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

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!
