If by some mirace......(nspire)
« on: January 09, 2011, 07:11:50 pm »
I have a few suggestions/ideas.

If we do set up a massive attempt to find a factor for the nspire's RSA, we should do the Boot2 one. Why? because that one is the same for both calcs.

once (if :P) it is cracked, instead of installing an OS as the boot2, we write another boot2 that has no RSA protection for the OS. Then, you could install the TI-OS or a Custom OS, whichever you prefer. It would boot much faster either way (Skip half the loading bar, after it flashes)

This would be the equivalent of RunOS. Plus, any OS would work on any nspire. :)


On a side note, did you know the nspire has a memory location mapped for an SD card host?  O.O

The only problem is if you fail when messing with boot2, you brick your calc.

I believe you can check all of the keys after you do the division, but yeah, boot2 is our priority.

Technically, I think there is a way to send boot2 over RS232 cable

And it works, I could recover my boot2 after I accidently erased the original one.
But replacing the boot2 means find the keys in boot1.

If the boot2 replacement (and installation code) has to be 100% reliable to avoid any soldering to recover the calculator in case of a crash, why not make an 100% reliable boot1 code instead, that wouldn't require any key factoring?

That is from the maintenance menu, it was intended for upgrading, not recovering from a brick.

No, boot1 can receive and install boot2 over RS232.

Do we know what the rest of those ports on the bottom do? I know the nspire actually has an SD host....

You're wrong. See my topic about hacking boot1.
