    Unlocking and Flashing a W580i

    I just changed from a W810i to a new AT&T W580i. Now I want to unlock this phone but the phone firmware on this phone is R7AC001. R7AC001 is not in the download area and I can't find it anywhere so I am planing to flash it with the Main and FS for the RCA6001 that's in the download area. My question is, is there anywhere to keep the internet and text message settings on the phone after flashing it with a different Main and FS. I manage to unlock the W810 but never flash any of these phones before so I would appreciate any help I could get on this issue.

    Thanks in advance.

    No, you can`t keep internet and text message settings, because when you flash all is erased. But you can go to sony ericsson official page and there are all settings for all phones type ( mms, internet and sms settings ).

    Nice day

    Thanks, Jasmin.

    I was afraid of that. One more thing I am a little confused about is also flashing a customization or finalization. Is either of these two really necessary? If so, what else would I need to flash the phone with for the firmware I am going to use?

    Thanks!

    A customization is necessary to complete a firmware flash otherwise the phone will not boot. I have found XS++ to be a simple a easy program to use. Just google it and I'm sure you'll find the program.

    Then you must use America_1 generic as main and filesystem, too.
    Then it will work, yes.

    Nice day

    It`s ok, but why this older firmware, when you have newer ( R8BE001_RED52 ).

    Nice day

    I wasn't aware that was an older version. I will go with this one. Is this a good match?

    Thanks!
