    Re: W580i reads as K700

    There is a difference in hardware and software,for example w580im have stereo fm radio and don't have infrared and that is the reason why exist different firmware for both phones.I never touch hardware before i check all options with software.I can tell you that i had phones that i couldn't fix without help of far,setool and A2 uploader,sometimes it is bad flash files and sometimes flashing stop with x tool but work with y tool so i use them all including SEUS.If all fail then i work with hardware.In your case i would try also with seus just to be shure that it is HW problem then check for water damaged,change display,flex and rehot reball flash chip as last option.I hope this will help you.

    Re: W580i reads as K700

    I have changed the cables with known working cables and display. I don't know what rehot reball flash chip means. Is it heating up a certain chip on the board to a certain temp? Since this phone is reading as k700 would it not make sense that someone did this before I got it? And, is that in the erom, rom, gdfs? Did someone cross flash this or flash with wrong erom or gdfs? I wish I knew where each file resided. Main is where? FS is where? GDFS is where? And would Omnius be able to repair this error?

    switch on your phone.
    press >*<<*<* button on your w580 .
    go to Service info -> Model info and check out the Software info too.

    Phone will not power up. That's why I was posting this.

    If i understand well your 1st post then you can switch on the phone and it stuck on SE logo?
    if it is correct then could be damaged gdfs or someone already tried to repair gdfs but didn't do that correctly so i think the same as riders4sia.
