Many thanks to all who contributed to unlocking the goodness, especially mabl, and AngusBeef for putting together the Step-by-Step so people like me could avoid the painful Page-by-Page...   :D

One thing I've noticed, twice I have set the unit to use a static IP with junk IPs for gateway and DNS, and after a reboot the unit reverted to DHCP which put it right back connected to the internet and able to phone home.  I *THINK* I setup my DD-WRT access restrictions on my router to prevent the scope's MAC from getting to the internet regardless of its IP, but...  So the revert of the setting to DHCP might have been part of "unlocking the (slightly buggy) goodness" with applying updates and what-not, but I'm not positive.

Has anyone else seen the "revert to DHCP" behavior?

Also, is there a way to turn on SSH "permanently" without having to use the EnableSSH.GEL hack every boot?  I don't know how to hack (yet) but I want to dig around and "play".  But, I'm kinda lazy sometimes.

Let the scope use DHCP and create a static lease in your router which will be tied to the scopes NIC.  The router will always respond to the scopes NIC's DHCP request with the IP you set.  Simple enough....

I occasionally reconfigure my network, including flashing routers with various open source firmware.  I am prone to stupid mistakes and sometimes forget why I did a specific bit of configuration, so...  On my router, the scope has a static lease plus MAC and IP access restrictions.  Taking this one step further to compensate for my own absent mindedness, I have the scope setup with static IP and subnet mask the same as its static lease, but with junk IPs for gateway and DNS.

My question to the forum regarding the odd reverting of network settings that I saw 2x times was to see if it was a safely-ignorable blip, if I hit a known bug, or what.  If no one else has seen it, then there is nothing to be concerned about, which appears to be the case.  I admit I am likely overly paranoid about the "phone home" thing and it is most likely only used for doing online firmware updates or submitting crash dumps with user consent, which is a good feature when you haven't hacked your scope.   ;D

Just got this from tequipment

Effective yesterday, any purchase of a MSO5000 oscilloscope will include the BUNDLE OPTION for FREE: https://www.tequipment.net/Rigol/MSO5000-BND/Options/

Oscilloscopes purchased during the promotion period qualifies for a free bundle upgrade with registration. This option bundle enables all serial decode capabilities, power analysis, and the integrated function generator.

I wonder what this means.....

The same as by the 7000 series, buy a scope, get the optionbundle for free….Bandwith and memory upgrade excluded.

Therefore I got the optionbundle a few days before for free from rigol.eu - Although I´ve already own one, this was a thanks for my permanent feedback over the year..

Same offer in the U.S., bundle includes protocol analysis, waveform generator, and power analysis ($699) value.  You get it when you register your product, offer expires 3/31/20.  MSO5204 gets a bandwidth upgrade to 350MHz

This makes the MSO5000 a much more compelling offering in the MSO space.

BTW, DS7000, MSO7000, MSO8000 all offers free bundles, and some with free bandwidth upgrade.

Copy the official firmware to a usb key. Stick it in the scope.
While powering on the scope, keep pressing the single button.
You'll see two options show up and you should be able to flash back to the official firmware.

It means that there's people out there who aren't reading this thread (hard to believe, I know...)

Did you do a manual hack? None of my patchers should result in a broken scope. Please report a bug in that case.

I fallowed AngusBeef steps for the hacks and brick my scope in the process . Also when I do echo “3f95cb3236b47826e303de960596f966  appEntry" | md5sum -c I get an error checksum does not match

If they want to give something away I wish it would have been the overpriced logic probe. You know, the thing that makes an "MSO" an "MSO". Charging 40% the base cost of the scope is ridiculous.

Here's one option. I just got mine together but I'm in the process of moving so I haven't been able to fully utilize them yet.

Oh, shit, I saw the same for-ever-boot-screen as Antlanpz, but the trick with pressing "single" with the original firmware (01.01.04.04) from Rigol on USB-stick failed? Are there any other suggestions to restore to factory default?

Many thanks!

(pressing "single" several times immediatly after power on did the job at the first try.)

You should not need to do manual patching if you want to apply a bspatch. You can use my automatic patcher to apply any patch you want. You will have to provide the proper checksums, which will be checked and the patch only applied if everything worked.

For those that want to use the UART port and can't because their PCB misses the inline Res, just to inform that it is a Res = 0 ohms.

Greetings to all. There was a problem: I installed the DS5000Update_01.01.04.08 version (I can’t change it to another). When creating a Putty link over SSH. After entering the word "boot" and continuing, it says that "access is closed"
5 times, after which it does not hang much ... What can be done?  :(  Thank you very much!
