The edit I refer to is in the Sony executable, which should then allow you to reflash your 505 to V1.1.0.18040. After you're done that, you can use the PRSCustomizer. The reason for that is that the PRSCustomizer merges certain files it has, with the firmware on the device. It restricts itself to firmware versions it knows & it's not going to be safe to merge the files with other firmware versions in case there are differences.
