Post by: Scipi on September 12, 2010, 02:40:25 am
Hi I just joined. The site looks impressive!  ;D

Can someone email me the Nspire OS v 1.7? My email is [email protected]

Thx.

Hi and welcome here! I hope you enjoy your stay!

Unfortunately we cannot provide copies of the OS ourselves since it is against TI rules and could get us in trouble, but don't worry. For some reasons, Texas Instruments has left OS 1.7 on education.ti.com server, it is just not publicly visible in the downloads. This means we can give you a link to it. I do not have the direct link but TI-BANK downloads section links to the education.ti.com copies of OS 1.7, 2.0 and 2.1. Here's OS 1.7: http://education.ti.com/downloads/files/ti-nspire/TI-Nspire.tno

Not certain, but I believe there was a big stickied thread somewhere about this

Edit: ...Or maybe TI still hosts it on their site >.>

Yeah there is. I think I'll add a new thread soon, though, listing all OSes that are still available on TI website, so it is easier to find them. TI got rid of the download links on their site. But yeah, if you want OS 1.1, I cannot help you personally. Someone may send it but I will not hold responsible if anything happen to the OS sender or receiver for doing such thing.

Ah, that was it, os 1.1  I knew one of them had a big stickied topic :P

Thanks. That's why i asked for it to be emailed. But this works too. What happened is. I installed 2.1 and now when I go to boot. It freezes at the end. I found out from here that it's only with 2.1 so I just needed another OS. Thx.

Now than Im thinking about it. It's a good thing that happened. I love programming on the calc. So yes. I believe Im here to stay. ;D

Edit to say: I already got 1.1. I just need to be able to get to the GUI so I can run Nleashed.

Good to hear!  We love getting more programmers :D  You should post a topic in the Introduce Me section so we can give you some peanuts ;)

Edit: Hmm?  Isn't the point of Nleased to downgrade your OS to below 2.1?  Or am I thinking of something else?  (all these N names are starting to get confusing >.<)

Mhmm your OS error seems weird x.x. I wonder what could cause it. Hopefully someone who know can help you tomorrow

Yes Nleashed overrides the downgrade protection. (I really want that GBC emulator XD)
Title: Re: Nspire OS v. 1.7
Post by: _player1537 on September 12, 2010, 03:15:49 am
But from what I read, aren't you going to 1.7 so you can use Nleash to go to 1.1?  1.7 doesn't have that protection iirc

I think 2.1 does a BIOS update. So it's permanent.

Hmm, ok.  I haven't used it personally, so you are probably correct

It is not a "BIOS" update. There is no BIOS on the Nspire. It updates boot2, which resides in writable memory, and hence can be changed.

Once you updated to 2.1, the downgrade protection lasts forever, or until you install Nleash. To use the GBC emulator and Ndless, you absolutely need OS 1.1, though, and I believe once Nleash is installed, it's possible to downgrade straight from 2.1 to 1.1.

I just installed 1.7 and ran Nleash. My calc is completely frozen and even taking out the batteries or resetting didn't help. It is showing the screen that it froze in. Maybe I need a new calc...

Try unplugging the calc from the computer and pulling the batteries

Ok I didn't realize it drew power from the computer. I think it actually worked. It did!

Yep :D  I've run into that problem many a time :P

Which Nspire OSes actually supports drawing power from the computer? Can we actually use the Nspire with batteries removed if the calc is connected through USB? I heard with OS 2.0 it could be dangerous, though (Mic calc on TI-BANK, for example)

I am currently using 1.1, and I believe that is powered through the USB with batteries removed.

I think all OS's support that. I was using 1.7

Ah ok, I guess it might have been added earlier than I thought. I wonder if it's reliable, though...

I'M a bit scared of trying to rely on that considering what happened to Mic's calc on TI-BANK
