hello everyone, I just finish flashed my w580i everything went great, can't be any easier :-) I used setool2lite to do the flash with W580_R8BA024_MAIN_CHINA_LA_RED52 W580_R8BA024_FS_CHINA_RED52 and a Chinese customize.xml without any glitch. now only if I can get my hands on a French language pack then I'm all set...:-) and flashing didn't take long, only about 6 mins and then I went to Product support - - Sony Ericsson to get all the setting for the text msg and internet set done, this is the most easy part. after everything is set to the Rogers setting and that's it. now I can do all the things with the phone as I can before and plus now I also can use mp3, m4a format as my ringtones it's great. used it about a day now, haven't had any problem come up yet, can I'm hopping it stay that way. hehehe.... anyone also thinking of doing the flash to your phone, i can tell you it's not as scary as I thought it would be. it's fairly easy just follow the tut to the word and you'll be fine... wish you all the best luck flashing....;-)
