Still no luck with adb.

UPDATE: So, since I couldn't get it to work, I just smashed it on a rock, took it back to the store and got a new one...

Stores where you are allow you to return broken products? How does that work exactly?

(unless you had some kind of insurance protection against any sort of damage?)

unlock network sim lock

So if I use condi's tool to flash a fw from this thread will I be able to unlock the sim network lock? If so will I need to edit the build prop?

 

[dantheman122]

Is there any way to change build.prop without root access so I can reflash the latest version?

Unfortunately NO ... build.prop is in /system folder and this is 'read only'.
Only with root you can change the permissions to read/write.

Bricked

I ended up bricking mine trying to install init.d support. I really need access to the proper region zip update to unbrick my device. The version number luckily is 1 in build.prop, before it got bricked, so I could proceed with a flash if I had the zip. My backup zip is gone and I can't access the internal memory where a backup was also copied to . Here's information about my device:

ro.build.description=nbx03_001-user 3.2.1 THMAS0042 0042.001

I would be so grateful if someone with the same region can provide me with a zip, preferably the newest one rooted. Thanks!

P.S. It must be a signed zip

 

[obicom]

The value '1' in build.prop didn't brick a device. Tio create a update zip for you, more information of your device are needed. What version is it? (16GB, WiFi only, 3G, 32 GB??)

Best should be to take a look on the backside of your tablet.
There is a exact version number like : SGPT111US/S (e.g. 16GB / WiFi)

signed-nbx03_001-ota-11000.001.zip (3.2) is kernel build 10.

Does anyone know what kernel build the following updates are?
signed-nbx03_001-ota-incremental-0035.001-from11000.001.zip (3.2->3.2.1 incremental)
signed-nbx03_001-ota-0035.001.zip (3.2.1)
signed-nbx03_001-ota-0042.001.zip (3.2.1)

Does anyone have an official 0035 or 0042 update with a rootable kernel build?

Do you think we can downgrade by flashing a older zip?

 

[quiqsilver]

Do you think we can downgrade by flashing a older zip?

It's possible that a downgrading exploit will be discovered, but flashing a lower version right now requires modifying ro.sony.build.incremental, for which you need root.

By the way, build version 0035 is 3.2.1, not 3.2 as the original post indicates (Sony/nbx03_001/nbx03:3.2.1/THMASU0035/0035.001:user/release-keys). The same goes for 0033.

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

The first time recovery gets this error, I will return that same error for the entire session. You have to reboot the device for it to re-check incremental.

 

[psxpetey]

does downgrading break wifi? I have root and im looking to flash the orginal firmware or 3.2 or 3.2.1 I know you have to modify build.prop incremental and vendor.prop incremental and then replace the update.zip when you download the update.

At the Moment there is Android 3.2 installed (no root)
