    Look here:

    SonyEricsson Hardware and Firmware Definitions!
    Look connect your phone to xs++ and copy here the xs++ log.
    We need to know more information about your phone, if we could help you.

    Nice day

    Flashing means:
    - Installing a new firmware/Filesystem/Custpack, on the phone.

    You can through flashing:
    -brand/debrand
    -install patches
    -replace drivers(display, sound, bluetooth, camera etc.)
    -modify some functions(ex: SMS storage)
    -repair phone if it has EROM or GDFS problems.

    Hope you understand.

    Happy New Year!

    Ok so how do I know what files I need to flash new firmware?

    Do I use these files:

    W580_R8BA024_FS_AMERICA_1_RED52.fbn

    Laura_i_CDA102774_20_R1A_Generic_Trade_USA.zip
    [zipped of course]

    Or These...

    W580_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52.mbn

    W580_R8BA024_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52.fbn
