my w580i

[w580idaddy]

Well I crossed a major hurdle I think. I did some researching and decided that if I was gonna mod my phone I would do so starting with XS++.

After downloading FAR I was reading that it was gonna be prompting me for information that I didnt currently know about my phone and that I would have to use XS++ or SEUS to find out. So I just went with XS++ anyhows.

Well after extracting the XS++ file program with a extractor and starting the application I attempted a connection with my phone. first try was a failure due to no usb drivers installed. second attempt gave me the following information.

22:26:33| TURN OFF PHONE!

...... good? bad? anyone know where to go from here?

my phone turns on and works properly so I would say it was a success....

I'm interrested in doing some more modding but I need to gain some more experience with XS++ a little more aswell as code.\

I'm using XS++3.1 and I was able to connect the phone using it and now know my FW ver.R7AC001. EROM 52/RED.

I haven't found any patches listed for a w580 with R7AC001. Do I need to upgrade/downgrade firmware to use patches? Why isn't there any patches for my firmware?

If I do have to upgrade/downgrade my firmware what is all envolved? I do understand that I will have to find the actual firmware and download it. will I have to convert my new firmware for XS++3.1 to use it? will I need add'l plugins for the XS++? I did however use XS++ to make what I think is a backup of what my phone which is in a file on my desktop label backup. The file in it is listed as my phone model and my IMEI as a bin extension file.

Can XS++ use this file the way it is to restore my phone if anything were to happen?

Sorry. im new at this.
