My PC is not recognizing my W580i whilst holding C

[Mojoe]

Please help!

After holding 'C' and plugging in my USB Cable to the phone, the PC will not even show the new device so I can install the Flash Drivers!

Any help will be appreciated.

you have to remove the battery for a few seconds (i push the power button a few times with the battery out), then, after replacing the battery, press and hold C. Apparently it needs a "hard reset"...

Thanks, but sorry it's still not working. Nothing shows on the phone or the computer.

im not sure where its going wrong for u... but im using setool2 lite 1.08... so for me... i take out the battery, sim and memory card..... wait... then put the battery back.... then i fire up setools2.... i click identify... and they give me 30 seconds to plug my phone in... so, while holding c, i plug the phone in... and keep holding until i start seeing some action....

i think if u just hold c and plug it in after a hard reset... without anything open (just... a windows desktop)... it doesn't seem to do anything, but somethign new shows up inside device manager...

If you can't even get it to install the USB drivers, try not holding the c button. For some reason (keep in mind i did this a very long time ago) i didn't hold the c botton and then it installs the usb drivers and stuff so you can see in the phone with My Computer. If I'm wrong, you can't go wrong by doing it with SEUS. Thats basically a fool proof method.

Easiest way to install the flash drivers is just by installing SEUS. After that, make sure you have the phone powered off and then hold down the "c" button while connecting the phone to the usb port. If that doesn't work the first time, remove the battery for a few seconds, and put it back in. Do not power on the phone, just hold down the "c" button and try connecting to the usb port again. It is important to hold the button while connecting.
