This is your firmware R7AC001!
You have firmware in top sony download zone! :mad:

I would recommend you to censor you IMEI.

Your firmware is in the topsony download zone.

Actually "R7AC001" is not in the download area. This firmware version is very hard to find.

I have had many W580i with this firmware, since a get them from at&t... the only thing you need to do is FLASH: MAIN, FS, CDA(custom) with the firmware R8BE001_RED52 which is the latest.. then doing this you would be upgrading your phone to this firmware.. then if you want you can do a IDENTIFY and you will see your new firmware...

ITS TESTED I'VE DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES..... mine arrived with R7 and now is R8...
