Now its getting to be more fun. You're right, only using the *IDN command via the RS-232 port does the full revision number show up. My scope is now at firmware  00.02.04.00.03 .

You can now download this firmware version at the USB upgrade for dummies thread. This file was downloaded directly from my USB stick that was used for my scope.

At the risk of belaboring the point, has anyone verified that a DS1052E shipped with 00.02.04.00.03 can be successfully "downgraded" to 00.02.02 SP2 ?

I inserted an usb stick with the firmware and ran it from the menu system, once it was done I restarted the scope, it was then it refused to start up properly. Strange things go on with the button lights they light up randomly and if i do quick restarts they move...it looks kinda like a counter is incrementing.

spansion?

I can reprogram flash memories and eeproms easily enough, if i have to. But I don't know which parts of the .rgl file to place where.. and in what order ...

I'm watching this thread too.  My symptoms are identical to Halman's.  Expensive brick.

I'm going to blame this one on my incompetence.  I didn't get the file or hear about the hack from EEVB.  I ended up here after the fact while searching for a fix, only to find a much more rigorous and professional procedure.  I did a checksum on my file, and it matches the one stored here.  The calibration date was June 2010, which I believe matches with someone else's successful flash.  I think it was just a bad flash; nothing indicated a problem with the downgrade.

Either way, I just wanted to see if someone had found a way to force a reflash or fix it somehow.  My gut instinct thinks we either need to find a way to access the bootloader so we can trigger a 'factory update', or we need to get a complete image of a working flash, and do a full overwrite.  I have no evidence to back this up however.
