now after flashing I got a message saying configeration error please contact your service provider or service, so obviously I'v used the wrong file somwhere. so I thought that running the update service would correct the error but has done nothing other than give me a new problem with the EROM now being CID53! with details as follows:- oh dear

The set has been branded with orange UK and all I wanted was to debrand. Can anyone help, Please?

[hyperion17]

Since you upgraded to CID53, you can't unlock for free; you can only debrand using FAR and JDFlasher.

[Dervmonste]

Well unlock is not important but how do I restore the phone so it can work again?

[Dervmonste]

Thanks for that but will I be able to restore the phone so It can be used again, unlock is not important?

ok I'v downed the jar software and going to spend some time learning it before I take the plunge into the rabbit hole lol. any pointers and help would be greatly apprecieated. also dos any one know ehat the correct files are that I should use, I payed with p.pal so no problem downing them off the site, thanks again!

[Dervmonste]

Ok thanks for the link and if I'd read it first I woulden have made the last post, but any way I'v flashed the phone but still when it turnes on it gives a "configeration error please contact service provider or service" I have checked the files I'm using and to the best of my abillity they seem correct. I have used the procedure to flash a second time but still I get the configeration error I'm lost any ideas hyperion?

[hyperion17]

Did you copy the right custom file into "tpa/preset/custom " folder from your phone?

[Dervmonste]

As far as I know but they are confusing, these are the 3 files I used:-

W580_R8BE001_MAIN_ORANGE_LA_RED53.mbn

W580_R8BE001_FS_ORANGE_GEN_RED53.fbn

W580i_CDA102774_18_R5A_Orange_United_Kingdom.zip
