So, what's the countdown before OS 4.0 (or something else) comes out and block both downgrades and Ndless? We all know that TI was monitoring TI-Planet and Omni every second so they can examine the new Ndless thoroughly to fix the exploits now used within hours. :P

Well, the community has gotten past them every single time so far. :P Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if their new OS version wasn't too far off...

True, but it takes longer and longer everytime. Notice for example how Ndless 3 came out in 2011. >.<

DJ: not really longer actually. OS 3.2.0 didn't include a downgrade protection, we choose not to waste effort upgrading Ndless. Things changed with OS 3.2.4, the new calcs being sold with it and the new hardware revision, but this is more recent.

can we remove the downgrade protection on 3.6 now than we have ndless? or does the boot2 stay the same?

Yes. This tutorial explains you how to do so. It is only available in French for now but I am sure they'll translate it soon.
However, removing the downgrade protection is not everything. If you have an "old" model, then it's ok, you can do whatever you want (you see what I mean). But if you have a newer hardware revision, then you'll be able to install the OS 3.1 after removing the downgrade protection, but with some displaying problems.

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

The tutorial is available in English if you have it set as your site language (upper right corner).

Oh right, I forgot about OS 3.2 >.<. Still, it takes a while until an exploit is found and a working version of Ndless can be pulled out, so maybe one day there will be an OS with absolutely no exploit, although the next OS after it might open a new one through introduced bugs.

It was not at the time I posted, but it got translated in the meantime (see, I said "It is only available in French for now but I am sure they'll translate it soon", and here, it is translated).
