My understanding (I don't really want to try this as I've already got World Generic 1 ) is that you updated your phone so you have the firmware files on your pc, then replace the files in C:\\Program Files\\Sony Ericsson\\Update Service\\db\\13740270\\blob_fs with the ones from this rar file. Update the phone again which should add the World Generic 1 CDA line, then update once more to remove the old CDA and just have the new one Someone willing to try it and let us all know? If not I might borrow a friends and try it on theres!

I did it and it worked fine for me.

My phone was branded on O2 previously 162008/6
and now its the world generic 162007/1

It was a bit of a risk trying but I figured if it goes wrong just simply change the files back and do a reflash.

By the way
you don't just replace the files, you find the file that is 3xx bytes and the one that is 4xx bytes (there should only be two files) cut and paste them in a seperate folder called original.

Then you rename the downloaded files with the same name as the previous ones making sure that the file that is 3xx is the same name as the downloaded 3xx file (can't remember the size, I'm explaining from memory). place the newly named file into the blob_fs folder and hey presto your ready to update.

Make sure you back up personal details before flashing (most probably externally as opposed to using the back up facility(yknow bugs n stuff))

Whose brave enough to try it??? give feedback.

To find the size of the files that needed changing I used winrar to open the fs_blob folder.

Lol sounds just like the old windows upgrade trick where you fooled the upgrade into thinking you had the right version for upgrade by planting a fake file into c drive to get upgrade for free
