General Calculator Help / Re: Nspire Boot2 Broken!
« on: December 24, 2012, 07:54:04 pm »
That did it!  Calculator is fully operational again!

Thanks so much for the help and luckily I was able to get to micro center right before they closed.

Also just a note:
I discovered that if you just copy the .DLL and the .EXE files for hyper terminal to the correct directories in windows 7 it will work just fine on windows 7!  If anyone needs me to send them the files just shoot me a PM or something I would be happy to.

Calculator Side


Computer Side


I know It is getting a connection because if I run Docklight I can see a log of what is happening when I hit power on the calculator.  I then have to restart to get the port to open through Terminal.

Terminal gives me no log that I can find...  The main screen stays blank.

Boot2 1.4 can be downloaded here:
http://tiplanet.org/forum/archives_voir.php?id=4614

You then need to send it to your TI-Nspire using a software supporting the Xmodem protocol.
Ancient Windows versions used to come with HyperTerminal (removed in Windows 7 - don't know about Vista).

Thanks man.  I am still having some trouble tho...  I pulled a computer out from down under that still has windows XP on it.  I opened up hyper terminal and im still getting nothing.
Below is what I am doing and what settings I am using... Maybe you can point out what exactly is wrong.

Hyper Terminal Settings:
    Baud rate = 115200
    Data = 8 bit
    Parity = none
    Stop = 1 bit
    Flow control = none

Steps:
1. Open up Hyper Terminal Set up as directed above
2. Ensure that Hyper Terminal is connected to com port
3. Load Boot2 file into Hyper Terminal
4. Turn calculator on allowing acceptance of new boot2 file
           - Hold [DOC]+[ENTER]+[2] When you press on
5.Send File...

Also I have been trying to use the most recent boot2 file however most things I find say to use 1.4?
Yup. 1.4.1571 works just fine. Newer 3.x versions do not bring any user-level feature, but bring a massive anti-feature: enforcing the silly anti-downgrade protection, while it can be easily defeated in boot2 1.4.1571 :)
Users aiming at keeping control of their calculators (rather than letting TI do it, which they have no business of doing) should never transfer unmodified 3.x OS upgrades; TNOC should be used before transfer, so as to remove those silly boot2 3.x images (and thereby save more than 1 MB of usable space on your calculator).
Right I get all that.  The issue is I acted as your standard consumer and installed the update from TI without thinking about it and now my calculator is bricked.  I am trying to recover it.  It is to late to run anything through TNOC.  

I have everything setup like you can see in this post http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7967  But can not figure out how to actually make the transfer.

Where can I find 1.4?
It's embedded in OS 1.7.2741, for instance, and you can retrieve it with pretty much any program able to decompress ZIP files: Nspire OS updates are just ZIP files with an extra header ignored by most tools :)
Yep that part I did figure out just did not know where to find 1.4 The download links on this website seem to be no longer active...

Thanks :)

General Calculator Help / Nspire Boot2 Broken!
« on: December 24, 2012, 01:22:37 am »
Okay guys.  I have spent the past week trying to figure this out and I think I am very close but I have given in and have to just ask.  I installed that darn TI os that bricks the whole calculator (Nspire CAS Touchpad)

I got my pins jumped to the correct pins on a serial port.  I have tried to transfer a new boot2 file to the calc but every time I do the calc times out and shuts off before the file can finish the transfer...  What program do you use to replace the boo2.img file? 

Also I have been trying to use the most recent boot2 file however most things I find say to use 1.4?  Where can I find 1.4?

Does any of this make sense?  I am very tired haha.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys.  I am new obviously

I do this thing called TSD Rally (Time speed distance) Basically the goal is to cover a couple hundred miles in a car at an exact speed.   There are checkpoints randomly along the way and depending on how early or late you come into the checkpoint you are given points (for every hundredth of a minute).  It is a lot of fun but a very heavily math based sport to stay exactly on time.  Anyway the point of this whole thing...

I have a TI-Nspire CAS and I would really like to write a program for it that will allow me to have my hundredth of a minute clock show on the top of the screen while allowing me to still do my calculations on the bottom of the screen.  Also if there is anyway for me to have two more clocks bellow it I can use as my split times. 

I actually think this is a pretty simple program however I know nothing about programing.  Could anyone help me with this maybe point me in the right direction?  What is good resource to get me started on programing for a TI?  Or i mean if anyone feels up for it and wants to just help me out haha

Thanks in advance!
