What are the differences between all the firmware versions available for download?
For example those for W580i: R8BE001 or R8BG001? RED52 or RED53?
An other question: what's the B1-06_Gen_CDA102568_12_R8A_GENERIC_EUROPE_3 for and why do I need it?
Thanks
To fix some bugs.
B1-06_Gen_CDA102568_12_R8A_GENERIC_EUROPE_3 -custom file
Quote:
Customization = Changing or replacing original content of the phone, like ringtones, wallpapers, icons, themes, that come with branded or unbranded phones. It's nothing more than first default configuring of the phone after flashing FS file. Usually the process is:
1. Writing customize.xml and server&java certificates in tpa/preset/custom in sonics folder to tpa/presest/custom folder in the phone's internal file system
2. When the phone starts after flashing, it parses that xml file, puts settings written in that xml into the phone's gdfs and works out certificates (some go to Trusted certificates, some got Java certificate etc)
If you open customize.xml you can change almost any initial settings like time zone, date, internet profiles etc.
Branded Phones = Some network providers place their own ringtones, themes, icons, links etc within phone's software. (eg. vodafone, orange, t-mobie, rogers, cingular etc.) Debranding means removing all this content and restoring phone to it's original factory SONYERICSSON condition. This will not damage phone in any way! You will loose Operator Icons, and links, WAP, and MMS settings however these you can get via http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?...=pg&tl=support
select Region ---> Country ---> Support ---> PHONE SETUP
Finalization = Completing flashing operations and storing basic settings that phone needs to properly operate [i.e. security certificates, (and this is why phone displays "configuration error" if it is not properly done)].
Firmware has two parts:
1. FS: It contains languages, images, sounds, animations, settings, etc. Anything that isn't pure software.
2. Main: It contains the software.
Note: MAIN and FS HAVE to be the same software version
MAIN R1BC002
FS R1BC002
Customization has to be same region as FS, in this case
FS = EU5 (EUROPE_5)
Customization =CDA102338/50 ( EUROPE_5 Sunrise Switzerland)
Have a nice day
So, if I want to add Dutch language to my W580i (which is already unlocked) which files should I download to flash it?
Or is it more easy to add it without flashing?
I've read about it on the forum, but it seems more easy to me to flash the phone.
Look here for language Top Sony - Languages DescriptionQuote:

If I look through all those folders I can find the FS for Europe 3, but not the Main.
What CID your phone have?
The best way is to connect your phone to xs++ and copy here your phones log without IMEI number.
Have a nice day
I tried to connect with XS++ 3.2 on two pc's (both Vista) and always get the error that it can't connect.
I did everything right I think. I've removed the battery, repplaced it, clicked Connect, hold C while connecting the cable. The phone starts, but XS++ can't connect.
Try to take the batter out and back in again. I got around with the error by doing that my own.
And don't use 3.2 - use XS++3.1 Darwin (this is last stabile version) - 3.2 version is beta
Now I use xs++ 3.1 . When I trie to connect while pressing C, nothing happens.
I found something about pressing buttons 2 and 5 to connect.
What's the difference?
When I do it with those buttons, it does connect, but I get this log file:

CUSTPACK: HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_12_R8A_GENERIC_EUROPE_3
And do you think this is the easiest way to add a language or is it more easy to add only the language files?
I suppose text messages etc. will be removed when I flash the phone?
Do I need to add the Custpack files one by one using FSX or can I upload it all together?
I still don't have access to the downloads, so I have to wait.
How to get access to Download Area?
Have a nice day
I've requested access some days ago, but didn't get any confirmation yet.
Then you should wait, because process is not automated.
Have a nice day
I flashed the phone with the files suggested here, also with the custpack. Everything went like it should.
The phone is Europe 3 now, but when I start it up I get "insert correct sim card".
I did a long search on the forum, but it didn't help me.

It took me some time, but my phone is unlocked now.
I used this tutorial:
http://www.topsony.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6329
Why was it locked after flashing main, fs and custpack ?
There are no simlocks in Belgium.
Thanks to everyone who helped me.
i think your phone is not from belgium, may be it was import from other contries and for use in belgium it is unlock by the dealer or from the one whom you bought. that might be the reason why it is lock after flashing as it is fresh after flashing. hope you understand what i mean. have a nice day.
Oh ok. It does come from an other country, it's from the UK. The shop sold me an unlocked phone from the Orange provider.
So there's something inside the phone for Orange SIMs only that you can't just overwrite by flashing main and fs?
I'm glad my phone works now.

Thanks, but it's ok now. I already patched it and all problems are solved.
I'm just interested how it works.
he he me too, have a nice day then
Hi all,
Today, I succesfully changed the region/language of my SE Z530i, and now I have Dutch, German and Danish too (EU3, I needed the Dutch T9 :p) !
I've used XS++ 3.2, but I'm wondering about one thing:
I read in the tutorial that the MAIN and FS Firmware have to be the same. I only flashed the FS Firmware (and own_custpack ofcourse), but not the MAIN firmware.
The phone seems to work fine, but could this cause some problems in the future, or is the MAIN firmware unimportant in this case ?
Thanks !
Greetz,

Today I tried to turn on my phone but nothing happened. No lights, no vibration, nothing.
I can connect with XS++.
It's a week ago since I've flashed it, can this be the cause? It worked fine untill today.
I've just flashed and unlocked my phone again and it works now.
I'm just worried it will occure again. What can be the reason?
