ExtendeD worked a bit on the J04 connector in commercial models, indeed. But no JTAG (in standard format) seemed to be available.

So is a NAND reader our best chance right now?

Seems so. Who is skilled enough to try?
I cannot keep the oldest 1.0.3xx and 1.0.4xx CAS+ forever...


- So we need to hard-dump OS 1.0.554 (the most common on production CAS+). I could try, but I'm sure I'll break everything...

- Then we should test soft-exploits to dump the older 1.0.529 OS (early production CAS+) - as I have severall of them.

- Then once the soft-exploits are safe enough, we should try them with the older 1.0.3xx and 1.0.4xx OSes.
The 1.0.4xx OS seems quite similar to 1.0.5xx OSes. I suppose it should work. The 1.0.3xx OS is different and "strange"...

If I were to buy a CAS+ on ebay, which is the OS version it would most likely come with?

Another choice- if you know someone that works with embedded systems and has the equipment for this

Probably 1.0.554 if the CAS+ is manufactured in september or october 2006 (which are the most frequent).

Early production CAS+ manufactured in august or early september 2006 should come with the 1.0.529 OS, but it's much more rare.

Any other version would be collector! :P

This would be funny if someone found a sub-1.0 OS version number. I remember when people found OS 0.46 for the TI-84 Plus.

I doubt we would get that any other way than we got OS 0.46 though, since CAS+s were released to store owners after being deemed "Useable" and therefore worthy of a 1.0

How did you find OS 0.46?

We got it from TI's site, with an accidental upload when they updated the OS. They fixed it in a few hours, but we got it :)

Wow. They accidentally uploaded a really old version?   :o

Yep, and it had remnants of external printer support, if I remember correctly :P it was also really buggy.

Those remnants are also included in OSes 2.21 & 2.22.

They've been removed starting from OS 2.30.




So? Has anyone tried to dump the CAS+ the hardware way?
I'm ok to send a free replacement TI-Nspire CAS+ if you brick it.

I would be glad to do it myself but with such a chip, I've got the kind of iron solder which will probably solder three pins instead of one...

The standard trick in soldering microelectronics with a high wattage iron is to
wrap a thin copper wire on the tip of your soldering iron, to make a small
hot contact.
Make it long enough , then cut pieces of the wire shorter and shorter, till its hot enough
to melt the solder.
A solder sucker is the preferred way to eliminate the solder from the nand-board bond.

Update: Check your local electronics hobby store for desoldering tools also.(mention for microelectronics)
 There are inexpensive tools I found at my store .

 There are inexpensive tools I found at my store [Radio Shack ]. Is Radio Shack in France ?

You think he should remove the NAND before dumping it?
