Hey, I just got my w580i a few days ago and I was wondering if it was capable of using flash menus since its branded by AT&T, or do I have to debrand first?
And if so is there any tuts for it on Far?

i hav tutorial for flash in w580
YouTube - Sony ericsson w580 Boulevard Black Flash menu temas themes
orkut - login
thanks, but it still doesn't show how to do it, just shows various flahs themese...
nvm, just debranded and now using Far, but when i'm in the FS folder what am i suppose to do to put flash themes in it?
:confused:
Iīm from Brazil, i was reading this topic, after trying my first firmware flashing with the files:
W580_R6BC002_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52.fbn
W580_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52.mbn
I used X++ for this.
Used no Custom packages, just trying to debrand.
Now every time i try to turn on the phone with my GSM chip on, it shows an error message: Configuration Error, contact the operator or service provider.
Have i done something wrong?
If anyone reads this message, would please shares the file from TopSony:
W580_R6BC002_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52
W580i_CDA102774_114_R4A_Claro_Brazil
I donīt have a month on TopSony yet, so i cannot download the files.
If someone could help, i thank in advance.
Regards.
@VaZe there are many tutorials on putting up flash themes, just have a look around
@samxamkill You need to finalize your phone (upload a custpack to your phone) after flashing the FS or you'll get the Configuration Error
A custpack is something like the file
W580i_CDA102774_114_R4A_Claro_Brazil
i found on the download section?
if it is, i canīt download... I donīt have the enough days signed on Topsony yet...
If you do so, would you please send the file to my e-mail? samxamkill@hotmail.com. Or any other way share the file?
If it has nothing to do with the file above, how do i do finalize? Tryied do find tutorials on the net, but all only got me here so far.
Thanks.

That's a custpack, right. But it's a branded one. You should look for something called like Generic_trade_Brazil.
There is an extra forum for tutorials on TopSony.
hmm, after I tryed to flash my phone i had the same problem as samxamkill.
I used XS++ to debrand it with both cutspack:
W580_R6BC002_FS_AMERICA_1_RED52
W580_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52
It worked fine in the end, so I went to the next step and used Far to get flash menus. I got into the FS folder in far, but now i didn't know what to do, because i got the flash themes but i couldn't put it inside. So I then closed far, opened my cell, didn't have the at&t logo starting and then led to that message saying to contact my service provider etc.
After getting into FAR
Now choose FS (this is the place where you customize all the stuff like icons, menus, sound, cam driver, etc).
For custom menus go here: /tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash
For audio drivers: ifs/settings/acoustic/
For replacing camdriver: /ifs/settings/camera/camdriver0.dat
For adding new photo frames: tpa/preset/system/multimedia/pe/
Copy from PC to phone - F5
Delete from Phone -F8
NOTE: Remember the file name of the flash menus that you have uploaded, because later you need to make themes based on them!
When you finish with this, Just go back to root (click ‘..’ all the time) until FAR asks to EXIT CSFS loader, choose YES.
Then just exit FAR-manager. Disconnect cable and remove your battery for 5secs

I flashed my phone, working fine. Just canīt enter the FPS or FLASH on the Far Manager. Appears a red window with some script error... Does anyone have any ideas? Have already upgraded my usb drivers, uninstalled Far, reinstalled, got the latest plugin for Far to connect to SE but still the same prob... Anyone had the same prob. before?
Txs.
which settings did you use to "enter the matrix"?
db2020_cid52 was the setting i used, and it worked
the same as you did. I can see the FLASH and FPS but when trying to open any one of the mobile folders through the FAR appears the message error
If someone could help, i thank in advance
I have hit a little problem with choosing a CDA/Custpack from the download area of Custpacks W580i.
Q1. Can I just pick any generic one? Do I have to worry about the CDA number?
All I want to do is have flash menu. I believe my phone is not branded as it is UK O2 hence I am not flashing the firmware nor FS.
Q2. Am I wrong with this assumption?
Q3. What's an EROM?
This is a great site, but is there a noob/dummies guide in 1? Most information is spread everywhere and my head is exploding :<
Thanks in advanced.

@samxkill
read this using far+sepf with a db2012 db2020 phone (guide) - Top Sony Forums
maybe u installed something wrong with far, in the wrong way i mean..
you don't even need to use a cust pack just edit the customize.xml and do a full reset of your phone you can debrand it like that
how did u guys get to connect ur w580is to far
mine syas its not supported?
lol... thanks, i was going to make the same question for the video i saw on youtube, thabks for your help:D
i have a problem with flash menus ...;/ i don't know why, but some options doesn't work (for example PlayNow, or Fitness) with normal menus it's ok.
@DarkAzriel Are your directions for loading flash themes onto the W580i?
That's a custpack, right. But it's a branded one. You should look for something called like Generic_trade_Brazil.
