You can try TILP but it is sometimes a PITA to get working. Never seen a new calc need an os install, maybe TI decided to save money by only flashing the boot pages.

TilP can handle OSes just fine. I strongly recommend going USB for it, since it's much faster. However, if you have a silverlink it's worth a try since they're a little easier to keep connected.

Was it actually new, or just new to you, and used?

Does it stay on there?  If you turn it off and turn it back on, is it still there?

Also what does it say?  Tho I'm guessing it's the screen from the del+battery trick..

It really doesn't matter. Either way, he'll still need to wait six or more minutes for it to validate.

Six minutes? 0.o  I've re-sent OSes and it takes about three seconds to validate...
(that with usb btw)

I'm guessing it takes longer when all that exists at the start is the boot, then?

Remember, you can only install 2.55MP, because you can't downgrade the boot code until you first install an OS.

So boot 1.03 goes through a longer, more complicated (and more secure I guess) process?  Fun...

You missed the news frenzy that resulted when we learned about 1.03? TI switched to 2048-bit RSA. The new signature is tacked onto the end of the 2.55MP image; it's been there this whole time. Also, they actually managed to write an even slower validation routine. They're rolling 1.03 out for the new school year. This move prompted an intense frenzy of research that resulted in us discovering how to reflash the boot code, thus completely negating the change.

Neither do I care about how many posts you have.
