Successful Debranding W580i

[BAGMAN]

I figured I would add my experiences with flashing the firmware of my Canadian W580i phone on Rogers. I started out a complete noob.

1. Do lots of research. I used topsony and SE-NSE Forums. There is tons of information out there and tons of people doing the same thing.
Follow this guide, its a good one:

Here is another great tutorial for using XS++

2. Download XS++ (for the free method).

3. Run the GDFS in XS++ (backup your firmware).

4. Find the firmware and custom files. this part took the longest, if you search hard enough, you will find them. I used this site (its up and down) and searched forums:

5. Follow this guide again:

It's that easy. The W580i was not in the customization part of XS++ v3.0 (now at v3.1), so i had to download a custom pack and move the files over myself. Still pretty easy, click and drag...


NOTE: If you get an error when you turn your phone on after flashing, you probably didn't apply the custom files. (dont worry i did it too)

Hit the Thanks button! :D
