If I debrand my w580i, will it lock my phone?

[tuanlinh]

AT&T give me a unlock code. My phone is unlock now. If I debrand, flash, update firmware (with XS++), play around with it, would it LOCK my phone again?
Beside, what's the different between debrand and flash and update firmware with XS++? I thought that to update firmware, we flash the phone. And when we flash it, that means we debrand it.
If it's different, somebody please give me the link to the guide to flash, debrand and update firmware so I can actually know what I'm doing.
Thanks

Your phone is unlocked forewer(the unlock code is equal with GDFS unlock).
debrand = flash non-branded firmware
update = flash newer version of same firmware
As you can see debranding, updatig and flashing are basicly the same.

Thank you. So now if I want to debrand + update + custom my phone, basically I just have to find the newest firmware which is non-branded and flash it, right?
And after that I can begin to put flash menu, animated themes, patch or whatever I want in, right?
And when I do that, it won't effect my new firmware at all, right? But if I update firmware after I did these thing, all of these thing will go, right?
By the way, I want I need w580i, R8BA024 firmware, APAC 1 description of language, and CDA102774/102. May somebody at least give me the name of the firmware (of course it would be better with the place to download it :D ) Thanks

Somebody answer me, please!!!

I know. But I don't know the name of the firmware. I need w580i, R8BA024 firmware, APAC 1 description of language, and CDA102774/102. They often make it R8BA024_APAC1_xxxx here or something like that. I need that name to search for it.
