changing the rigol DS1052E to DS1102E using USB , the dummy guide

[romantao]

I!, could someone repost the last original firmware so i can eventually revert the mod of my oscilloscope for warranty purposes?

Here's a solution that works for me: downgrade to 3.01, change your trigger calibration with drieg SCPI commands and next,  upgrade to 4. Now I have a perfect calibration ^_^

Has this been fixed in the last firmware update?

[andtfoot]

and I can't download it.

I think I may have saved a copy to my computer at work... When I go back in tomorrow, I'll see if I can find it and upload it somewhere.

Edit: Bugger... no luck so far. I'll keep on looking anyway.

Have a working rigol by now. Thing works like a charm and have been using it already.

Great Scope!

I have Software version:
00.04.01.00.02
DSP: 00.01
FPGA: 03.07
HardVersion: 58

I flashed the firmware with the new one gizmo linked.
Flashing seemed to work, scope is still fine.

However its still DS1052E.

I tried turning it into the DS1102E through the DemoIDN tool.
While all steps seem to work as written, when I restart the scope I get my slightly modified serial number (EB)
But the scope still lists: DS1052E

Did the hack succeed?
I managed to go to 2.000ns now

Edit: I should note that the command :INFO:BW?  returns 100

It's two separate ways of doing the hack.

The original, model/serial number hack changes the model code, and thus the software removes the bandwidth limiting.

The hacked firmware doesn't change the model number - the firmware itself is changed so that regardless of the model number, bandwidth limiting is always turned off. So yea, it's hacked now.

I can email it to you if you PM me your addy.

hay guys,just wanted to say thank you to all that helped with the hack,mainly gismo. one thing tho guys once you have used the firmware hack 00.04.00.01 YOU CAN NOT DOWNGRADE. .mine had 00.03.00.00 firmware on it but wanted to go back for servicing back to 1052e  .

[AndersAnd]

Anyone else think the fan is still a bit loud?

Yes very loud and annoying.
Read this topic on how to replace the original 60 mm fan with a more silenet and larger 80 mm fan:

Hi,
I have a new DS1052E with FW 00.04.01.00.02 on it. When I put a USB-stick with the 100Mhz version in, the scope asking me to do the "update" to the same version (Detect a same-version software, do you want to upgrade?). I think, it will work, but for guarantee-reasons I will have the chance to go back to the original FW. Where can I find it? A few pages before, there is a link, but it's not usable.

BTW: Gizmo, great work Thanks a lot!

it does work,just update and you have 100mhz scope.

[MudMan]

I think, after an upgrade to the 100Mhz Version, the only way is, to use the not cracked version (00.04.01.00.02 50MHz). So I'm searching for this version. It is on my new scope but I cant download it from the scope.

It didnt work for me,once the upgrade was in i was unable to go back to the 50mhz. i have the original 00.04.01.00.02 firmware from rigol but wont let you downgrade as my  original was 00.04.00.01

[MudMan]

Why will you do an downgrade? And to what? 50MHz or a less version?
If you do an upgrade to a official version from Rigol (e.g. 00.04.01.00.02) you have no problems with the guarantee, because it is official.
With the actual (00.04.01.00.02) patched version from Gizmo you can "downgrade" to the original one. I have tried it and it works fine. From my original installed 00.04.01.00.02 to the 100MHz version from Gizmo and then back to the original one from Rigol.

CHECK THIS OUT PEPS AWESOME..MY MATES NEW SCOPE HACKED TO DS1152E. SO FAR,SO GOOD.

[Fraser]

Presume he has applied the 150 MHz EDU hack ?

This was discovered and discussed way back, but there was some doubt regarding what it actually achieved in terms of increased bandwidth on a 1052E. Most users have stuck with the 100MHz spec.

Note that the 150MHz version of the Rigol was only advertised in China and no such unit sold in Europe.

[straycat]

Yer he got the scope last week,we deal a lot with high spec testing where we work.we have run some tests on it so far so good. Will keep doing more tests and will post more info on the progress.

[Fraser]

Excellent. Thanks

Its an easy hack to do as it is just a change of model and serial number just like the 100MHz hack.

[straycat]

Looking for a mod firmware 00.04.01.00.02 for downgrading. Any help or ideas would be very greatfull. thank you.

So do I. 

[straycat]

 Be interesting if it can be done.Like 00.04.01.00.02 down to 02.02 or something like that.

I just bought the Rigol
spec is:
DS1ET
00.04.01.00.02
DSP 00.01
FPGA 03.07
Hard 58
The OSC dont want to read the file
I tested 5 different sticks from 2gb to 16gb
I can save the files from Rigol to sticks but it dont want to run the update mode at the start.
What is going on?
I am sure that i am doing everything like You said.
I used this file http://jahansen.com/rigol/DS1000EUpdate.00.04.01.00.02.zip
Why it dont want to read the RGL file, or maybe dont see it?

Cheers

[MudMan]

You must unzip the file. Only the "DS1000EUpdate.RGL" is needed. Try to format the stick with FAT16. The Scope runs better with FAT16 not with FAT32.

[nexusprime]

Of course i used the RGL file not the zip
I tried both fat and fat32
Still no luck ;/

[MudMan]

...I can save the files from Rigol to sticks but it dont want to run the update mode at the start...

What do you mean? You're putting the stick in and then switching on the scope? Don't do that. Switch the scope on, wait until it runs normally and THEN put the stick in. Now the scope detects the firmware and asking you to update.
