hehe no begging...
guys I just followed the same P990 instructions, exactly the same, u need to change only 2 files in ur blob folder that can be determined using the hex editor program just as described in the P990 link.
Then I updated, it doesnt download anything, it simply updates ur P1, u get 2 CDA lines the /1 then my old /66
U run the SEUS again, now it downloads new files those of the WG1 and then updates ur phone and voila I only have now one line which is the following: CDA 162022/1 R6E29

I had the /66 i think its spanish, dunno why though I have bought it from Lebanon and usually we have the WG1.
Now back to normal
Cheers.

@ cadcad

m8 i would appreciate it if u would elaborate more as to which files need changing exactly. I changed the CDA string on my P990i no problems, but that was easier cause i knew which files to change

The process requires replacing two specific files in a folder named blob_fs which is located in SEUS installation folder.

System Requirements

* XVI32 Hex Editor (http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm)
* Sony Ericsson Update Service software
* DCU-60 USB Cable

The Steps

* 1. Install SEUS, back-up phone data and fully-charge phone
* 2. Update (or force update) P1i firmware to its latest (1st update)
* 3. Download and extract P1i.rar from here
http://rapidshare.com/files/48693772/P1i.zip.html
* 4. Determine the files to be replaced in blob_fs folder
* 5. Rename two files from downloaded archive (step #3)
* 6. Replace two files in blob_fs folder with files contained in the extracted archive (step #3)
* 7. Force update P1i firmware (2nd update)
* 8. Finally, force update P1i firmware again (3rd update, now for the new firmware)

How To Determine The Files To Be Replaced (the tricky part):
Two files are needed to be replaced in the blob_fs folder. But the names and size of these files differ from one firmware to the other.

In my old blob_fs folder, I sorted the files by size and I had like 11 1k files...
Now you'll have to compare them to the P1i WG1 downloaded files which are also of a 1k but of a number of 8.
I had 6 identical files by name and 2 that I couldn't find in the blob_fs folder...
To identify these 2 files, I had to use the XVI32 Hex Editor.
Now you should forget about the 6 identical files to be able to determine the exact files to be replaced in the blob_fs folder and in my case there were 5 files left. (11-6=5)
First go to the P1i WG1 folder and open the first file (of the 2 left) with the editor and write down the first 12 bytes of the file, they should look like this:
E3 4C 88 75 FB 5E CC C0 FD 57 E4 70 (not exactly like this line just an example)

Do the same for the second file...

Now go to the blob_fs folder and begin checking the 5 left files one by one with the hex editor program... 2 out of 5 will have the same line respectively like the 2 left files in P1i extracted folder. (Note that in some CDAs it has been found the the last 2 bytes are being different but consecutive. Ex: E5 instead of E4 in the 11th byte)
Once determined, rename them in the P1i folder just like they are in the blob_fs folder respectively then select all 8 files copy, paste and replace them in the blob_fs folder...

This is it, you'll have to update ur P1i twice after that...
after the first update you'll have 2 CDA lines. (Just an update, it doesn't download anything).
Now run SEUS again, it'll go through the whole download and update progress, this way you'll have the WG1 CDA...

P.S: U can back up your blob_fs folder before messing with it just in case you want to go back to ur old CDA.

In case you need anything, just let me know...
Good luck.
