    W580i from AT&T to Europe_5 Firmware???

    Hey guys, just got this phone yesterday. I know there's a bunch of these on here already, but I'd just need you guys to answer and confirm the questions I have before I brick the phone.
    I'm switching from the modmymoto.com forums to over here and it seems to me that it is BY FAR much harder
    to mod an SE phone. I HEAVILY modded my SLVR, but I was still confused after researching this for 8 hours :confused:

    Here we go, if you guys don't mind:

    1) Can I flash a European FW onto my AT&T phone?

    2) I'd like to have the Europe_5 firmware, because it includes the all languages I need, but is this the right one for my W580i? "HB1_06_Gen_CDA102568_14_R5A_GENERIC_EUROPE_5. zip"
    It's confusing because it doesn't say W580 in it. Also, I read on topsony forums that the region and colour of my phone has to match the FW in order for it to work, but all the file names of the firmwares do not indicate any colour or region. By the way, I was not able to download any firmwares from this site since I assume that I'm a new member. Got that file from SE-NSE website.

    3) Where are the MAIN and FS files for this? Which ones would I have to look for?

    4) After I unbranded the phone, will I be able to do "seem-editing"? Those are variables that I can turn on/off certain features/functions on the phone, ex. reduce the brightness to less than the 50%, or assigning the camera with the function button.

    5) Is it right, that there's a bug with the light effects after usage of walkman? That yellow/green light stays after exiting walkman the 2nd time.

    6) Can SE phones brick like motorolas? GDFS was backed up. So I assume in case I flash the wrong FW, I can restore my phone to its old condition, correct?

    For MAIN and FS use google you will find everything! Your phone is CID52 and color RED! So if you want to debrand it you need MAIN GENERIC CID 52! And FS EUROPE 5 just search you will find!
