Hello,
First thing you need to have SEUS installed follow this link if you do not have it -> SEUS
Second thing you need to download this : U5_Debranding --- This is from another topic on this forum which is not active anymore!
Ok, now that you have all of the above lets get started:
1. After you install SEUS go to C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service and delete the db folder.
2. Start SEUS and update your phone(if it tells you that you already have the latest FW, just reinstall it)
3. After the update is finished unplug your phone close the SEUS and go to C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs and search for a file that has 360 - 380 bytes and named like "FILE_277349964" Ex: http://i247.photobuc...ri/Debrand1.jpg
This file has different names and sizes depending on your phones FW, so it is not standard(but the size MUST BE between 360 - 380 bytes)!!!!!
Leave this folder open and advance to step 4.
4. Extract from the U5_debranding.zip the file that suits your country/language preferences as it follows:

Now rename the file extracted with the exact name of the file found at step "3", for example, if you want "Adriatic_Generic.bin" -> "FILE_277349964"
ATTENTION: YOU NEED TO RENAME THE FILE "Adriatic_Generic.bin" INCLUDING THE EXTENSION ".bin" to "FILE_277349964"
5. Now delete the folder "db" in C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\ and start SEUS(just start it and let it update itself till he gets to the page of agreement), do not close SEUS and go to C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs and leave this folder open(by this time the file you found at step "3" should not be there).
6. While the folder C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs is open start updating the phone. After you click install it begins to download the FW, at the exact moment that the download is finished quickly replace the file "FILE_277349964" with the one renamed from the archive!
Screen of the moment of replacement : http://i247.photobuc.../Debranding.jpg (after the update process downloads the FW it does not quickly start the actual update of the phone, it checks the files and that takes around 10 seconds)
7. After the update finishes, start the phone w8 for a while, and it will start telling you that the settings are incorrect, that is perfect.
8. Go to C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\ delete the "db" folder, start the SEUS, update the phone and this is all.
