I've set up a poll to find out how many have done the mod and succeeded, not done the mod, done the mod nothing happened, finally done the mod and lost the scope's functionality.
Whole version is not (afaik) displayed on scope system info. 00 and 01 displays in system info as 00.02.04
You can ask it with *IDN command and there may be 00.02.04.01 or something else.
I've update my scope with this firmware, and the help menus
are indeed back! Nothing bad seems to have happened :-)
Thanks!

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.

Works as advertised Now my firmware is 00.02.04.00.03 (verified using usb-cable and "Visa VC demo"). Help system also works. And it still reports DS1102E.
Hello,
I seem to have bricked my scope while performing the firmware downgrade… When I restart the scope it does not boot up but one can see that the lcd is turned on but there is no image…
Any tips, can I somehow trigger a reflash from this state?
I have access to the necessary equipment to desolder and reflash most types of memories in a programmer .. but i rather not if there is any other way…
*.rgl is 4MB (thats in my keeping 2.02 and 2.04) but mostly blank inside, i havent thought of the ROM thing, might some useful data from inside. JTAG i found is similar to yours. i remember those ground"s" pin"s". but i dont have the JTAG programmer, so whats the point? for me! i cannot trace the Altera connection to the spansion since its BGA underground, rigol PCB is at least 3 layers, so .
my only hope lies in the dissambly of the rigol FW, finding where the important interrupts point will be and crack it to take control from there. but i never got strong feeling for it, i want to continue to make some productive work to do. and.... nobody seems interesting, since i guess, its the software thing, and... the undocumented one btw: if anyone want the nicely (well... not so nice) compiled opcodes for blackfin BF531 in csv/xls format, be happy to ask. i've done it in the hardway.
your problem same with halman is worst since i dont see your rigol will ever reach the interrupt (USB FW re-upgrade, RS232 comm etc), probably you've tossed your bootloader as well! a brighter hope lies in halman, since he got parallel programmer as he mentioned.
I didin't understand why you want to trace from the altera to the spansion flash? In my opinion the flash is connected to the ADSP-BF531, not to the altera.
I'm still trying to find a way to reflash the spansion via the ADSP's JTAG interface?
If not possible, Plan B would be to desolder the flash and replace it with a new one flashed in an external programmer.
I think the 02.01.01 firmware I used for downgrading uses a different boot block inside the flash which is not compatible with my hardware.
Replacing the whole 4MBytes flash content should therefore make the scope work again. I only hope that the 4 MBytes used are at the beginning of the entire 8MBytes flash...
I've desoldered the spansion flash and read out the content (file.rar). Last Action before was downgrading to 02.01.01 (the packed *.rgl file in the attachment). I want to analyze the file to find out, where the *.rgl file has been placed. With this information I hope to be able to replace the 01.01 with a (working) 01.02 or 01.04.
The model it's stored at position 0x1FFF40 and in reverse byte order [LSB?], e.g. "SD0125.E"
