also, one other (off topic) q quickly, ive got all the drivers installed for my s500 and pc suite installed, my mate wants me to debrand (not to w580) his s500 at my house, do i need to put the pc suite cd in again and install his drivers too?
cheers

why to do it with davinci if you can do it for free with xs++ v3.1?
things you need:
- w580 firmware: FS and MAIN
- custom pack
- usbflash drivers(no need pc suite)
- xs++ v3.1

i know bout this method @tranced!
but i have not used it....... I bought a Davinci credit by mistake too, so have one spare. And if i can use that, id prefer it tbh!
Though if it absolutely CANNOT be done, then ill have to learn how to use XS.

well, i have never used this methods(davinci, wotan, etc), so i cant say whether they do it or not. though you could contact them and ask if they can.

i remember a couple of years ago with davinci you could select any firmware, as it had them all listed. Though now-a-days it only gives you ones for your phone, so thought it could be done.
any confirm this?

w580 has different hardware to s500 - radio and accelerometer. Flashing is possible, but these features will not function - although you will get flash themes.

Hi everyone, this is a noobie alert. Lol. I have a S500i and I also want to flash it to be a w580i. The thing is, I like the everchanging theme that comes with the s500. Will I lose this theme if I flash the software? |

Hi DonJuan,
I'm having trouble downloading the files that ranphi posted on rapidshare - I keep getting http 500 internal server errors? Do you have these files and would it be possible to send them to me?
Many thanks

In ranphi's instruction for flashing, he ha uploaded files called Dynamic Themes and Default upgrade xml file - when I now try to download them, I keep getting the message that I have exceeded my download limit even though I've not downloaded anything. Do you still have these files? |
