Help debranding and installing flash themes on my W850i

Hi thanks for looking,

I am wanting to install flash themes on my W580i and i know that involves debranding and using a custpack but i dont know which ones and exactly what to do as i don't want to get it wrong.

If anyone can help me by telling me how to do it step by step and what files i need by my log shown below.

I have a decent understanding of XS++ and SEtool2lite so i'll know what to do when you tell me.

as always im thankful for each and every post and any help and advice you can offer thanks.

thanks alot

Use this files for unbranding :
MAIN - W850_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_CY_RED52
FS - W850_R1KG001_FS_EUROPE_5_RED52 and
CUSTPACK - HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_14_R5A_GENERIC_EUROPE_5 , because I think this languages will be fine for you ( EUROPE_5 - English - French - German - Italian ). If I'm wrong just say what language do you need and will be changed.Use this tutorial for unbranding XS++ 3.1 Guide-Flashing, Customizing, Recovering - Top Sony Forums and this for puting flash menus Put flash menus on your phone - only flash supported phones - Top Sony Forums

im english so thats fine thanks for helping but just realised i put w850i in the title mine is the w580i oops bit of a bad typo to make

what do i need to back up
what do i do as in order and things in between

is it just flash main then flash the fs and then i dont know what to do with the cust pack?

thanks again mate your really helping.

With XS++ flash all 3 files and put MAIN and FS in Add section and CUSTPACK in MISC section (but read tutorial for XS++ anyway) and you MUST backup your GDFS before everything else

ive edited above and thanks ill do that but now you know its the w580i which files do i need?

thanks

Full battery,NO SIM,NO mem stick - that rull is forever ( battery not full - during flash you can damage your phone , SIM and mem stick can be erased or damaged during flash so I think the any risk is not needed

ok thanks ill have a go tommorrow when its charged.

also will you be able to tell me how to install the themes as i know your supposed to use fsx but dont wanna do it wrong so if you could when i get that far that would be great.

Also am i using XS++ or SEtool2lite and if so do i extract the zip file for the custpack or not?

thanks so much

done it actually thanks for all your help mate.
