How to name a firmware?

[tuanlinh]

This might be the dump question but I ask for my firmware everywhere I can but nobody answer it so I have to find it myself.
I need w580i, R8BA024 firmware, APAC 1 (English, Vienamese, ... ) description of language, and CDA102774/102. They often make it R8BA024_APAC1_xxxx

About the CDA list, my CDA is CDA102774/102, and I DON'T find it in the CDA list. And if I find out, I don't know what with it. It should be the "xxxx" part in the name. I use AT&T in America. But I want to debrand it, so what CDA I need and what I have to take out from the CDA list to put in the name?? (they have the column Lenguaje and column Descripción)
By the way, is the way I name it right? Firmware_ Language_CDA?

R8BA024_APAC1_xxxx

The "xxxx" stands for the Colour and the CID in the download area.
Like this: R8BA024_APAC1_RED52 -->Colour:RED CID:52

Why are you looking for APAC? You should choose AMERICA 1 or 2 if you're living in America.

[tuanlinh]

oh, I see. The CID is the EROM CID right? So mine should be R8BA024_APAC1_RED52.
Sweet, everything make sense now. Thank you so much.
By the way, what CDA do? I know the definition. I just want to know what I have to do with that list b-)

I want APAC1 because I'm Vietnamese. I'm in America but I would like to have Vietnamese in that alos. Is that ok to have a firmware like that?

Oh, one things I forget, do you know the start and length of w580i? I want to use FAR to full backup the firmware, but I don't know the start and length.

as long as the cust file is the same. (ie supports the same languages)
if not you will get "configuration error"

[tuanlinh]

What is cust file? How can I know it's the same?

[mattsw810i]

link to cust files
Downloads - w580custpack - Top Sony Forums

needs to match the cda of the phone unless you change it (the cda).

If the cust file is looking for english and you didnt choose a fs that supports one with english then you will also get error.

is that a branded phone?

[tuanlinh]

Yes. It's AT&T phone. But it was unlock. My CDA is CDA102774/102. I don't find it in the list cust pack. if I want to debrand it, I think I have to use another Custpack, right? Or what I have to do? I'm kind of confuse now.
If I just flash the firmware with the same CDA, is this mean that I just update, not debrand? Can you teach me or give me the link to the guide. Thanks
Besides, do you know the start and length of w580i? I want to use FAR to full backup the firmware, but I don't know the start and length.
Thank you :D

Beside, in the download area, we only have FS_apact1. do you know anywhere I can find main_apact1?
What's the different anyway :D

You can use this one:

W580_R8BA024_FS_APAC_RED52 ( filesystem )
W580_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52 ( main )
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_101_R8A_GENERIC_APAC ( custom file )

All are in download section.

Thank you both.
What's the different between file system, main and custom? Which one is the best?
And I read the Making a Firmware's complete backup. But it said I need to know the start and length of my phone. Do you know the start and length of w580i?
