@SanFable
I would say the answer to your question is NO that is NOT the correct Hex byte to replace.
(But I am not an expert)

I have been experimenting with the latest 04.04 firmware as downloaded from Rigol
I opened the file in notepad++ and used the HEX plugin to view the hex file
I searched for "e50100a86108080510096089e67d0050"
which is found at 00019710
and replaced "e50100a86108080510096089e67d0050"
with "01" and did a SaveAs to a compatable USB memory stick
Then I inserted into the 1052E and it asked if I wanted to replace the same firmware with new?
I said OK and it did complete the update
After restarting it now
And I now have a new sweep time of 2ns VS the old 5ns
I then did a SELF CAL

And now the scope SEEMS to be working correctly as a 100 MHz scope
It still shows 1052E in the system info screen

I am measuring a 3.9ns rise time with my 74AC14 fast edge pulse generator

Hope this helps you
cheers
Dwight

I have attached the MODDED 04.04 file I used for MY scope.  (use at your own risk)

Very frustrating. I thought Rigol had kind of given tacit approval to this? I stupidly upgraded a 2.02 scope to 4.04, intending on using the Riglol gen.

Now it seems to be locked into being a 50MHz bare bones. I tried the 4.04 found here, and it never asks if I want to replace the firmware.

Did I just jam myself up?

Hé Alienrelics,

There are not many people on this subject anymore. It’s probably a bit old....
I never have answers to the questions I ask.
See my questions just above.

In your case, I think it is necessary to redo via Jtag an old firmware.
And then we end up with lots of questions and necessarily where to find a correct flash...
