DS2000A Upgrade Utility

Hello all, I am new to this forum.

I am trying to upgrade my brand new DS2072A to 300MHz.
I have installed this utility, but I get stuck because the boot loader doesn't load the modified .GEL file.
The USB stick seems to be good, I have saved a picture on it just fine.

After pressing the Power-up and Help buttons in sequence very fast and inserting the USB stick, instead of getting the Ch1 LED blinking, the boot loader jumps to lighting all the LEDs, as it was all finished.
The only .GEL file that gets loaded ok with this procedure is the latest file from the site, which is version 03.00.01.03.
My scope's  FW version is 00.03.00.SP1.

I have read that the FW could be downgraded to v2.0 first, but I have no idea if this is the solution to my problem (or which .GEL file to use for this operation).
Could you please help me with this?
Thank you very much.

Maybe the .GEL file you'd put on the USB stick is corrupted. Just re-download it then try again.

Cheers.

Thank you for your reply.
I have tried with all .GEl files, the only one working is the latest firmware v3.
Looking at the FPGA version, I see that the MCU version is 00.06, which is newer than what others reported that works.

I don't know, but this could be the problem, that RIGOL has upgraded and patched it with the latest release.
If this is the case, what is the solution?

Regards and thank you.

I just wanted to second what adi101 said. I have just received a new DS2072A with the latest firmware installed - 00.03.00.01.03 (installed at the factory) and I cannot seem to load any of the firmwares available on http://www.gotroot.ca/rigol/.

I have tried the license key dump version, the non-A license key version, even the stock standard version 02.01.00.03 and the scope doesn't seem to load any of them. I have used 5 different USB keys just to be certain that it is none of those as well.

Is it possible that Rigol have patched the latest firmware/bootloader to no longer allow downgrades?

Thanks.

For the New owners of DS2072A, to help clarify.
Are there Trial options on these latest purchased DS2000?

Do you observe that after pressing help on boot-up :
    1: That all LEDs go off and ONLY the "SINGLE"  is ON
    2: then when the USB stick is inserted the active led on the USB stick flashes? at least once
    3: if the USB stick Flashes only once and NO 'CH 1" flashing , try removing and re-insert.

Try Small 4GB Stick works Best, make sure only a few files,
for me I use 2 files  DS2000Update.GEL  and DS2000Update_00.03.00.00.00.GEL   in order to tell which FW is on each Stick
