My Ti Nspire Ndless OS dilemma
« on: November 05, 2014, 08:55:06 pm »
Currently, I am using Ti Nspire CX OS 3.2.0.1212. I want to have Ndless and I must either downgrade to OS 3.1 or upgrade to OS 3.6. If I downgrade, I lose some important features like linear graph, and possibly more buggy. If I upgrade, then there is no going back. Ndless 3.6 is not reboot proof, which means I must reinstall everytime. My friend isn't good at technology, I am doing this for him. This won't be good. However, I heard some OS 3.2 could do the Ndless 3.1. Is this true? Could I install Ndless 3.1?

What is your Revision Letter( The last letter of the serial number on the  back of the calculator)

Depending on it diffferent options are available. (like having both 3.6 and 3.1 at the same time :D

You can also Nlaunchy to not have to reinstall Ndless continuously on 3.6.

YEah I would use nLaunchy with OS 3.6 if you really need 3.2 and higher features. You most likely have an hardware old enough to support nLaunchy since you got OS 3.2.0.1212.

Why not? Even on HW >= J you can use NsNandMgr to delete the downgrade protection :)

If you've got HW < J you can install nLaunch to fix this. Works fine for me.

Nope, Ndless 3.1 is for OS 3.1.0.392 only.
