    Flash files for phones other than the W580i should be available at
    this website: http://topse.ru/files/ (You will need an account to
    download, use Google translator for English, downloads and signup will not work when using translator!)
    - Instructions
    1. Extract the RAR file you have just downloaded, inside you will
    find the following files:

    +
    +
    +
    +

    setool2lite.rar
    W580_CDA102568_7_R8A_GENERIC_C_ASIA.ZIP
    W580_R8BA024_FS_C_ASIA_RED52.fbn
    W580_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52.mbn

    Extract "setool2lite.rar" and leave the rest as is.


    2. Go into the directory in which you extract the file "setool2lite",
    and go into the "drivers" folder, there you will find another folder
    called "usb_flash_driver". Go into that and launch the installer
    that is contained in it, proceed as you read, nothing major will
    happen this is just a SE USB Flash driver for your phone.
    Once the installation is done proceed to the next step
    3. Go back to the directory in which you extracted "setool2lite"
    and launch the application "setool2lt.exe"
    4. In the application, you will need to select your phone model at
    the top, in this case it would be the SE W580i.
    5. Now in the box where it says "Files:" under the phone model
    you will need to add the following files:
    + W580_R8BA024_FS_C_ASIA_RED52.fbn
    + W580_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52.mbn
    6. In the box where it says "Misc files:" you will need to add the
    following file:
    + W580_CDA102568_7_R8A_GENERIC_C_ASIA.ZIP
    Now your screen should look like this:

    7. Once you have added the files into their appropriate positions
    you will need to attach your phone to your computer, by holding
    onto the "C" on your phone and then plugging in the USB cable.

    8. As a precautionary measure, make sure all the files are in their


    right placements and that your phone is detected as a "SEMC
    Flash Device" or something along those lines.
    9. Now you are ready to click "FLASH", DO NOT CLICK ANY
    OTHER BUTTONS BEFORE OR AFTER THIS PROCESS!
    This process should take about 5 minutes and you will be readily
    happy with this de-branded version of your phone!
