I think we should forget about creating files on the calc, and instead just send the contents of boot2 out over the RS232, since you already have that set up. I'll email you a file when I finish writing and testing it.

Is it ok for it to just output raw binary or will your terminal program not be able to log that properly?

I should be able to handle raw binary I think.
Thanks.

After you dump boot2 , see if you can reflash boot2_1.1.7314 and OS1.1.7320 back on
as an integrity check.

Goplat, thank you for your file.

Unfortunately, I've tried it something like 10 times and I allways get this:

Did you remember the 32-byte header?

You could also try sending it as a temp image (headerless)...

Going to try again.

Actually, sending it as a temp image doesn't work, sorry (just tested in nspire_emu)

Can this procedure also work for other unknown boot2's like the CAS+ ?
First you have to hunt for valid points then write the exploit.

Maybe, but it won't work through USB with TI-Nspire Computer Link 1.0 "as is".
The PC-side TNC format checking will fail.
It might work through RS232, as there is no file checking prior to sending.


Goplat, could I have an "exploit2" version which would wait some seconds prior to sending?
I'm under Windows, and I unless you've got a better idea, I have to use 2 terminal softwares (disconnect/reconnect):
- HyperTerminal Private Edition which supports Xmodem transfers
- DockLight which supports ascii & hex file logs

Edit: thanks!
I was just missing the first 512 bytes (wasn't quick enough to switch terminals).
Apparently, there aren't many good terminal softwares for Windows.
Linux would have been much easier I suppose with the "cat" command :P


Edit2: dumped.
All my basic & CAS Nspire prototypes are now fully dumped.
Now, back to the CAS+! :P

There are a lot more capable terminal programs written for MsDOS back then, because of the
direct hardware access that Window$ doesn't give you. Here is a link to some of them:

The 1.1.73xx boot1/boot2/OS/diags are the only developer versions which have visible differences with the newer 1.1 developer and production versions.

They seem to be an intermediate between TI-Nspire CAS+ and basic/CAS TI-Nspire.

You can find lots of screen captures and photos of the matching prototype below:

A very big thanks to everybody.
Omnimaga is great!

I'm glad you like the site. Also thanks a lot for your work in finding these prototypes, trying to hack them and all the other discoveries you made. I unfortunately cannot help much, though, since I know nothing about hardware stuff.
