[DEV] SBKDetect - detect your SBK version

---

This application is under development at the moment and needs a few testers.

at the moment this is a mac only piece of software, but hopefully soon we (RaYmAn, myself and a few others) will have a linux/windows version.

usage is simple, "tar xvf sbkdetect.tar; ./sbkDetect" while your device is attached in APX mode. it should take a few seconds to run, paste the result back in this thread along with the first few digits of your serial number (eg: B5OKAS...)

detection may not be 100% at the moment, as I lack a new SBK device myself to test against. but SHOULD work.

Thanks to RaYmAn for discovering how to detect the difference between the two devices.

Device detected in APX mode and has v2 SBK.
SN: B8OKAS01

Seems to work just fine. I also tried it while not in APX mode and got an appropriate error.

serial B5OKAS

If by accurate you mean am I unable to root? That is correct. It appears my TF is a unit with the currently unknown SBK, that being V2 (I presume).

Thanks for this tool, waiting for the windows or linux version
