W580i reads as K700

I was trying to get this phone to start. It would not do anything but vibrate when power button pushed. So ID'd it as CID 53 and then flashed it with W580_R8BE001_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED53.mbn & W580_R8BE001_FS_AMERICA_1_RED53.fbn. It actually came on but would not go past the Se startup screen. Could not figure out why because I have never seen that happen before. So identified it again to see what the problem may be and found it was reading as a K700. I don't think I did that or if it can be done so any help would be appreciated. How do I get it back to W580i?

Was that phone working fine before flashing?check model under the battery w580i or w580im and flash with correct files.Sometimes it is gdfs problem but can be hardware problem also so start with flashing with correct files.

Re: W580i reads as K700

these are also hardware issues, if flashing doesn't help then try replacing the keyboard, flex ribbon (both) and LCD

@ satch12343 No the phone was not working before. I am trying to fix it. Already Changed all the cables because before it would not even come on or light up. It comes on and lights up the LCD but its does nothing past the Sony Ericsson emblem start screen. It never gets to where you see the software config progress bar. I don't use Omnius to flash with only to read with. I use FAR Manager. Use to use Setool2lite but FAR has less issues and works for CID 53. I have not paid for a license yet. I should have paid for one before the one year special ran out but I didn't know about it until yesterday. I have a bunch of phones (w550i, w600i, w580i, w760) to fix with Omnius but I have to get them all ready before I start the month license. What is the difference between 580i and 580im?

Re: W580i reads as K700

There is a difference in hardware and software,for example w580im have stereo fm radio and don't have infrared and that is the reason why exist different firmware for both phones.I never touch hardware before i check all options with software.I can tell you that i had phones that i couldn't fix without help of far,setool and A2 uploader,sometimes it is bad flash files and sometimes flashing stop with x tool but work with y tool so i use them all including SEUS.If all fail then i work with hardware.In your case i would try also with seus just to be shure that it is HW problem then check for water damaged,change display,flex and rehot reball flash chip as last option.I hope this will help you.

Re: W580i reads as K700

I have changed the cables with known working cables and display. I don't know what rehot reball flash chip means. Is it heating up a certain chip on the board to a certain temp? Since this phone is reading as k700 would it not make sense that someone did this before I got it? And, is that in the erom, rom, gdfs? Did someone cross flash this or flash with wrong erom or gdfs? I wish I knew where each file resided. Main is where? FS is where? GDFS is where? And would Omnius be able to repair this error?

Re: W580i reads as K700

if it doesn't help after replacing the display, cables etc, then you should try GDFS as a last resort.

If i understand well your 1st post then you can switch on the phone and it stuck on SE logo?
if it is correct then could be damaged gdfs or someone already tried to repair gdfs but didn't do that correctly so i think the same as riders4sia.

@Gigman,
on your first post : It actually came on but would not go past the Se startup screen.
then it should work on your mobile.
press >*<<*<* button on your w580.
go to Service info -> Model info and check out the Software info too.

or identify your w580 phone by XS++ v3.1 and post the log.

Re: W580i reads as K700

@Gigman you can't use keyboard on not working phone.Rebuild gdfs and unlock by reset.

Re: W580i reads as K700

@Gigman:
holding "C" button connects the phone using phone's EROM.
as your phone is CID53 it is not possible to repair your erom.if you get erom for CID53 then you can do it by jdflasher.

1st Do this to make your phone support for Setool2lite.
i don't think it is now free.Thread: Now SE CID53 convert into CID52 Totally Freeeee.. with OMNIUS SERVER

2nd Setool2lite support under CID53.
