Successful Debranding W580i

[Darknite10]

Ok, I need help.

I have reflashed the main firmware and file system...

But I don't know how to install the custom packs? Do I need to?

My phone gets the same configuration error when I boot it up as BCSbully...

Let me know as soon as possible....

Thanks,

OK SWEET! Got it to work.

But now I was wondering, is there any way to take off that crappy ROGERS name tag on the main screen? (the one with calls, menu).

Thanks,

Dan

I am new here. I have a sony w580i and wanting to use it with my t mobile, I went searching for unlock codes, which I got done, and now I wanted to get rid of the AT&T soI found I had to de brand it. Scary but after finding all the files that I needed, which took forever, and reading in full the tutorial, though it no longer has the screenshots are gone, so when they say refer to the shots I cant, I did everything step by step but my phone is not working, I read through the posts and saw that that I had to get a custom pack from another site, which I am not able to find. Can someone help me with getting my p hone to work again..
Thank you bunches

download it from here, and upload using XS++
iProTebe.cz - Sony Ericsson -> custom_files -> W580 -> Generic

Is there any other way to get a firmware for the US other than using this site and using wontanserver?

Does anyone have it that can send it to me?
