40.2012.21-3.454.6 (Vietnam with preinstalled apps)to 40.2012.21-3.480.1 (Switzerland country variant) is a downgrade!

Well, at first, it probably does not help, but rather it will make your device unusable. it is possible you will not be able to boot anything on it, and not flash it any longer.

Second, it is almost impossible to do; to be able to have write access to some of those areas you need to be in Closed Mode as they are locked in Open Mode. However, in Closed Mode you cannot do it as Aegis will block you for lack of credentials.
(You might be able to break something permanently with Inception, though, if you really tried....)

I still think the best option is to use ubiboot, you should be able to boot Sailfish that way, there has to be something wrong with your SailfishOS installation.
