    Question where do firmwares come from?

    I have noticed on many websites that you are able to download FS and MAIN files. my question is where do you guys get them from? i noticed there is an R8 for the w580i, but if you go to SE's site and you check for updates it doesn't find it. i am still on my R7, ATT firmware which i can't wait to get out of ASAP. so if it isn't a BIG secret where you get the files file i would be happy to know.

    thanks

    think people are able to use a full SE service kit to rip firmwares off their handsets.

    Firmware comes directly from SEMC. It has to be modified before you can use it with XS, SE Tool etc.
