TI Nspire CX version downgrade
« on: October 19, 2014, 03:15:32 pm »
Is it possible to downgrade the version of my TI Nspire CX calculator ? I've updated it to 3.9 by mistake, and now I want to downgrade it to 3.2 or smth like that, is it possible ?


Thank You.

It depends what hardware revision your calc has. If your serial number ends with letter J or higher, then it's impossible to downgrade. Otherwise, you need an Arduino or RS232-TTL serial interface found online like Ebay then follow tutorials that can be found in older topics to downgrade.

With J hardware, if you got OS 3.9 then you are screwed. Sell your calculator or get a refund, explaining you chose the wrong calc, then buy an older one from the secondary market, asking the reseller about the serial number first.

Ok, forget what I just said in my last post, yesterday an utility to downgrade from OS 3.9 just got released: http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=172099&sid=fb36298f23817f0a43d587b870cf0c4b#p172099

Keep in mind, however, that hardware J only supports OS 3.6 and higher, so everytime you reboot your calculator, you will need to re-install Ndless, but at least it's better than nothing now. :P

Hardware J actually supports 3.2.3 and higher but yeah, as far as Ndless is concerned, we can say "3.6 and higher".

nlaunch doesn't work on hardware J as far as I know.

But yeah, as DJ_O said, you can now downgrade from 3.9 to 3.6 and use Ndless 3.6.
