Hmm interesting. I wonder if eventually Ndless will be made to work on all OSes...

Apparently, OS 1.7 itself just won't even work on the CAS Touchpad Nspire, while 1.1 and 1.6 do.

OSes 1.6/1.7 won't boot on a TI-Nspire CAS TouchPad with any of the 4 available keypads (84+, ClickPad, basic TouchPad, CAS TouchPad). You either get continuous reboots, either a "wrong keypad" dialog box when the progress bar reaches 100%.

Here's a photo of that dialog box:

The photo comes from that french news, which might have other usefull infrmations for you:
http://ti.bank.free.fr/index.php?mod=news&ac=commentaires&id=877

OSes 1.1-1.4 are booting on a TI-Nspire CAS TouchPad with the original keypad without any problem.
You can't boot with a ClickPad keypad (continuous reboots), but you can swap the keypad while the calculator is on. The calculator won't turn off or reboot as those OSes don't check for the keypad being removed.


As Ndless 1.7 will never work on a TI-Nspire CAS TouchPad with OS 1.7/1.6, it has been modded in order to be installable on OS 1.4.
http://www.unitedti.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=9539

According to Levak's tests, with OS 1.4, we're getting exactly the same USB- and theta-bugs as with OS 1.7.

It's so weird that this happens. X.x. An older OS works, but not a newer one. What's next, TI? OS 2.1 won't work on newer Nspires that will have 2.2 or 3.0? O.o

Oh well, hopefully those issues will be solved eventually by a Ndless 2.0 release. I guess it will depend of how busy are the developers and if they can figure out bugs.

No, there is no OS 1.1 for the touchpad, it never existed.

HOWEVER, with the CAS I think you can do it but not sure.

IF you have a Clickpad you can switch them while Ndless is active :)

On a basic TouchPad:
1) put a ClickPad keypad
2) install OS 2.1
3) send and launch Nleash
4) install OS 1.1

On a CAS TouchPad:
1) install OS 2.1
2) send and launch Nleash
3) install OS 1.1
4) boot OS 1.1 with the TouchPad keypad
5) while the calculator is on, hot-swap the TouchPad keypad with a ClickPad keypad

?

OS 1.1 does exist...

The only problem is that OSes 2.x which are preinstalled on all TouchPad Nspire install a downgrade protection against all OSes older than 2.0.0.

You just need Nleash to destroy that protection.
It works on both basic and CAS TouchPad Nspire.

Moreover, it's easier to get a usable OS 1.1 on a basic TouchPad than on a CAS TouchPad, as explained above:

Also on the CAS, you need to push on the clickpad keypad to keep the connection alive. There's a news on TI-BANK about it but I cannot find it there, same on the forums (did it get deleted or something?). It's a bit akward, but it's the only way to do it, now.

Have you been able to install OS 1.1?

If the endless reboot happened before that, it means that Nleash didn't work well.
Just use the maintenance menu to remove the OS, and try again.

If the endless reboot happened after installing OS 1.1, the problem comes from the keypad.
Which model are you using: basic or CAS TouchPad ?
With which keypad: ClickPad or TouchPad ?

I'm using a basic touchpad.  I borrowed a clickpad so I could do this
