Am I missing something? All the files for downgrading to 2.02 from other versions are available. What I cannot find is the 2.05.02 downgrade file. Any pointers? Thanks in advance...

8)Hi, I am a newbie, and wanted to thank everyone for the great write up on how to upgrade a DS1052E to a DS1102E. I felt nervous and scared to do the upgrade because I wasn't sure if I could understand everything, but with time to digest it I did! Shafri's program made it extra easy too. Thank you!!

Thanks timotet, I just couldn't find that. 100MHz here I come!

Successful upgrade from DS1052E 00.02.06.00.01 HV=58 to DS1102E 00.02.04 SP1, following the standard procedure described here exactly. Everything went like clockwork!

Carefully read the one page!
Thank you!

Another happy customer here wishing to offer a huge THANK YOU! to everyone involved.. (not the least of which is Rigol for not locking this off).

I've gone from 0.02.06 to 0.02.04 SP1. Has anyone going all the way back up to 0.02.06 noticed any issues?

Thanks again!

The best advice I can offer is to stay with 2.04 SP1

Higher versions do not appear to have added worthwhile improvements and as many manufacturers state...if you do not have any problems with the firmware you are running DO NOT upgrade your version. Its often a numbers game...a later version number must be better right ?....not necessarily so and it is my opinion that this applies to the DS1052E. I know of no nasty issues with 2.04SP1 but 2.05x had some real nasties such as crashing and awful screen flicker. No idea about 2.06 but Rigol advised me that all versions later then 2.04SP1 were purely "housekeeping" changes ....i.e. attempts to prevent changing the 50MHz DSO into a 100MHz DSO.

You can always update to 2.06 if you find a bug in 2.04SP1 but I advise patience and not to upgrade just because it's available.

I would like to thank those on this blog who put this together. I
successfully upgraded my recently purchased DS1052E to DS1102e. Wonderful.
No problems whatsoever. I purchased the unit from Amazon $355 on Monday. http://www.tequipment.net/
sent it out FedEx(!) wow..

Thanks again!

Some people tell its not possible to hack rigol with 2.06 firmware, can someone made an updated guide with updated files, cos some files are not avalaible for download. Thank in advance

artico78 · « **Reply #986 on:** March 28, 2012, 10:17:27 am »

Someone have the same type of guide for 2.06??? Its really good work

Quote from: gyurma on October 08, 2011, 11:54:22 pm

Thanks for the great tutorial and the help of the repliers!
Because I did not find any downgrade file for the 02.05.SP2 scopes, I just edited a file for the older fw versions and checked it to the md5 sums.
It worked. 'Till now i dont see any problem with the firmware either. 02.04.SP1 is OK.
I made a package for newcommers. Feel free to use it...

Read the instructions and also the Blog before using it!!!

Ah, come on guys!

It is here and it covers all the known FW versions up to v2.06 (02.06.00.01) included.

Hi

Many thanks to the people who put the work into creating and documenting this hack. I've just upgraded a 2.06.00.01/HW58 using the tools linked to. All the info is in this thread; just read and research and read again!

Just to reinforce - check your hashes *on the USB stick*, and check them again. Being paranoid, I put the 'scope and the computer on a UPS.

A small point - the first post states (in red): "The downgrade is currently only possible for scopes who come with an firmware up to 00.02.05.02.00" - this is clearly no longer true, as the post goes on to make clear. This could be confusing some folks?

Thanks again.

John

Help! First of all.thanks a lot to those who provided the approach to hach the rigol ds1052E.HOWEVER,after my rigol being hacked?it can not connect to the computer any more,neither via usb or serial port, I really what it to do acquisition with labview.
who can give me a solution? My appreciation to you is beyond word.

Can anyone with a hacked 1052e Rigol check if your serial ports and USB ports are still active? This is a fairly concerning flaw if its true, and its the first I've heard in over 3 years of people hacking the Rigol.

I've just checked mine; it works fine on USB (I don't have any way of checking the serial port). I was on 2.06.01, now 2.04 SP1. H/W 58.

Thank you, icon. You made me regain the confidence to tackle this problem. From the point view of repeatability of scientific experiment, if we have the same experimental object and the same experimental method, the result should be the same. The first condition is confirmed, so the cause may be different in method. As I have flashed it many times, I’ll just narrate the last time I do the hack.
1.   modify the first 21 bytes of 2.02 firmware.
2.   downgrade the rigol,then use the “rigupgr” tool,change it’s model and serial num to DS1102E.(still can connected)
3.   modify the first 21 bytes of 2.04 sp1
4.   upgrade the rigol to 2.04 sp1(no response to the usb plug,at winxp just no echo at all,at win7,it noticed that no id firmware only at the first time it plug with usb)

Is there any wrong with my procedure?
I found a new phenomenon last night: the rigol can be connected during a short period of power on, and it recognize as a hid device, After that it disconnected and no response anymore.

Hi

The only thing I did differently was I used the ready-patched 2.02 and 2.04 firmware linked to in this thread, and checked the MD5 checksum of the file on the USB stick to make sure it was correct.

John

I finally tackle this problem, It was all because of my carelessness. LOOK AT the picture, the serial number has a /n on the end, and that was the troublemaker.
CONCLUSION:AnyONE who change the form of the serial number will lead to the Unable to connect to computer of the rigol scope.
thank you for anyone who care about my trouble, now I can easily control my scope with relaxed labview programming.

John, I am glad you managed to figure it out. I am sorry though but none of the pictures you have posted really made it over here, at the eevblog.com, since they all have been replaced by generic null images of the image hosting companies (hi.baidu.com and gonten.com).

Hi

Confusion about who's posting what; Ming is the one with the null images - I'm the other one.

Oops... You are right, John. It is obvious I was addressing Ming.

It seems that the broken quotation containing your signature, at Ming's message before my previous one, is what got me confused. I am sorry about that.
