Can you boot up into maintenance mode? If you can, I'd recommend trying to reinstall the OS from there. I'm pretty sure that maintenance mode doesn't need boot2 to work.

I did , but even erasing and formatting the system , I still throwing the system error , which is why I'm trying to use the USB RS232 adapter to install the boot2

This happens if you flash boot2 3.1 on a HW-J+ calc. Reflash the latest boot2 with RS232 (delete the old boot2 with the key combo I don't remember) and it'll boot again.
All tutorials show a clear warning message that you can get into this situation.

Just to be clear on what you did: what HW revision is your calc ?
It's the last character of the serial number on the back.

Over time, we've seen TI-Planet tutorial being "copy-pasted", and badly, as they removed crucial warning parts (for example, big red bold statements saying that revision J or later will not be compatible, and there are bricking possibilities).

If indeed you have a J+ HW Rev and you have a boot2 3.1, then you can't do anything about it on pure software indeed - go thank the people who badly copied stuff...
And yeah, maybe rs232 sending, I actually don't remember if that applies here, I'd guess so.

One more thing : are you able to go to the maintenance menu (if so, select option 2 and/or 4, then reinstall a proper OS)

From what I remember, if you have hw rev J and a 3.1 boot2, you can still fix it through RS232. I don't know exactly how, though.
