REMEMBER ALWAYS DO A BACKUP BEFORE DOWNGRADE
this guide is a mod of http://forums.se-nse.net/topi[....]ony-ericsson-satio-debranding/
Need this files: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6PKBIQCT
Mirror:DowngradeSatio.zip
1. Backup all your data
2. Start --> Run --> %programfiles%/Sony Ericsson/Update Service
3. Open the folder where you unzip this downgrade guide
4. delete DB folder
5. Open SE UPDATE SERVICE and force update.
6. While SEUS is downloading the necesary files, go to the folder db/13740270/blob_fs and locate the file about 370 bytes (384 in my case)
7. Rename the file inside the DOWNGRADE folder to match the file in blob_fs (remember that name, will need to delete later)
8. Once SEUS has complete the download and start the update(need to be fast with this, wait until start to update) copy the file of downgrade folder to the blob_fs folder, if you copy and overwrite the file before start the update will get an error message.
9. When SEUS finish, delete the file of step 7 (in the blob_fs folder) you notice that have a new file about 370 bytes
10. Rename the file inside the folder UPGRADE of your region to match the new file of step 9
11. Update using SEUS again and force update, when update begin (need to be faster again) copy the file of the step 10 to blob_fs folder
when finish turn on phone and check the version in: Setting --> Phone --> phone Management --> Device updates
If you follow all steps you get R1CA037, Install Helloox and update again to R2AK006
Edit:ZIP Fixed

in the step 7, use file inside UPGRADE folder for your region instead the file in DOWNGRADE folder.

1. open the folder %programfiles%/Sony Ericsson/Update Service in explorer
2. delete DB folder
3. Force update (you have R1CA037 firmware and seus will download R1CA037 files)
4. While SEUS is downloading the necesary files, go to the folder db/13740270/blob_fs and locate the file about 370 bytes
5. Rename the file inside the folder UPGRADE of your region to match the new file of step 3
6. once SEUS start update copy the renamed file of the UPGRADE folder to BLOB_FS (confirm overwrite)
when finish the update process, install helloox, use SEUS one more time to upgrade to R2AK006

I've successfully downgraded the Satio to 037 quite a few months ago but whenever I tried to get 006 with hack, hack just goes away. Anybody had success with 006 and hack enabled after April?

Thank U Sethdev!!!
Welcome back HeloOx!!!

First of all thanks for the guide. Downgraded and de-branded fine (after about 3 hours faffing).
However like a few people floating about of various Satio forums I cant seem to upgrade back to R2KA006 from the de-branded R1CA037 (western Europe) as SEUS wont allow me to. It says I have the latest firmware which is blatant lies!
Anyway I was hoping some kind chap will be able to point me in the right direction to upgrade back to normal R2KA006 (unbranded) so I can get back to my life (and work).
Its got to the point where I don't even care if its hacked as I sign all my apps anyway.
Cheers.

You do the guide again but instead of using the downgrade file, you use the branding file to whatever region you want.
Posted by monetical
SEUS is giving error it is showing you have latest software installed check this image this is what SESU saying..
Posted by Raafat
That means that your TA is corrupt and the only way to fix the phone is using paid software like SE-Tool, Omnius e.t.c
Posted by monetical
i tried by SE pc companion but it too gives strange error "try your internet connection"..... and AID 0004 problem cant use omnius and all ... last option now wll give it to SE service center,,

Thanks very much for the guide, BUT any idea how to solve this problem?
I downgraded fine and installed HelloOX2 fine.
Try to update to latest firmware again, SEUS says i already have the latest firmware. So i do the guide again but this time using the branding file from the upgrade folder (as mentioned earlier in this thread), the phone firmware upgrades to the latest firmware BUT now the phone is no longer hacked.
Can anyone please help?
EDIT: I downgraded and re-installed HelloOX2 then ran SEUS again. This time it said an update was available. Updated my phone and now i have latest firmware and Satio is still hacked! Thanks again for the guide

Hi guys...
I had the same problem that you had.
I could not update my phone again... Just because a false step.
Pay atention to this step:
9. When SEUS finish, delete the file of step 7 (in the blob_fs folder) you notice that have a new file about 370 bytes
You only should delete that file. do not copy the other file to the folder. Pay atention to what the steps say.
Ovewriting that file before you should do, and you could not update and say you have the lastest firmware!!!
Now i could update my phone and it is 100% ok.
Only left trying helloox 2.03 to see if it really works or not.
Thanks by tuturial.

hi there
does this method work for vivaz ? or vivaz pro ?
i want to downgrade my vivaz pro, so i can install hellox and then don't care about signed sis.
is it possible to install hellox on an older version, then upgrade and hellox still working ?
btw how can i customize my firmware ?, isn;t there any program that just installs on your phone the version of fw that you want ?

Although I tried once using the APAC-ANZ file and another time using the Central Asia file, both times I ended up with Spanish as the default language. Did I get a step wrongly?
