DSOX2000 and 3000 series - licence , have anyone tried to hack that scope ?

[salvagedcircuitry]

I have a dsox 2014 with nand flash corruption. Here's the initial u-boot output from first terminal window:

I followed the titiris method:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/dsox2000-and-3000-series-licence-have-anyone-tried-to-hack-that-scope/msg2136181/#msg2136181

I have had some successes, but I keep getting stuck near the final stages of recovery. when entering "go 0x00362000" All I get is:
## Starting application at 0x00362000 ...
nothing ever happens afterwards.

I followed the procedures for USB stick generation and set the file structure the same way, double checked the spelling of the directory folders. I put the same setup on a 64mb fat formatted usb stick and a 16gb exfat formatted usb memory stick. Neither worked. 

I repeated the process with 2.37 firmware but still no change.
I formatted the 16gb usb stick in fat32 and no change. still stuck on "Starting application at 0x00362000 ..."

I noticed that the read/write light on any usb card I use never lights up when in the scope.
I tried the same process without a usb stick inserted and the same thing happens.
Is the scope just not reading any of my usb memory cards? 

Any troubleshooting ideas?
Thanks guys!


Edit: I have solved my problem and will update here with the procedure soon. A dsox2014 has been saved from the bins!

Thank you for your post!
The firmware link you provided is dead however...don't suppose you still have the file you could send my way

I'm still researching this topic but its unclear to me whether the firmware flash repair is possible with the new v2.66 firmware. If you could pass along the old firmware it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
try with other firmware you have up to v2.66

....dumb question...do you still have that .cab file? :3 need v2.35 to fix my scope

Hello,

We also have a boot problem with the DSO-x 2012A, bought a long time ago at Agilent. Can someone give us a simple explanation what is going on here and how we can fix this? I have attached a short video.

Thanks in advance.
