First you should look at this and download this program:

xs++

Then conect your phone to xs++ and copy here your phone log.

Nice day

you can debrand it you need xs++3.1 a main firmware in .mbn format fs(filesystem) firmware in .fbn format and a custpack,

Hi all, figure I'd introduce myself in this first post.
I am working on a w580i AT&T.
This is what I'm working with:

04:05:43| Baseband ID: 9900
04:05:43| Protocol Version: 3.1
04:05:43| Warning: IMEI name does not match GDFS name (IMEI:NULL GDFS:W580)
04:05:43| ...using GDFS name
04:05:43|
04:05:43| Profiling SEMC phone...
04:05:43| Platform: DB2020
04:05:43| OTP CID: 51
04:05:43| EROM CID: 52
04:05:43| EROM Color: Red
04:05:43| IMEI: 01127100xxxxxx
04:05:43| Phone ID: W580
04:05:43| Region: CINGULAR
04:05:43| CDA: CDA102774/102 R17A
04:05:43| Firmware Version: R7AC001
04:05:43| EROM: R3A022
04:05:43| Ready for operation!

This is what I tried doing to the phone using XS++ :

W580_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52.mbn

W580_R8BA024_FS_AMERICA_1_RED52.fbn

HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_106_R8A_GENERIC_AMERICA_1

Result? FUBAR!

I am assuming I need CDA102774/102.... right?

Also, why in the log does it say Firmware Version: R7AC001 ??
Did it not update to R8BA024 ??

What am I doing wrong here?

My main objective is to install something with a Polish language pack, and get rid of all the AT&T stuff on the phone.

Sorry for the noob questions, but I am kinda stuck at this point.

here's a stupid question, sorry new and trying to learn. I have a w580i, provider Rogers and from Canada, when i look up w580 CDA list my software code is CDA102774/87 R10A however the list only has CDA............../84 and /88. I don't see my serial /87. Again still trying to understand and figure this stuff out.

Looking forward to having download privileges.

Now see, I'm confused. I initially debranded my Att w580 with Wotan. Then because Wotan didn't have R8BA024 available, I used Setool2lite to reflash again. Then not happy (sue me, I'm compulsive) with the Asia firmware that I used with Setool2lite, I came here and used XS++ to flash W580_R8BA024_FS_AMERICA_1_RED52.fbn and the Laura_i_CDA102774_20_R1A_Generic_Trade_USA.zip custpack. Everything worked great.

My question is, why did I not need a main file to go with the .fbn file? (Not that I saw one to use anywhere) Thanks.
