I think I just bit myself in the... W580i

[SaNdSuKkA]

What's the difference??

XS++ has been updated more recently I believe. Also, I get the impression it is much more widely used for flashing firmware. I think you will be able to get more help if you still have problems after using it. Try it out and post log SeaMonkey said

I'm in the process of doing this in xs++, however I noticed in the log that my OTP CID is 51, but my EROM CID is 52. Could this be causing the problem?

[Rogue7]

I was following the steps in the tutorial but noticed that the custom pack is quoted as being a k700. How did that happen? I didn't go any further than step IV. 2. at this tutorial XS++ 2.x Guide - Top Sony Forums because I'm afraid of what the log entails about the wrong recognition of my model nuumber.
And I definitely used the w580 files from this site.

@Rogue7
OTP CID is 51, but my EROM CID is 52. Could this be causing the problem?

No , your CID is 52 so you have correct files . Use XS++ for flashing and add MAIN & FS in
ADD section and CUSTPACK unpack and put folder "tpa" in XS folder "own custpack".
In XS++ in section customization select "own custpack" and when you have all this done press flash (that should be work)

[Rogue7]

Flashed it with XS++
Still giving me the same problem with the screen.

I did upload the Setool log (that's the first log in the first post)

[Rogue7]

I think I might have found the problem. Although I'm not sure how to fix it.
The XS++ log in post #15 shows the following line of code when I load my custom pack...

10:02:58| Custpack: AMERICA_2 (CDA102460/101) (K510)

I believe the custom pack is wrong because it states K510. However I have a W580.
When I looked up the K510 i found that it's native resolution is 128x160 pixels, but my W580's native resolution is 240x320 pixels. This might explain why my screen is distorted and stretched.

But I'm confused as to how to fix this. The custompack I used is straight from this site and is labeled w580. Is the custompack on this site wrong?

You didn't choose your phone in Setool ,stayed k510 so try change to your phone and upload custpack one more time.If that don'work you need one more time do full flash but this time be very carefully

I'm pretty sure I did. Even so, I did it again (in SEtool) making sure that w580 was selected, and I still have this screen problem. How does doing one more flash fix this? I've flashed this bugger at least 7 times now.
