SE w518a Issues:

Ok my friends, help me out a bit here.

I just upgraded my (beloved) w580i to the w518a (mostly as it has a better camera and I couldn't afford the Sony Cybershot, lol)

So here's the BIG problem - the blasted center button auto-connecting to MediaNet (which I NEVER use). I've yet to find very much info on the w518a. Feature and usage-wise, I'm fine with everything BUT this blasted Media Net. I contacted AT&T and they said it was an SE issue - contacted SE and (using an UNBRANDED version), they said the button to them straight to settings, so that it was *definitely* an AT&T branding issue. I'll be raising some hell with AT&T over this. My question is this: is there a way to change this without de-branding, or i that my only way to go, and if so, HOW do I go about unbranding it and locating the appropriate firmware?

I have checked with upper AT&T techs and they said that they are not aware of any way to change this, and did not know how to go about contacting the development (firmware) department. Going to attempt to contact upper echelon of AT&T Wireless regarding this issue as it *really* p**ses me off. If necessary, I will see if I can get them to give authorization to SE to provide me with an appropriate unbranded firmware. I'd rather not have to do this, but if they leave me no choice .... (and for those of you who think I can't get it done the "hard" way, lol, you don't know me).

I'll keep everyone posted on the progress, but if anyone knows of an easier way, I'd sure appreciate knowing about it

Unbranding is *not* my first choice - I remember the issues with unbranding the 580 - like turning IMs into data instead of text, etc. I'm also VERY irked at this 300k MP3 limitation. I went through a LOT today to get this phone, and I'm going to be even more ticked off if I find that the only thing this phone has over my 580 is the 3.2mpx camera vs the 2mpx. Not a happy camper at this point.

===========

I am waiting to hear from the developers at AT&T (yes, a message was sent to that dept).

In the meantime, I have seen that Ultimate Unlockers 4.01 indicates "Instant Full Unlock of DB3200 & DB3210 CID53 supported" and I have read that the w518a is a DB3200 CID53.

I have located several firmwares for the 518a -

W518a_1220-7732_R6A_ATT_USA
W518a_1220-7732_R7A_ATT_USA
W518a_1220-7732_R10A_ATT_USA
W518a_1220-7732_R12A_ATT_USA
W518a_1220-7732_R14A_ATT_USA

How can I tell which firmware is the appropriate one for my system?

Thanks!!!!

[DannyD]

Guys, need help with Far manager (JDFlasher), when i try to open oflash to flash my W660 (it has R8BB001 flash atm) with R8BE001 so i can unlock it, JDFlasher gives me this error...



Can someone help me? :eek::eek:

JDFlasher can read the mobile, but it can't open the oflash dir so i can flash it with main R8BE001.

I tried reflashing the mobile with SE program but with no luck, after it reflashed, JDFlasher still keep giving the same result... :(:eek::(

[Gigman]

Ok I fixed it myself. Used Far Manager+JD Flasher. F11 then connect using JD Flasher. Double click BFLASH and follow instructions. Asked me to remove battery 4 times and reconnect. After that it says to flash main first. I did. Then Flashed VKP file. Then hit .. until you get this: Warning Are you sure, Click Yes. Restarted phone and its was unlocked. I dont know why Setool2lite would not work but FAR did it after trial and error.

:p:rolleyes:

[bekkdor]

I have w850i .. and unlockeeeeeeed :))
thank youuuuu so muchhhhh :)

the last step (B. How to apply the generated patches to DB2020 CID52 phones) doesnt worked for me.. just with farmanager and jdflash :)
(sorry for my english..im hungarian)
