Calculator Total Wipeout
« on: May 08, 2012, 05:10:03 pm »
Well. This is most unfortunate. Today I turned on my Nspire and it decided to reboot. It has done this a few times since I installed ndless, but I thought nothing too much about it. Today it turned out to be different. It got about halfway through when it said it needed to install a new OS. I have no idea where the OS went, but I sent a copy of OS 3.1.0.392 to my calculator through my newly configured TiLP. Then I check the documents, and everything's gone!  :o

I lost
 *A Pokemon save with 43 hours of play time, I beat the Elite four on the calculator  :'(
 *Completed games of Super Mario Bros DX, Super Mario Land, and Super Mario Land 2
 *The game
 *Save files for Donkey Kong, Legend of Zelda, and Mario's Picross which I had gotten very far along
 *Lots of mini projects in Nspire Lua
 *Bunch of crap I forgot about.

Any ideas about why this happened or if I could recover anything?

My CX CAS usually reboots when there is chalk in the wifi port.
I don't put chalk here on purpose but a blue piece of chalk decided to die in my bag and now there is chalk on all my stuff.
So maybe you too have some crap in your bag that is messing with some port, making the calc reboot ?

also,

Wow this sucks. It is not normal that the entire OS gets wiped out, though. I wonder if it could be caused by a buggy Ndless program?

When I got my TI-Nspire Clickpad, in one occasion when I turned it ON it rebooted and then everything I had stored in the memory had vanished completely. The OS (1.6 if I remember) was intact, though.

This a very strange issue, normally no files should get lost.
Possibly something got corrupted, and it needed to format the NAND.

I was using nover to overclock my calculator (everything was under recommended levels), gbc4cx with a lot of games, ndoom2, and particles! :D

They should all be pretty stable right?

I know that lot of stuff can slow down the list loading time a lot, but I hope that it's the cause for wipeout.
