I flashed my phone…..

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feeds. Thanks for reading... :)

Most of my friends know that I love sony ericsson phones… I bought this amazing SE w580i phone 3 months back…. Since W580i is new i was not able to download new themes, applications etc…

I thought of flashing my phone… Did a quick google search and i ended up with few good sites that can taught me how to flash my phone

  1.  www.topsony.com

Within 2 days I gathered enough information to flash my phone.. Oh!! yeah.. I forgot to mention.. Flashing a phone means customizing the firmware(Software) which is installed in the phone.

I managed to remove Airtel operator logo (Airtel text) from my phone’s desktop, move the date to left etc etc… You wont find these options in phone menu.

I installed W800i accoustics .. meaning… i was able to increase my walkman player’s loudness.. and add thump/more bass to it :-)

This is how the original w580i desktop looks (Lasyk Networks is the operator logo)

Original

This is how my phone looks (excuse me for the dull pic.. I took it with my webcam :-))

Mine

(AIRTEL operator logo missing)

You can change many settings if you are ready to risk :-).. Tweaks include changing font, adding a new operator logo, changing standby clock etc etc.

Contact me if you need any help for flashing your phone.

Warning : flashing without knowledge can damage your phone beyond recover :-)

Bhai, i’ve a SE K750i phone, and i would like to flash it( i’ll be happy if i can do something with the modem capabilities in the phone )
Nope Renjith! I don’t think there is a hack available for modem.. available hacks are install w700i software, acoustics to increase volume etc
What do you mean exactly by “flash” a phone? Sorry.
