Hi, there. I am looking for a simplifed Chinese firmware for my W518a. I want to flash the firmware to make my cell phone support Simplified Chinese writing language for Internet applications. There are so many firmwares here for it. I could not figure out which one I should choose. BTW, I do not know which software to use. Is there anybody can help me?

Thanks a lot.

w518: is that a branded version of the w508?

If so, do an identify of your phone with a2 uploader, and post the log here (that will help us to point out what firmware you need)

Yes, it is a updated version of w508. I got it from at&t as a free phone for family plan.

OK, but I think I have to study how to use the A2 uploader first...I am really a newbie here I will post the log later.

Thank you very much.

I am so sorry...I don't understand what you mean...

Do you mean that there is no such a firmware supporting Simplifed Chinese writing language because it is an att cell phone?

Thanks a lot.
