Actually I know how to use nvflash but communication between tablet and nvflash is secured by secure boot key (sbk, --sbk parameter). We need to know that. Only way to get sbk , Find a sony tablet s developer and ask him/her for sbk and make a black deal.
Is it the same for all tablets or does every tablet have a different key? And if anyone asks him/her also ask how to enter APX without deleting the bootloader...

All the tablets' (except 3g versions(maybe 3g is also same)) sbk should be same. We can get some guns and break into Sony maybe.
And you don't need to delete bootloader to access apx mode. Remember, The meme is wrong. ;) @CoolApps

Now hard-bricking your device is a good thing? XD

Ive made a little progress using wheelie. I wouldnt call it progress at all really, but got something other than just the nv error in nvflash. Using wheelie it will also give me this:


C:\>wheelie --sbkv2 --bl ebtblob.bin --bct gtablet.bct --odm 0x300d8011
Wheelie 0.1 - Preflight for nvflash.
Copyright (c) 2011-2012 androidroot.mobi
========================================

Using SBK type 2.
Using bootloader: 'ebtblob.bin'.
Using BCT: 'gtablet.bct'.
----------------------------------------

[=] Chip UID: 0x310871825619870615
[-] Incorrect SBK or SBK type selected. nverror: 0x4.

The Chip UID stays the same no matter what I change, so Im pretty sure its mine. Ive gotten another number as well in the early stages of using wheelie, but i cannot get it to give it back to me no matter what i do. I'm not sure if it gave me that number because of file I used or what. But here it is any way.:

Chip UID: 0x450704740bfe397

Ive read that back in the days you were able to get the sbk out of the acer tablets using the uid number with some formula. That formula wont work on this UID because it requires splitting it in to 4 sections. It is a 18 digit number and cannot be split in to 4. So, thats where I'm stuck.
Just thought I post it here, dont know where else to post it. Thanks.

I had a choice between this tab and the Galaxy Tab 3, beginning to regret my choice...

So I followed the process on http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

I got sent an unlock code but I get no response from fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x<I inserted the KEY>. It is 16 digits

In fact I can't get my device to boot in fastboot mode. I've tried apps, I've tried the holding down buttons and inserting into USB but nothing works so far.

Anybody have any further ideas?

If accessing Fastboot was that easy, then the device would be unlocked like over a year ago. :/

Interesting, I wonder how Sony got in and written the file system...

They have got replaceble memory modules. They can reflash the whole system or there is nvflash apx interface..
