POST Hacking Rigol MSO5000 - POST HACKING TUTORIAL - DEEP DIVE

<< < (17/18) > >>

BTO:
JUST CHECKING IN WITH EVERYONE

How are the video's going ? Does anyone have any questions, How's everyone going with their newly licensed Scopes ?

BTO:
IF ANYONE IS STILL GETTING ASSERTION ERROR

ASSERTION ERROR IS SOLVED
WE HAVE A NEW SCRIPT
EDIT : This Post has been edited to include the latest script
- it's Faster
- Easier to use
- No need for you to know when to restart

1. The script has been Re-Written
2. There is a new Script

Same location
https://mega.nz/folder/A8cEgQRI#5FSoMrCurJi71T7VkRPgYQ
it's called

--- Code: ---Rigol_MSO_LicensingUtility_2.10b.py
--- End code ---
Grab it

NOTE : It's Based on the 2.10b script by asp, I've made a few changes so it's easier to read and understand what's happening at each stage.
           But all in all asp did the heavy lifting.

NOW READ THIS CAREFULLY
(SOME COMMANDS HAVE BEEN CHANGED)

1. it doesn't really matter what version your scope is on

2. Delete and discard of all other scripts that you have and use this one moving forward
   (it will work for ANY MSO5000, MSO7000 and MSO8000)

3. Ensure your working directory has the script copied into it
   and delete all Priv.pem files from it

4. Assume your I.P. Address is  10.1.1.666
RUN -h  HELP and CREDITS and to familiarize yourself with the commands you will be using.

--- Code: ---Rigol_MSO_LicensingUtility_2.10b.py -h 10.1.1.666
--- End code ---

5. Assume your I.P. Address is  10.1.1.666
RUN -i  INFORMATION

--- Code: ---Rigol_MSO_LicensingUtility_2.10b.py -i 10.1.1.666
--- End code ---

6. RUN -r REGENERATE PRIV.PEM

--- Code: ---Rigol_MSO_LicensingUtility_2.10b.py -r 10.1.1.666
--- End code ---

NOTE : RESTART WILL HAPPEN AUTOMATICALLY
NOTE : ACTIVATION AND LICENSING WILL HAPPEN AUTOMATICALLY
NOTE : RESTART WILL HAPPEN AUTOMATICALLY
NOTE : YOU WILL BE ADVISED WHEN YOUR SCOPE IS RESTARTED AND READY AGAIN

NEW FEATURE ADDED ... REBOOT  (From Command Line) - No Need to press the button

--- Code: ---Rigol_MSO_LicensingUtility_2.10b.py --reboot 10.1.1.666
--- End code ---

ALSO, The Script runs much faster now,  Approx 1min for activation (not 15mins)

Now your scope will be activated and No Assertion Errors

After this

- Upgrade your scope to the latest version 1.3.3.0  if not already on it
- Do a Self Test
- Do a Self Cal

ENJOY

Hi. This is my MSO 5072. (firmware 00.01.03.00.01) Can I use the instructions from the first page of this thread? Will the DS5000Update.GEL file work?
Please, can you help me? Write a manual with backup and update options...

YES YOU CAN
This specific thread was created (Not for Licensing and Hacking) but for scope understanding and it's features.
But i have however done you guys the courtesy of including and updating the hacking progress

Here is what you need to do

On the first page of this thread there is a link.
HERE IT IS
https://mega.nz/folder/OsJyFY5A#8uS0fmepgBdNrXqvnxmFfg
This is the link to the videos and everything else

TO UPGRADE, YOU ONLY NEED THESE 3 FILES

MSO5000 DrMefistoLicensing Method.pdf   THE INSTRUCTIONS
MSO_Rigol_LicensingUtility_2.10b.py        THE PYTHON SCRIPT
UPGRADING TO 350MHZ (1.3.3.0)             THE GEL FILE

Now, Just briefly  the 1.3.2.2 file is still there JUST IN CASE anyone needs it, But you don't really need it anymore

YOU WANT TO DO THIS

- You are on 1.3.0.1    YOU WANT TO IMMEDIATELY (Before any hacking)  Upgrade legitamtely to 1.3.3.0
so Use the GEL file, put it on USB, go into your scope, Select LOCAL UPGRADE and let it run and restart

- After that, it'd be a good idea if you did a SELF CAL

- Then Crack out the instructions and read them,   Do your backups as instructed

- And finally you're gonna install python as instructed and then you're gonna License your scope and see FOREVER,
it'll be easy , don't worry

if you have any problem, don't hesitate to reach out and if it's still hard, and we need to do a 1 on 1 session, that's no problem.

The script has come a long way since it started,  it's now really easy to do and you don't need to really worry about restarts or hanging
or starting on a certain version or if you are on a version that is too low or whatever.
the only thing is, that VNC Viewer isn't supported until version 1.3.2.2   so you should upgrade to 1.3.3.0 to get all the supported versions.
You see, when the script looks at your scope (at the time is tries to license it) it gives you ALL AVAILABLE options,
Now if your version is lower there are some stuff that won't be available because of that.  so STEP 1 - Upgrade to the latest version


Do that, Tell me how you go with it
Now, i didn't really want to make this post about Activating, but i'll make an exception this one time so that others can briefly read it.
but all future stuff like this, I'm going to redirect to here
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/solutions-and-troubleshooting-hacking-the-rigol-mso5000-series-oscilloscopes/

Which is also why i haven't given you detailed information here and i just put it in bullet point form.
but feel free to PM me if you like or email me

nau:
I did everything according to the instructions in the files. Folder - UPGRADING TO 350MHz (1.3.3.0)
The step-by-step instructions are very detailed.
The update was successful! Thank you very much!

I'll drink to your health!!!
