W580i - LCD or Battery or Firmware?

[hyperion17]

I would prefer not to uninstall the antivirus, unless as a last resort. Is there a workaround with XS 3.1?
When trying to "Move ggsemc.sys in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers" I already had a file with the same name so I did not replace it. Could this be the problem that IMEI is not appearing?

You don't have to uninstall the antivirus; eventually to disable it .
If XS++ shows a log, there' s no problem with USB flash driver. As for the message "Warning: IMEI name does not match GDFS name (IMEI:NULL GDFS:W580)", it won't show up after a succesfull flash with XS++.

Ok, I understand and agree Setool is not a virus. I only wanted to use XS 3.1 because it seemed to be the other option. However, in case I need to use both the programs that is okay for me.

With regard to flashing, is there Any chance of data loss?
I am completely new to flashing and the only basic introduction here is just not very insightful. Any other guides available?
I noticed another discussion on W580 flashing and I was wondering if I should follow any of the procedures there?

You need Setool only if you want to "patch" your phone.
Use this firmware:
W580_R8BE001_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52
W580_R8BE001_FS_S_ASIA_LEVAN_RED52 and the customization
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_110_R8A_GENERIC_S_ASIA_LEVAN
