Tinspire 3.9 Switching Pack
« on: October 23, 2014, 02:58:06 am »
Ok so heres my question

Right now I am on 3.1 ndless and have 3.6 switching pack. There is no tutorial for a switching pack between ndless 3.1 and 3.9 or 3.6 ndless and 3.9 etc.

Is it possible?
Can I use the same method used to install 3.6 swithcing pack but use 3.9 firmware instead?
Will it brick my CAS?
Or is it simply not possible?
- I love the speed of 3.9 and the ability to find the area of curves

If anyone has and hints or clues to whether there is a way to do this or if its possible it would be much appreciated

Thanks

Sorry, there is currently no 3.9 switching pack. If you got an older model (hardware revision A through I. See end of serial number) then you have to buy an RS232/TTL adapter on Ebay or elsewhere to flash your calc in order to downgrade from OS 3.9, then you can install OS 3.1 and/or 3.6 using the existing tutorials. If you got a newer model (hardware J and higher) then you are screwed (at least until Ndless developers figure out a way to install Ndless on OS 3.9, which might take several months).

In case you are still checking the site every now and then, an utility to downgrade from OS 3.9 has just been released at TI-Planet:  http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=172099&sid=fb36298f23817f0a43d587b870cf0c4b#p172099

I don't know if this would allow you to switch between OS 3.1 and 3.9 but if you ever need to use OS 3.9 for a while, then at least now you can go back afterward. Of course I always recommend sticking with OS 3.1 and 3.6, but I know that some schools force students to upgrade to the latest OS.
