Hantek - Tekway - DSO hack - get 200MHz bw for free

[frenzel.92@wp.pl]

I add a video with symptoms of malfunction, and logs, to the fault described above.

Please advice the repair

I bought new oscilloscope model 5102P, I followed instruction to upgrade to 200MHz Bandwidth, however, I couldn't change boot up logo. Then I tried to upgrade LAN ... so far I can send ping command from my PC to DSO, but I still can't telnet to DSO. Wish all of Prof. give me instruction.

This 4 channel oscilloscope cost is USD 300? how about it?

Hallo,


"
Record Length   Maximum 64K samples per single-channel;
Maximum 32K  samples per dual-channel (4K, 32K optional)
"
That is very little memory.

Hello,
I have a similar but not mentioned handheld model Protek 1006 (60MHz). Wondering if any bandwidth hack procedure in this forum would be compatible with my model?

There are some info off PCB:
Handle-DSO-1060
Version: 2.07

DSO1060
Rev.2.07
2009/12

From device menu:
Serial No.: DSO00029**
Firmware Version: 1.73
Hardware Version: 7.6.45.0.0

Or should I replace original firmware with other brand's firmware prior to hack?

Hello,
I just bought a Hantek DSO 4072c and saw a video in youtuene that the time-base is 2 x 8 instead ofa  standard 1x5. I couldn t do any manual measure of the voltage do to "a square vertically doesn t correspond to 1 v... I m a musician and use it only for low analog signals from the ouutput of my modular synths. Can anybody explain me how in the case of the series Hantek 4000 and 5000 the manual calculation  of the voltage (vertical position) works out, please? Thank you

Does anybody else can`t use the onedrive of tinhead? I got a error on the link. With the MSO5054FG one can dual boot to use it as two channel generator or the only hack is the 200mhz bw?

[derf123]

Hello all, I have read (well scanned) all 117 pages and was all ready to do the 200mhz hack to my new DSO5072P like I had previously done to my old 5072P some years ago. Then I turned the sec/div knob, and it went down to 2ns. So, is it already at 200mhz but without the hardware mods? Anyone know what the latest HW mods should be? And, do I still need to the name change thing? sw ver: 3.40.0, hw version: 1010; S/N T1G/135xxxxxx  Best regards...

Hello,

last week I bought my first DSO. It is a Hantek DSO5102P. As I read the first page of this thread the DSO should reach 2.00 ns after hacking to DSO5202. But my DSO5102 reached the 2.00 ns *before* hacking.
Now I have renamed dst5102b to dst5202b. The DSO rebooted four times. After that in menu "System Information" it shows "DSO5102P furthermore.

Maybe it is the same question which derf123 asked. Could any expert say wether this behaviour is normal? What is the best way to check the bandwidth?

[pedroX]

I recently bought 4072C and I can set 2ns without any hacking. Maybe Hantek stopped limiting the timebase, because everyone who want can "hack" it.

The 4000 series issue is low buffer - max 40k. I read the posts on page 95 and i don't understand enough which file i have to patch. License information are stored in EEPROM (of course, there is no disk), but where? The buffer size is license issue only or there is not enough memory? Has someone known it?

I managed to repair the oscilloscope. Replaced NAND and RAM, then flash via jtag. Everything works fine.

I just purchased the DSO4072C with 2 channels and function generator. I am quite pleased with it, nice large screen and all. It goes down to 2ns out of the box, boots fast and responds reasonably well.
Function gen is a nice addition for a 270 Eur scope, especially that I didn't have one. I can generate FM, AM, and square output is reasonably square up to 5MHz. Rise time is arr. 11ns, very nice and clean. 250Msa/s is not bad at all.

Here are some screenshots

Any chance we can modify the useable RAM by hardware modification? I realize this probably means the firmware has to be recompiled, just wondering...

I recently purchased a hantek dso5072p 70mhz scope. Picked up the required items to gain access to uart and a usb drive. Followed the directions exactly and no matter what I do or how many times I do it, or reboot it after doing it, or chmod ing the files so the scope can not change them it appears as a dso5072p in the menu every single time. I decided to update to latest firmware from hantek and rinse and repeat to same results. If it matters I've been able to turn the knob to 2ns even the day I pulled it out of the box.

Another thing I caught in the console and I'm not sure if it is relevant is:

[root@Hantek ~]# reboot
[root@Hantek ~]# umount: tmpfs busy - remounted read-only

Another thing worth mentioning. I've never had a bootscreen with my model number. I get a square qr code with hantek typed out, and then the second screen  hantek your testing solution then im in the scope running

sw version 3.40.0 (170714.0)
serial ended in 8069
lcd.front.ts 3.3.0

If anyone could help me out that would be great.

[jcrubin]

Ive put together a video showing subsequent upgrades of the 5000p series scope (5072p) following the 200mhz upgrade after several requests.  I guess there was some confusion as some folks reached for the firmware of their respective model number from the website.  Here is the Step by Step video covering this in the correct fashion.  The firmware used is the current one as of the date of this posting.

Hi. I have a oscilloscope Hantek DSO-5102B. It died NAND-flash. Please share the dump to the oscilloscope. S/n > 15000.

Any suggestions regarding my case?

NAND flash can be replaced by a larger one without recompiling.
And to the account of the RAM, I can not say anything.

Hello!

I'd really like to get an Hantek oscilloscope of the DSO4xx4C series (4 channel with function generator). They start at 312?€ on AliExpress for the 80 MHz model (https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/Hantek-DSO4084C-DSO4104C-DSO4204C-DSO4254C-Digital-Oscilloscope-Portable-80-250-MHz-4-Channels-1GSa-s-Record/32826583256.html) and they seem to be quite nice.

Does someone please knows if the DSO4084C (80 MHz) and DSO4104C (100 MHz) model can be upgraded to 200 MHz using the hack described here? By renaming a file?

Thanks a lot!

[Fireflaker]

Questions:
1: Does DSO4072C have all functionalities DSO5072P have, plus a function generator?
2: Can DSO4072C be hacked to get 200Mhz bandwidth?
3: Are there any reverse engineering data for DSO4072C/DSO4102C/DSO4202C?

I am planning to buy a digital scope under $280 and DSO4072C & DSO5072P seem to be good choices. Which one should I get or are there any recommendations plz? Is there a better alternative with more memory?

Any help is highly appreciated.

[Fireflaker]

I read a post on the blog claiming that the DSO4202C (200Mhz&function gen) firmware can be updated directly into the DSO4102C (100Mhz&function gen) model. However, no bandwidth difference was observed. Does it mean it is unhackable or would it be hacked if I try to rename the file using serial port? How likely is it going to be so hard to hack and I should just get a Rigol DS1054Z?

Happy new year!

I have the same unit - a very recent purchase
This may be premature, but, I wouldn't overlook the possibility that Hantek is not longer supporting these hacks

PS. mine is also showing 2ns out of the box, same SW version and bootup screen

Hi All

I have successfully made serial connection with my Hantek DSO5102P,  via USB to serial and the direct USB connection.  Attempted to reflash.  However after the reflash, the oscilloscope hangs after the reboot.  Upon power up, the Hantek logo displays and after that nothing happens.

Please see the attached screens shots from 'EmbedSkyDownLoadTool_V1.0'' and the terminal Running Information after transferring the file 'wh5   root_dso5102p3.ubi'.

I believe I may have the wrong .ubi file.  I may have a partition error and thus would also require a working backup from another DSO5102P.  Please can someone provide a backup and help to convert to the correct .ubi file so that I can attempt a successful firmware reflash.

Thank you

No more opening and soldering connections to hack would be an incredible feat imo!
