[DEV] SBKDetect - detect your SBK version - Eee Pad Transformer Android Development

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.

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).

waiting for the linux version, thanks lfor this

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

I'll test as son as there is a Windows version. I've never done anything in NVflash, I got my transformer before the v1 sbk was known, so I rooted with the blobs and ADB...

CONGRATS on making XDA front page.

yeah, there has been some inconsistant results with the variable I was checking, use raymans SBKDetect v2 to confirm it, as it actually has a small stub encrypted with the v2 SBK to test.

[Q] Unable to Root New Asus Transformer

I tried using the method in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185104
Several questions:
I'm in the US and the box said Android US ... updated to build 8.6.5.9 Honeycomb 3.2
Does this mean I should use the US (8.6.5.9) v6.3 rootkit? What do TW, TB, and WW refer to? The box lists the letters WW after the wifi info... do I have WW or US?
I see people refer to B60, B70 sometimes being unable to root... where is this identification? My (Model?/Serial?) number begins with B80 . Does this mean I have model B80?
Regarding the details of my failure... I have the NVIDEA USB drivers installed, and when running the script, I DO confirm ADB is running -- it sees and reports my device. However pressing 1, which is supposed to upload a bootloader and then backup my image fails immediately... the nvflash command fails.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I have a model B80 which is unrootable?
Any help, links or pointers would be greatly appreciated. (BTW, rooting my HTC Incredible was extremely fast and painless... was hoping for a similar experience)
EDIT: Forgot to mention, I have USB debugging turned on
Well, it seems Asus started manufacturing their Transformers with some sort of "lock" beginning with production batches starting with serial N° B70. You claim that yours is B80, so its pretty likely that at this time you can't flash yours until someone comes with a solution.
For updates on this matter check androidroot.mobi site

[Q] Am i lock into 3.2?

some help is required please, i have had my old pad replaced due to a faulty switch and that was rooted etc. I now have a new pad that did an OTA update to Build Number HTJ85B.WW_epad-8.6.5.9-20110816 but i find it a little laggy. I want to root and put a custom rom on it but i can't seem to get it into APX mode to root it or get it to downgrade to 3.1 any ideas as to what i'm doing wrong.I've also read that i may be lock into 3.2 firmware so i can't downgrade even if i want. Help please.
I don't think you can downgrade anymore. You should be able to use NVFLash with the exception of some B70 and newer tab.
what is the beginning of your serial number?
the sn is b40kAS0136** so i should be ok as only b70 pads seem to be unrootable

[q] tf101 update? Razorclaw?

Hello there, I recently got a tf101 from a friend.(I am new to the device)
it's on v8.6.5.9 I checked for updates and it says none found, what.
I hear you can use razorclaw and root your device without a pc which is good because i believe connecting the divece to a pc is too much work.
How to update to a version supported by razorclaw, I tried usingthe app and it gives me a message saying I do not have the files needed. How to?

RazorClaw need .19 firmware (HC)
The firmware you need is not on Asus website but there's a 8.6.6.19 (originally for 3g model)
floating around that you could use

Not 3g model but is there a big difference?
and do you happen to know what thread I may find it on, I tried searching for it and so much irrelevant threads.
Nvm, got it. thnx.
Here's the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417006
the firmware is for a 3G model but will flash on a wifi only model.
The main thing is so you'll be able to use RazorClaw to root, install CWM
and can flash any rooted ROM you like up to the current ICS.
With a firmware that old you might have an SBKv1 tf
so another option is NVFlash if the above don't work.
(Serial # began with B60 or previous (some B70)) is nvflashable

SBK detect not working

I am trying to root my TF101 using this this tool. But in order to let it work is need to know the SBK version of my tablet. I found this tool to help me detect the SBK version but it is not working. I get a error when starting the program.
Does anyone know a other way I can find my SBK version? Or can I just try to flash it using a SBK version (or will this brick the tablet)?

Look at the serial number on the tablet itselfs charging port sticker, B6O and below (And some B7O) are SBK1, anything else is SBK2
you won't brick it using the wrong one, it just won't work if it's wrong

You can see SSN on our phone when you boot up ENG firmware just type urself to the editor.
Find the address mentioned and start typing from first 0 u will see the HEX changing and then verify it's correct and save

Can you check if your phone is being recognized as EDL maybe the drivers are installed wrong. I can verify that the files provided works 100% and you have to use left side type c of the Asus not the bottom.

SSN can be seen on the homepage of the mobile phone after flashing the ENG firmware, or on the packaging box of your mobile phone.
Asuskey4 software download link please
Thanks, @johnny886! Btw, can you change your post to "General" instead of "Question", and pin it to this forum so people would use it as a reference in the future?

My ROG5 is being shown in Device Manager as Qualcomm 9008. So I guess it has entered in EDL mode.

Could you reinstall the drivers I have faced issues like this before with other Qualcomm devices. Reinstall Qualcomm drivers it should work. And remember to install with disable signature enforcement.

Appreciate your response mate! I will try again after reinstalling QCOM drivers. Could you please share that driver you are using?
Also, my PC does NOT detect ROG5 when using the official USB-C on both end cable. I have to use another cable with USB in one end and USB-C in the other end. Do you think that might be an issue?

The asuskey4 should contain SSN and ISN then only it will unlock. Make sure it's there and how come you lost your IMEI I tried this for 2 separate devices and I didn't face any issue.
