We're almost at it, people!

All modding tools have now been released on TI-Planet, and the tutorial is going to be released soon. :D



What was the trick?
On Nspire prototypes, the Boot1 can be erased and reprogrammed because of just one additional pin connected.

Just imagine what could be achieved on production Nspire if someone managed to connect that pin...

Darn that is great !  Hopefully this comes handy for people who ends up being stuck with those models.

Or, how was it programmed without that connection ?

Edit: Maybe by production time they were programmed on a machine in an assembly line fashion, then soldered on the board .
