another go with a w580i

so, i got my first w580i a bit ago, and i successfully flashed it debranded etc, but then my battery wouldnt charge
i'm fairly certain it was a hardware problem
anyways, i just got my new one after sending the old one back (took almost 2 months)
and i completely forget how i did anything that i did, because i was just following a guide for noobs like myself
anyways, got my w580i, its new, would like to debrand it, etc
so i basically am starting from scratch again, no knowledge of what i am doing
i hate to be like everyone else and say "hurrr, hold my hand and help me nao" but, i am :/
if theres already a nice guide for this, i believe i can follow it :D
thanks for your time

Start with this tutorial XS++ 3.1 Guide-Flashing, Customizing, Recovering - Top Sony Forums

i cant seem to backup my GDFS, i think its because i have a CID53 phone?
11:32:25| Sorry, your phone is NOT SUPPORTED
11:32:25| Error: Failed to send CSLoader!
11:32:25| FSX Shutdown!
11:32:27| Disconnected... Unplug the phone

oh god, i think i killed it...
i was using that guide, and during the FS flash, it errored and stopped flashing
now it wont turn on
im trying to recover using SEUS

edit: WOOT, seus wins and fixed my phone!
now, i think i did something wrong...
can someone help me?

ok, so i have my functional phone, and i have been eagerly awaiting a reply, so i can get this puppy debranded
its a w580i as i said, cid 53, AT&T branded atm

i dont use jd flasher but this is the only free tool to flash cid 53 phones u may get help from this link Flashing with jdflasher - Top Sony Forums

Do an Identify with setool2lite1.11

the only free tool you can use to debrand a CID53 is JDFlasher with farmanager. it will debrand your phone but you cant back up your GDFS(which makes me not keen on flashing the phone) and also you cant add patches. good luck

It´s true, but we need an Identify!!!

But he updated with SEUS,what do u want the log for???\
Anyway,mate,flash it with jdflasher,then pay 25 euros to downgrade it to CID52 so u are able to patch it

why do we need a identify? brass just told us all the stuff we generally need to know. plus brass has flashed his phone before, so he know what to look out for. all he wanted to now know is if it was possible to flash CID53 and with what.

Is cid53 suported already?

Yes, you can flash cid 53 phones with FarManager with JDFlasher. But you can`t unlock cid 53 phones for free for now.

Have a nice day
