If we could decrypt update zips, then we could try to do something..

I tried to XOR update files, similar thing - acer iconia update.zips were 'encrypted', but couldnt find the pattern. Most propably its not XORed.

I've also compared few encrypted sony update.zips - all of them have the same header in hex:

64 87 06 10 99 D6 CD 9F 7D E4 74 9A 93 B4 D4 AD ED 97 02 3E 0D 0A 7D 96 EA FE 
98 3E EE 9A 4C FE 1F FB D9 78 BA 86 5E 47 17 99 3B F8 71 85 3B 2F EF 2E E0 20 
77 E9

When you'll check normal unencrypted update.zip you will see that the same-lenght header is being repeated, the same for our unencrypted zip,:

50 4B 03 04 14 00 08 00 08 00 37 94 5C 38 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 
14 00 04 00 4D 45 54 41 2D 49 4E 46 2F 4D 41 4E 49 46 45 53 54 2E 4D 46 FE CA 
00 00

This is how we could try to decrypt files, find the pattern, the key to decrypt update zips. Anyone got some idea?

its the first time m stuck with a device in bootloop for so long (4 days) & still no solution

 

[sapphire88]

me too, anyway the exact model of my tablet is SGPT114IT/S , italian model 16gb 3g, if condi will try a way to unbootloop our device, i'm really gonna make some statue and a donation!

 

[xperiax10.awesome]

I am aware of following models (Singapore):

SGPT111SG/S - 16GB WiFi
SGPT112SG/S - 32GB WiFi
SGPT113SG/S - 16GB WiFi & 3G

EDIT:
at some places like (Italy & UK) the model SGPT114 is used fo 16GB WiFi & 3G

 

[sapphire88]

i don't know, maybe the 114IT/S has different gsm frequencies?

 

[xperiax10.awesome]

sent a msg to Mr. Dan, lets see if he can solve this mystery as well

 

[sapphire88]

and i'm going to make a prayer to saint peter..

EDIT: tried all the .zip attached to the first post, no luck at all, everytime the same error "Prohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku" before the bootloop i had the 3.2.1 r2 version, i've read somewhere that there is a 3.2.2 versione, who has it? can post his full .zip? (from the cache folder)

 

[SWFlyerUK]

I got my l ines mixed up, there's no 3.2.2 for this tablet. Sorry.

 

[sapphire88]

oh....well (not that well)...tomorrow i'm going to try to have my tablet changed in the store where i bought, one year ago i had the same problem with the galaxy tab and they changed it..it's passed a month since i bought it...let's hope it isn't too much..

 

[SWFlyerUK]

Would you please happen to have nbx03_003?

 

[ase3000]

Another finds guys!

-----------------------------------------
If anybody want to get his present firmware ota-zip then its very easy:

1) edit build.prop - change "ro.sony.build.incremental" value to some lower, few ones to zeros.
2) reboot your device,
3) 'available update' message will appear - click ok, download - wait for finish - but DONT click update!,
[/B]

@condi,
I've tried changing the ro.sony.build.incremental many times with different lower values but nothing works. Every time I run the update I get a message that I have the latest update.
Is there anything else I need to do??!!
I want to reflash original firmware as I have problem with camera.

Anyone got 3.2.1 Release 2? I bricked mine while trying to add init.d support and custom recovery (so we can have CWM). Thought the one I downloaded here, signed-nbx03_010-ota-0042.004, was the right one, but I am wrong. I did try all of the updates for 3.2.1r2, but keeping getting this error:

E:Prohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku
Installation aborted

 

[skoperst]

Can you PM your build.prop? mmcblk0p1 will be also useful.

 

[obicom]

I could only provid my 3.2.1R2 version downloaded in Germany.
The name (and the region?) is different.

nbx03_007-ota-0042.017.zip

By the way ... please let as know how far the development of cwm is?!
I was able to install init.d support and looking for the next steps how can I use it on a helpful way. Let me know if I can help on the one or the other way.

Unfortunately no. I am stuck in the bootanimation screen, and it seems that it is stopping just before /system is mounted. Therefore, adb won't recognize it. That would be good if I could, because then I could mod it, push, and fix...lol

I was affraid you were gonna say that...lol... As for CWM, I can boot into it using an update.zip, but can't do anything else. I'm having issues with the mounts (cannot mount any partition). For the init.d support, that is where your tweaks for smoothness, responsiveness, battery life, overclocking, etc. come into play.
If you want to take a look at some really good init.d tweaks for an SGS4G, click the Lightning Zap v4 VB Tweaks in my signature. Just don't try to install them as one of them will brick your device...lol...

My wife is going to take my tab back to the store and exchange it, well attempt to. She is going to blame it on an app from the market...lol

Will keep everyone posted...

Hi, try to update with any wrong-region update,then wait 2-3min and semi-working adb will be enabled. Then adb pull files from /tmp or /cache (dont remember which exactly one) and from recovery log file give me your region sku value. I will try to get proper file for you.

No, that didn't work either...

What didn't work? ADB will be available in recovery after 2-3min, give me SKU from log, and I should give you file for your region.

adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
adb pull /tmp/region.prop

Just pull this out after failed-update.
