Help damaged tns files‏
« on: August 11, 2011, 09:52:09 pm »

I can not speak well in English but I will try
I have a problem with damaged tns files (the handheld can not open them) if any one can help me recover the data stored in these files, I contacted ti-cares and they did nothing for me

Like pianoman said, we need some more information first:

1. In what OS version were the files created?
2. Did you upgrade your calculator to a newer version?
3. Maybe you can upload the files, so someone here can check them

This problem starts to appear for me since I installed on my ti Nspire CAS Clickpad the version 3.0.2.1791  exactly May 25, just recently when I bought a TI-Nspire CX CAS equipped with the OS 3.0.2.1791 I found this problem
 we concluded:
1. All damaged files  contain Activities in these activities there are pages of the application table and lists
2.The files are created with version 3.0.2.1791
3.The files are created after the update of handhelds
4. files: http://www.4shared.com/file/wUoC6y6d/TNS_Files.html


 thank you to all for your attention

Have you tried opening them on the OS version (and possibly calculator) they were created on?

If you reduce the version number in the file header from 0500 to 0300, then they open fine in OS 1.7. It looks like it's only OS 2.0+ that crashes

Double-posting is bad ;)

You can use a hex editor, such as XVI32, WinHEX, KHexEdit, etc. At the very beginning of the file, you'll see the "TIMLP0500" text. Replace it by "TIMLP0300".

And you can find OS 1.7.2741 for example on TI-Bank, which redirects to TI's servers.

I would suggest using this to load OS 1.7, then open the file, copy down all the information, and put it back into a new file in OS 3.0.2

There's no way to get documents out of nspire_emu; it's meant for testing and debugging asm/C programs, not for doing things the computer software does.

Anyway, I managed to dump the XML of the documents, remove the offending tag (it was just the cursor location, nothing important), zip them back up, and re-save on my TI-Nspire with OS 2.0.1 (in order to encrypt them - 3.0 doesn't allow unencrypted documents any more). Here you go.
