Finally and finally, I became one of the dsox4000 owners.

There used to be a nice dsox4054a listed in Chinese ebay (Xianyu) about half years ago, only about 3 grands. But at that time, I don't have spare money to buy it. and it sold out a few month later. Pretty regret about that. I repaired over 10 dsox2000/3000a series these years, but never have the chance to own a dsox4000. Just a week before, I saw a dsox4032a listed as can't boot condition for only 1.7k. I think I shsouldn't lost the chance again and bought it without thinking twice.
After it arrived, it even came with the front cover, and the condition looks like new, then it came to how to repair it and make it work again.
As many forum memeber know, after v2.35 and on all 3000t/4000a firmwares, boot from usb is no longer supported. Although I got the raw chip data from my friend, and could fix it by replace the chip with a programmed new one, but without soldering and keep everything origional is still better, then I suddenly realized keysight still leave us a great solution.
There are 2 images in the firmware! The image 1 is which we usually used to do the repair. The image 2 is only active when the system thinks it got a firmware corruption. Maybe I could try to use the image 2 to repair the scope. Then I do the classic way, ksx to cab, get the nk.bin.comp, convert to nk.nb0, and use teraterm to transfer the image to the scope, after some time, go 0x00362000, waiting nervously, the scope showed up the classic window to ask for firmware reinstall, it came to life! And after a firmware update, it fully recovered and booting smoothly.

Hope this story could give someone some ideas one day, the firmware origionally in the scope still use agilent splash screen so it's a very early version, and what I use to do the recovery is the 7.66 version, so I believe this method might needn't to make the firmware have version close to the one in the scope and maybe it's a easier way.
Have to say, a 12 inch touch display is quite amazing, and much better than the no touch one on the 3000A series.
