working phone.

    have you yet restored your GDFS?a sign of a dead erom is normally a blinking red led on the "C" button of your phone.

    Omnius does not reconstruct/rebuild/repair GDFS on W580. Bought license but it won't do it. Wasted money.

    Well,that is not true.You posted in Omnius forum that you can switch on the phone after gdfs repair.Gdfs repair can't solve hardware problems.If you do that correctly there is some other problem with that phone and why you post that Omnius does not repair gdfs as hundreds/thousands people repaired there phones successfuly.
    I must say that you surprized me as noone before.

Only in airplane mode though. So I flashed the main, fs and cuspack then it said insert correct sim. So I unlocked using omnius unlock by reset. Then it won't start up anymore unless I restore GDFS again. Tried other working w580i GDFS's and phone starts but locked. I tried AT&T, Sprint, Rogers, and Nextel sims none worked. Any idea's?

    And each time I restored a GDFS it skipped 1 to 4 units.
    I think all is clear now to everyone,your answer is in Omnius forum and you didn't post any log about that phone.

    Did someone give you any warranty that it will be repaired???? and why didn't you post logs from that phone in Omnius forum????
    NO regards for you and just to inform you that you are the first person ever that i posted "NO regards".
