Language change mysterie W880i Please Help

Hi, I'm calling on you all cause I'm getting desperate.

I bought a 2nd hand W880i for my daughter via eBay in Germany, the phone is fine but in German :) and as my daughter speaks Dutch SMS I would like to flash the phone to Dutch. The phone is SIMLock free and CID53

I've flashed the phone with FAR2 and JDFlasher to

W880_R8BA024_FS_EUROPE_3_RED53.fbn
W880_R8BA024_MAIN_VODAFONE_AI_RED53.mbn &
W880i_CDA102719_89_R8A_Proximus_Belgium

After flashing, the phone works fine but no way to change the language other than English, (and doing a Master Reset isn't working either but no p)
I've added NL to the allowed_language.txt file and to the costumize.xml (in tpa/preset/custom), no luck

it's driving me pretty crazy :) Is the above combo maybe wrong?

Thanks for sharing your suggestions and for your help,

Best regards,
Bart

Read here: Flash K800 CID53 with K810 software CID53 (for begginers) - Top Sony Forums and use these files:

Info for EUROPE_3 => English - Danish - Dutch - French - German

W880_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_AI_RED53
W880_R8BA024_FS_EUROPE_3_RED53
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_12_R8A_GENERIC_EUROPE_3 (this file download from Downloads > Custom Files > w580custpack )

Got it working!

Thanks a 1.000.000!

Still would like to have the old vodaphone buttons though, to avoid extreme high communication costs of Mobile internet here in Belgium, in the old config the WAP button was the green phone and the menu button was the red phone.
Could you advise me what part of the custom file I need to edit/use or does it sit in the firmware?

Again, thanks for your excellent advice! Bart
