Thanks, I was getting bored of the AT&T menus. I followed these instructions and found the files from the AT&T forums, the only thing I miss is the ability to send IMs as text messages.

You say you found the files using the att forums. I haven't really been sure where to download the correct files for my w580i.

If anyone can provide a link, that would be stupendous!

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

Hit the Thanks button! :D

Where you find the custom pack? What's included in it?

All custom packs are in download area of TopSony.

Customization = Changing or replacing original content of the phone, like ringtones, wallpapers, icons, themes, that come with branded or unbranded phones. It's nothing more than first default configuring of the phone after flashing FS file. Usually the process is:
1. Writing customize.xml and server&java certificates in tpa/preset/custom in sonics folder to tpa/presest/custom folder in the phone's internal file system
2. When the phone starts after flashing, it parses that xml file, puts settings written in that xml into the phone's gdfs and works out certificates (some go to Trusted certificates, some got Java certificate etc)
If you open customize.xml you can change almost any initial settings like time zone, date, internet profiles etc.

Nice day

Hey everyone, i have tried doing this, and i got and

"Configuration Error. Please contact your network operator or Server Centre."

It was probably a bad flash, but i restored my o.g firmware from BACK UP and it still like that. Maybe at the point, where i was doing the CUSTPACK, things went wrong. SO WHERE DO i place to downloaded custpack?

Thanks

1. Connect your phone while holding down the “C” button.
2. After your XS++ successfully recognized your phone it will switch to the “Flash” tab automatically. Check “Flash Main Firmware”, “Flash File System” and “Customize File System”.
3. Choose your firmware and CDA, then press the “Flash” button.

Do this if the custpack you need is not implemented in XS++:
4. Download the custpack you need
5. Extract the files into the “own_custpack” folder in XS++
NOTE: Make sure that the first folder in own_custpack is “tpa”
6. Do steps 1. and 2.
7. Check “Customize file system”
8. Select “Own Custpack” in the “Select phone Model” dropdown menu
9. Press the “Flash” button

NOTE: Your phone will NOT work if you don’t customize the files system after flashing the FS. You will get an configuration error after trying to turn it on.

Nice day
