General Calculator Help / nspire downgrade guidance
« on: January 06, 2014, 11:28:25 pm »
So here is what I don't want to end up doing:
So here's what I'm working with: ti-nspire cx cas, Version 3.2.0.1212, Boot1 3.0.0.99, Boot2 3.1.0.16
After drinking from this forum's infinite wisdom, I found that I dodged a bullet not updating any higher.
Now I want to keep avoiding that bullet and get ndlessly goodness, but i need some guidance.
So I have the right 3.1 update file (assuming TI didn't to some malicious switching).
I never even installed computer link before, so how does that work with installing the OS? Which version should I use?
Do I need to TNOC anything? (not that I know how)
Special request, anyone know how to get the student software 3.1 version?
Edit: google chrome translator is awesome
Hi,
Some TI-Planet content is available in both english and french.
It should default to english for guests when their computer language is not french.
Once regestired, you can set your preferred language in your user profile.
Anyway, you may ask your question in both french and english - most of us speak english too over there
If you did update your TI-Nspire HW-E to 3.6, then your Boot2 was also updated to 3.2.4.
To freely read PDF you need Ndless which requires OS 3.1
But OS 3.6 forbids you to install OS 3.1.
Thus you need Nlaunch, which makes Boot2 ignore the minimal installable OS version set in memory.
But Nlaunch only works with Boot2 3.1.
You then need to reflash Boot2 3.1.
This requires an external hardware: an USB/TTL interface:
By putting the TI-Nspire in Boot2 receive mode (Doc+Enter+2 while rebooting) and connecting ground, Tx and Rx to three contacts on the TI-Nspire bottom J01/Dock connector, you can reflash Boot2 3.1 with the Hyperterminal software coming with Windows up to Vista.
After this is done you can litterally do everything you want with your calculator, and we have comprehensive tutorials in both french and english for each step
