Guide Starts :

0. Install SEUS ! Reason >> It install all the required drivers for flashing !! which will be used by XS++ !! After Installation of SEUS. Don’t update your phone with SEUS !! It will get updated to CID53 and hence no support for XS++ !

Backing up the GDFS is something which necessarily has to be done when flashing firmware, it is a very good way to ensure you don’t damage your phone beyond repair.

Flashing The Main and FS !

Now the real flashing
Turn off your phone. Start XS++ . Select USB…Reinsert battery.
Click on connect in XS++ and then holding C ( as in SEUS update ) connect your phone to

the USB cable ( with in 30 seconds )
it gets detected then release the C key
The left screen will display your phone details including your firmware version

EROM CID should be CID52. OTP CID should be 51 or 52 . ( Your Phone Must satisfy this condition for flashing )

Click ‘ .…’ and select the firmware file W580_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52.mbn

Check FS option and select appropriate FS again…

( keep other options unchecked)

hit the flash button and relax !! it will show finished after loading
when done disconnect phone……!!

Don’t try to start your phone , we are not yet done ! Customization is Must



Customization or CDA Installation

First download the custpack

connect phone.

unzip the customization pack ( use the cust pack which goes with the FS of your choice or create one which is very easy )
you will find a folder named “tpa” in it
now in xs++ directory on PC, in the directory where u have xs++.exe create a new folder named “own_custpack”

copy the “tpa” folder into this “own_custpack” folder the path of custom files should be like own_custpack/tpa/preset/custom…

open xs++ and connect fone check only customize file system

now under phone model select ‘Own Custpack’
under CDA and Region, select ‘/own_custpack’

now hit flash…
now in few seconds custom files will be added to your phone and done
Reinsert battery and Start your phone !! Wait for some time !!

Enjoy your W580i!!! :)

Information :

Radio won’t work because the phone does not have a radio tuner.. the phone just searches for stations !
