    w880i flashing

    Before you rage i have searched though hundreds of older posts on hundreds of other, and read through many solutions before i decided to make a new post.

    Heres my issue. I have a Sony Ericson W880i and all i want to do is install a few flash themes. It definitely supports flash themes as well before you ask.
    The phone was originally locked to one network and i went to a local store to get it unlocked. The guy there did this by flashing the software somehow (this was before i started reading up on all this stuff) so i know that the phone is flash-able.
    I read up and stated using xs++. now , i can connect to my phone easily, however it has the CID 53, which i guess is why i get the "your phone is not supported".
    Is there a way i can downgrade the the CID?
    Another problem i get is where xs++ asks for a file to "Flash Main Firmware" and "Flash File System" I have no idea where to obtain these files. ( I have looked).
    If it cant be done i understand and il stop trying. I'm not really up for buying anything either.
    I thankyou all in advance for any help you can give.
    I can upload some screen shots if it helps
    Thanks :)

    show us the log xs gave, yes CID can be downgrade with logs using the D-Ultimate unlocker, to be able to use flash themes, you must debrand it first and then use flash themes

    MAIN is the OS of the phone and FS is the file system i.e. files that were used in the phone.
