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

@ 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.

Great! Personally I feel using XS++ is a little quicker than the blob_fs way. It will be even faster with XS++ 2.1
Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES
