Debranding w580i CID53 help? -- Being honest here!

[mofoe2001`]

First off, I know somewhere on this board is a very simple guide to debranding the SE [US]w580i CID53 but unfortunately, I dont have to the time to search these boards seeing how im working 12hr shifts and can barely stay away after work to find this guide...Ive tried a little here and a little there but have yet to locate a guide on debranding my [US-AT&T]SE w580i CID53.

I usually spend my time on the internet at forums, I know all about the search function. but this forums is pretty big. Im not asking anyone to debrand my phone. All I ask is for some help getting a guide to debranding my phone, All I really want to do is put in some custom flash themes really.

again, I dont really have time to hunt this guide down. in fact, I have to go take a shower and get ready for bed, my back is killing me! god, im getting old.

In short, Anyone know of a guide to debranding my w580i CID53 using jdflasher?


Thanks so much



EDIT -- Is it true I have to unlock my phone in order to debrand it? please say it aint so!

Here's the tutorial: http://www.topsony.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11605.
Replace K810 firmware(MAIN, FS and custom file) with your W580 firmware(according to your language) and skip step nr.16(light effects). Good luck !
EDIT: No, you don't have to unlock in order to debrand, in fact you can't unlock for free, yet :)

Let me know if you guys need anything else.

[gaz3lle]

i don't know if we allowed to post links here, but there are a lot of walkthrough videos on youtube just search something like far manager tutorial

[mofoe2001`]

yea ive looked all over youtube. most of the debranding tutorials for the w850i are not CID53 versions.

Ok I managed to get my phone "debranded" I think

Here are the 3 files I used.

MAIN---W580_R8BE001_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED53.mbn
FS---W580_R6BC002_FS_AMERICA_2_RED53.fbn
CUSTOM---W580i_CDA102774_39_R5A_Cell_One_USA.zip


I still have AT&T on my main screen but there a different icons. NAPSTER icon...things like that. Was I sopposed to use an ASIAN custom pack?



EDIT -- I managed to get flash menu on my phone and set them up. Thing is, its kind of choppy and navigating thru the menus is slow.

[rahul4ya]

what software did u use ???

[mofoe2001`]

farmanager\jdflasher

[strizlow800]

Debranding your phone is flashing it with a generic (debranded) firmware files. Once you get those files, you should use jdflasher plugin for far manager (as it supports Cid53 flashing). :)
