content: Hi Guys, I've been asked to Post a SOLUTION to...HACKING THE RIGOL DS2000A SERIES OSCILLOSCOPE and to explain to everyone HOW TO GET70MHz Unlocked/Upgraded to 300 MHz Bandwidth andAll the Trial Options Unlocked/Upgraded to fully Licensed OptionsI had purchased a DS2072A a few months ago with 70MHz and Trial optionsMy Scope Currently Has 300MHz Bandwidth Unlocked, and all the Trials including 56 Mpts Memory DepthSo.. Here we go, I'm going to try to be as short as possible, However i want to do the respect of Giving Credit to those who made this Possible and to briefly give backgroundas to what's going on, so that you don't have to read and sift through, The Currently 229 page Monster Post, Known as[Sniffing the Rigols Internal I2C Bus]https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/sniffing-the-rigol_s-internal-i2c-bus/if your a tech junkie, like me and you want to know how it all came about and you want to know every step that was taken in the troubleshooting, be my guest,I've read it 3 Times, and i still like itbut.. for some, information is hard to find and it's all over the place. so...My intention for this post is to Provide a Smaller , Easier to read Post, So.. Here goes.THIS POST IS ONLY INTENDED FOR YOU IF YOU OWN OR ARE BUYING A DS200A SERIES RIGOL OSCILLOSCOPEit is not For DS2000 Series (Although some of the instructions can be used)it is not for the DS1000 SeriesIF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ THIS POST YOU CAN JUST EMAIL ME AND WE'LL DO A SKYPE SESSION AND I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT... OKNow.. The Whole thing Started like this...- Rigol Made a bunch of scopes and with all their scopes they decided that instead of Making 1 Scope, eg. DS2072A 70 Mhz then Making another scope that was capable of 100 MHzthen making another that was capable or 200MHz then another for 300MHz,They took the easy road and Created the DS2000A Series to be capable of 300MHz, HOWEVER, THE FIRMWARE WAS THE LIMITATION.This Firmware Meant that the scope could be locked to a Certain Bandwidth and hence they would charge you for differing bandwidths.so.. if you wanted 70MHz you paid about $1000 and if you later want to upgrade to 300 MHz you would pay around $3000All that is required to be done by the techie at Rigol or Emona Instruments is that he pops in a USB stick and Unlocks the Firmware Option to 300 MHz (it's piss easy and Takes about 5 Mins todo, Very tidy profit margin in that 5 Mins , wouldn't you agree LOL)So are we clear on this, All the DS2000A Scopes are capable of 300MHz Bandwidth, Not 200MHz it's 300MHz Definitely. So don't keep asking ok, YES.. IT'S 300MHZ- Now andyturk became a curious little chappy, butchered his scope FOR ALL OUR BENEFITS (so, let's all show the respect that is deserved), and discovered that the Rigol I2C BusHad Decodable information..- With the help of CYBERNET (Most Notably) and Many others, and about 299 Pages of Posting later and Dave Freaking out over how huge this Post became, and let's give a thanks to davefor the Side by Side Comparion of the DS1000 and the DS2000 Blog.so.. after all that WE HAVE A SOLUTION [and i have to admit, if you followed it, it was a really cool journey of discovery] Trust me, Read the entire post sometime from start to finish.anywhoo...it all started with the DS1000 Series, then it went to the DS2000Series then to the DS2000A Series, each series has it's own Max Bandwidth, i think with the DS1000 it was 200MHzAnyway, this post is Dedicated to the DS2000A incidentally , it's not the DS2000A-S i haven't tested this on that platform.So.. thats the History lesson and how it all came about, OHon other thing we need to show respect to, madcrow Even though he doesn't feel he is worthy of it,.. in my eyes , He is.After the solution came about, it was still complicated, madcrow was responsible for simplifying everything into one solution he called the DS2000A Upgrade Utility.because.... before ita) You had to Request the Drivers from Rigol, it's not like Just downloading a Graphics card driverb) Then there was the NiVisa software, Man that was a Headache, the NiVisa Site does not have a stable server, i tried 7 Times with a 115Mbps connection before i finally got a proper uncorrupted downloadc) there were dependancies that had to be installedd)There was a Public key and you had to know how to Modify the Firmware in order to make it compatible to your meterBOTTOM LINE, if you care to know how it all progressed... be My GuestRead the Post 229 Pages, and still out of controlhttps://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/sniffing-the-rigol%27s-internal-i2c-bus/3420/SO.. then MADCROW takes all this information and using his Software Programming skills [Thanks mate for making life that much easier, appreciate it]Madcrow creates hisDS200A - UPGRADE UTILITYhttps://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/ds2000a-upgrade-utility/Thanks to him YOU DON'T NEED TO DO A SINGLE THING,SO NOW.. MOVING FORWARD TO THE SOLUTIONThere are 2 Ways you can attack this1. The Easiest Way... Contact me on martin@btotechnicalexperts.com.au and i will arrange a skype session time with you and we'll get it done.2. Start here and follow the steps (Nothing to be scared off, no viruses, and the steps are really easy, YOU JUST NEED TO READ IT)https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/ds2000a-upgrade-utility/at the bottom of the first post by MADCROW there are THE FOLLOWING OPTIONSStandard edition (with installer) ------------------------------------------ NOT THIS ONEPortable editionVirusTotal analysis of the Portable editionMirrored onhttp://gotroot.ca, courtesy of VE7XEN:Standard edition (with installer) ---------------------------------------------------YOU SELECT THIS ONEPortable editionQuick note on thisYOU MAY get a message from your Antivirus Program saying that there is a Suspicious Pythia or Trojan or some bullshit (and it's just that, ... bullshit)it's a false positive, Ignore it and deactivate your Antivirus for the processHowever that only happens if you download the top one, You shouldn't have the issue with the bottom one.GUIDELINES TO FOLLOW TO AVOID TROUBLE1. YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING - a) a Windows Environment of Windows Vista or better, (i don't think Windows 8 is supported, i could be wrong), i did it with Windows 7, worked fine.a Linux Solution does exist, However its not automated, this Utility Runs of a .exe file, therefore it won't run under Linuxb) if you skyping me, You will obviously need Skype and a Webcam with Microphonec) You will need to start with your Scope at a Min Software Version of 1.0Most Scopes will now come out with 2.0, so your ok, the Current Firmware Version is 3.0 FYId) to ascertain your Hardware Version follow the following steps on your Scoped1) Find the Orange "HELP" Button at the top left of your DS2000A Scoped2) now that you've done look to the LEFT of that button, You will see 6 Buttons as follows..MEASURE / AQUIRE / STORAGE /CURSOR /DISPLAY /UTILITY these are your top level buttons, everything starts from here.d3) Press the "UTILITY" button and you will find that a Menu will pop outd4) Press the GREY UNMARKED BUTTON to the Right of the word "SYSTEM" You see how this works....... goodd5) Press the GREY UNMARKED BUTTON to the Right of the Word "SYSTEM INFO"You will get something that looks like thisSYSTEM INFORMATION-------------------------------------------------------Manufacturer: Rigol TechnologiesModel: DS2072ASerial: DS2D160000000 (THIS IS YOUR SERIAL NUMBER, DON'T POST IT ONLINE, It won't have zeros, it will have numbers ..

Don't sit there and be like ... is it frozen, Chances are , it's not, Just be patient, Make a cup of coffee and sit back and bethankful to Madcrow for the priviledge of NOT HAVING TO DO ANYTHING DIFFICULT and the fact that he just saved You $2000[Once again, madcrow, Massive Respect to you and Cybernet, thanks Dude and everyone else who participated who are too numerous to name, everyone put in a piece to the puzzle]2) Once all that is installed RESTART YOUR COMPUTER (No, it's not all bullshit, ACTUALLY RESTART YOUR COMPUTER NOW....it is important3) When following Madcrow's instructions on the utility, and when you plug in your Scope to the USB port on your computer, YOU MAY GET AN ISSUE OF NON DETECTING OF THE USB DEVICETroubleshoot as follows :3a) ENSURE THAT THE SCOPE IS PLUGGED INTO YOUR COMPUTER AND HAS A USB CABLE FROM COMPUTER TO SCOPE (Front USB Port)3b) Go to DEVICE MANAGER, and Confirm that the Driver has been installed for the scopeif you don't know how.. do thisSTART BUTTON /right Click on COMPUTERSelect MANAGESelect DEVICE MANAGERTHE DRIVER WILL SHOW UP AS "USB VIRTUALISATION DEVICE" (if there is NO Yellow Question Mark, Your Good to go)3c) if it still doesn't detect, THAT MEANS THE FOLLOWINGYour Scope has 2 USB Ports, 1 USB (A Type) in the Front and a USB (B Type) in the Rearthe front one is Defined as the PictBridge Port,the Rear is defined as the Computer PortYou can only use one at a time, so.. if you have the rear one selected and your plugged into the front one.. it logically, won't work.. RightON YOUR SCOPEgo to this menuUTILITY / IO SETTING / USB DEVICEWhen you have your USB A Cable end plugged into the front of the scope,this Value has to be set to PictBridgeDO THAT AND YOU WILL FIND THAT THE SCOPE WILL DETECT IN THE UPGRADE UTILITY SOFTWARE.f) YOU WILL NEED A USB STICK FORMATTED TO FAT32, it has to be completely blank, Basically any size will do , the file is really smallg) NOW.. HERE'S THE TRICKY PARTYOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PUT THE SCOPE INTO FIRMWARE UPDATE MODEThe Utility Explains it very clearly, But let me make it even clearerThe instructions areg 1) Turn OFF the Scopeg2) PRACTICE THIS BEFORE YOU TURN ON THE SCOPEg3)Don't worry if you stuff up, , worst case scenario, you go back to step g1 and start overg4) Put Your LEFT THUMB on the POWER BUTTONg5) Put Your RIGHT THUMB on the "HELP" buttonGOT THATNow, this is what you dofrom the moment that you press the Power button, You have HALF A SECOND to press the HELP BUTTON FIRMLY DOWNso.. it'sPress the Power Button and let goPress the Help Button Firmly and let goIF YOU DID IT CORRECTLY, the "SINGLE" Button will be SOLID ORANGEif you didn't, the scope will just boot up as per normalif it does start up normally, TUN OFF THE SCOPE AND REPEAT THE PROCESS .........DO IT FASTEROnce you got that down patRun Your Upgrade Utility softwarewith the scope connectedHave the USB Stick IN THE COMPUTER TO BEGIN WITHFollow the Instructionsthe Software will create the .GEL file for the firmware that you needThe software will Detect your USB stick and do thisthe Software will detect your Scope as wellAfter the .GEL file is created you need to put the USB stick into your Scopeand put the scope into upgrade modeONCE YOU PUT IN THE USB STICKif the scope detects the .GEL file and reads it correctlyYOU WILL SEE THE "CH1" Button Flash GREEN (This is normal, it means that communication is taking place and it's upgrading your meter)be patient it takes about 2-3 minutes (This is the part where you will be saying "How do i know when it's done")YOU WILL KNOW BECAUSE .... All of the lights on the Scope will come ONat that point, Keep Your Scope Connected to the Computer and Restart Your Scopethen the software will bring you to a page that will ask you to select OPTIONSObviously this is a No BrainerSelect the option that says something like300MHz + All Options (something to that effect)after all that is done and you hit the finish buttonRestart your scope and check the system info to see the followingTrial options should change to OFFICIAL VERSIONThe Model Number will ChangePossibly the Software Version will changeYou will See a BANDWIDTH 300M BandWidth official Version optionand that's thatIF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS LET ME KNOW, I'M HERE TO HELPSorry for the long Post, But at least it's not 229 Pages Until you get to a solution and Get Totally confused by the end of itBe Cool Guys and Enjoy Your ScopesAnd RememberThat the following people Saved you approx $2000 Perhaps more, if you consider all the options unlockedso..

content: Hey guys, I just bought the DS2072A-S and I wondering if anyone ever got the 300Mhz hack working with full options? If so, does the DS2000A Upgrade Utility work for getting the options/bandwidth? I see in the post above that it hasn't been tested ny BTO but I'd like to know if someone out there has done it and how.Thanks a bunch!

content: Hello and thanks for the guide.I have followed it, but still can't get it to work on my new scope.For some reason, the boot loader does not accept any .GEL versions other than the latest.This version (DS2000-03_00_01_03) gets loaded fine and the boot loader does what it's supposed to do (loading the file for a minute or so), but the other files just don't work.I have the scope with SINGLE light on, waiting for the USB stick, I insert it, but after a second or so all the lights are turned on, the same it does when the boot loader has completed loading the file, except that the actual loading is skipped.The MCU version shows 00.06, which is the newest and I suspect it has something to do with this behavior.I appreciate any help with this.Thanks.

content: My problem was that the latest version of the firmware doesn't accept older firmware with the bootloader.The solution is to get a memory dump with a JTAG adapter, use rigup 0.4 to get keys, then simply input the wanted key.And so I have the latest firmware and all options + 300MHz bandwidth.The info is here, you just have to be bold and use it.

content: That's Strange i didn't have that issue and i am able to downgrade to versions even though my scope is at the latest hackable version,, i did even try to load the latest version of firmware, IT DIDN'T WORK for the hack, and i was successfully able to install the previous version, Dave, i think is still on version 1.1 so i'm not sure why it's not working for you,if you like we can skype and see if we can work it out together, Maybe you have a corrupted GEL file or something,let me know what' you would like to doBe Cool

content: @BNRED777Even though it is a fact that i have not tested this Working solution with a DS2000A-S, but i have with a DS2000Athe idea behind, how the whole solution is possible is because Rigol Manufactured the Models to be identical within an entire series, but.. Limitedby Firmwareon that basis, there is not a big difference between the 2000A and the 2000A-Sso i would take a strong bet to say that My solution would work for youi would be willing to to say that i'm more confident that this solution would work on your DS2000A-S as opposed to working on a DS2000which , i think, has a different procedure, I'm not 100% Sure on thati would try it if i was in your shoes,Worst case Scenario, Just Reflash the unit back to the Lower Firmware, No BiggieI've done it several Times

content: Hi All.I've copied this question from another thread. Hope I'm not breaking any rules here!Now that I have "hacked" the scope (Now reports as a DS2302A) is it still possible to do a firmware upgradeto the latest version to fix the i2c decoding issue? It now shows firmware version 00.02.01There is a much newer version available.Or will the "revert" the scope back to a DS2072A with limited options?CheersNeddie

content: Guys. I can't help but think this is going to turn again into a 50 page post. Can't we have a separate post for questions (somehintg like "Rigol DS2000A hack Questions & Answers thread") and have this locked?After a couple of months importants answers are going to be deep inside this thread. Why not just have it locked but allow the original poster to add information as it becomes necessary?The idea is:-Keep the original 229 page thread for hacking and research comments-Keep madcrow's thread for questions and problems with his software, downloads and such-Keep this as a guide, keep it locked and short, but updatable, maybe a sticky, but I don't decide this sort of stuff-Make a questions and answers thread for all compatibility questions, helping newbies, questions about the process, and that sort of stuffBut the main thing is to keep the short post shortJust my 2 cents

I suggest as follows:Let's wait for someone to bring out a hack that will get past this as wellin the meantimeRoll back to version 2.01I've put the .GEL file that i used on a cloud for everyoneLet me know if it works for all you guyshttps://mega.co.nz/#F!EgRCzbjI!npObOMkOYY931Z6hJUsJ6gif it doesn't then that must mean that the file contains my serial keyand in that case you would need to request from Rigol Directlythat they Supply with a Firmware Version 2.01 for your meter with your serial numberconsidering that you bought it, i don't see why, LEGALLY SPEAKING this should be a problemthey can't force you to stay on a firmware versionyou could tell them that you had issues and you would just feel better if you reverted to the previous version.Let me know how it goesthanks guys

The Upgrade Utility downgraded the original FW 00.03.00.01.03 to version 00.02.01.00.03. Can I upgrade back to ver. 3.00 without loosing all sweets?Thanks again.

SUCCESS !!! Now I have DS2072A converted to DS2302A with all options and newest firmware 3.00.SP1FYI, here is the recap of what I've done:I followed the original upgrade procedure in this thread (see my previous post). Worked great but downgraded my FW from 3.00 to 2.01.Then I downloaded 3.00 FW (file DS2000-03_00_01_03.7z) fromwww.gotroot.ca/rigol/Flashed 3.00 FW using USB stick (you know the drill - POWER, HELP, plugging in the USB stick, hypnotizing the blinking CH1 for about 3 min.)Rebooted the scope (this time I didn't hold F6 button on the scope during reboot)That's it, the new firmware accepted all previous changes made by the DS2000A Upgrade Utility

content: I've just received my DS2072A-S. It says its got F/W 00.30.00 on it and Hardware 2.0.I tried to use the Upgrade Utility but it doesn't seem to do anything when I insert the USB stick after turning on and pressing help. Maybe it's not just Hardware 2.2 that hampers things.EDIT - I should have tried a different memory stick, although the first one I used worked with saving screen shots I have managed to load the Custom F/W with a different stick, however as mentioned earlier the Upgrade utility doesn't see the Scope via USB to download the keys.It first said there was a problem installing drivers but now seems to recognise in Device Manager a USB Test Measurement Device (IVI Foundation inc.) and can see the Scope as an unspecified device in devices and printers (and called DS2072). It also connects to Marmads utility ok and USB mode is set to Computer NOT Picbridge.EDIT AGAIN!! - After not getting the utility to work I used the instructions athttp://www.gotroot.ca/rigol/(D2072 Unlocking Guide) with the Hex editor etc and it all worked fine.Many thanks to Teneyes for the shove in the right direction!

Some guys here tell, thats run with the DS2000A Upgrade Utility Tooland the Firmware flash with my FW Version. It's the USB Flash only the problem?many thanksEdit: When i copy the Version DS2000-03_00_01_03.7z on the 128MB Stick, the CH1 lamp blink for 3min, but it's the same version from factory.

MSO 2072 A model (having logic analyzer) runs on HW 2.2 and is hackable only via JTAG.

I was looking at purchasing one of these but thought the pricing was a bit too much for my budget (the 200Mhz or 300Mhz versions) and was investigating other options when I stumbled on the hack threads.For the most current firmware (00.03.03.00.00 SP1?) and hardware versions (2.2?), would we be using the Bildschirmkopie sw to get the firmware dump via LAN connection and then using the rigup 0.4 tool to find the lock codes (just as the prior 2 posts indicate)?I just wanted to check to see if that was the most up to date method for hacking the DS2072A.Thanks!

I read a few people having this issue, so I am wondering if it's down to the firmware I am running, or if I should send this unit back.Sometimes it will lock up every 5 minutes or so, and sometimes it will work without issues for 20+ minutes.My Sw version is: 00.03.00 SP1Hw version: 2.0Anyone else having lock up issues with their DS2000 ?edit: I requested the 00.03.03 firmware from Rigol to see if that resolves my issue.edit2: So I just upgraded to 03.03 SP1, been running it for the last 10 minutes, so far so good.

content: For what it's worth, I had a DS2072A with 00.03.00 SP1 H/W version 2.0 which refused to downgrade its OS, and therefore wouldn't work with the DS2072AUpgrader, but I was able to upgrade following the steps from JSE009's post (page 3 of this thread).One note, I found that RigolBildschirmkopie application was quite buggy both on Windows and OSX, so although it eventually worked to dump the memory, it crashed every time I tried to paste the key SCPI command window. I assume that this is the same reason that JSE009 used UltraSigma to upload the new keys.After this, my scope now shows all of the options unlocked, the bandwidth set to 300MHz and the model number now shows DS2302A.Thanks to everyone who put such a lot of effort into getting all this to work.

I would like to be able to upgrade the scope in the future but only if there is a way to restore it, if the upgrade goes bad (I have had this experience in the past with flash memory, BIOS's etc.). Is there a way of copying the existing firmware off the scope and saving it? I understand there is a "dongle" that can do this. Can anyone point me toward said "dongle" and give me basic instructions on how to do the copy/save? Thanks forANYhelp. P.S. I'm 77 and on a limited income.

At the beginning of your article you state"THIS POST IS ONLY INTENDED FOR YOU IF YOU OWN OR ARE BUYING ADS200ASERIES RIGOL OSCILLOSCOPEit isnot For DS2000 Series(Although some of the instructions can be used)it is not for the DS1000 Series"So right off the start you have me confused. Is it for the DS2072A or not? I would like to do the hack in the future, when the trial period runs out. Is there a way to restore the scope if the hack should go badly? I can follow instructions well, so I'm not concerned with that aspect of the hack. Thank you for your reply.

You can either use your scope's interface to enter the key or use Rigol Bildschirmkopie LAN/USB to send an SCPI command to install the options. I used the program to save time as the Rigol's onscreen keyboard is slow. If you opt to use the SCPI command, remove the dashes from the chosen key.Return to Rigol Bildschirmkopie LAN/USB and create a new SCPI command::SYST:OPT:INSTALL A_KEY_FROM_OPTIONS_WITHOUT_DASHESThis worked for me. Tell me if it worked with your scopes and what software/hardware version you had.The other methods didn't work. I couldn't downgrade my firmware so the upgrade utility failed and for some reason, ncat couldn't connect to my scope and timed out.Good luck.

If both codes are accepted, your DS2072A is unlocked.However if non of the above codes work, it is possibly blocked by the SP2 firmware. Try to downgrade to the 03.03.SP1 firmware, and apply the same codes from above again.The downgrade process is best invoked with the help button during power-on of the scope.If downgrading is not possible, RIGOL has blocked the license submission via SCPI, and can only done via a .LIC file.

I'm not even sure if the NSEH code has ever been tested on a MSO2302A.RIGOL now sells the DS2000A series with all options installed for free. After purchase you can apply a .LIC file via the USB key and unlock all options. They say you need the 03.03.SP2 software to make this work. See for instance Batronix or Eleshop or AR benelux.

For the most part very straight forward procedure. No real issues besides a couple little things that I ran into. Make sure you have a good solid connection to your LAN when downloading the 32Mb memory dump. For some reason I would get about half way through and my WiFi on the laptop would drop out and would have to start over. Problem went away as soon as I connected in with the cable. Also make sure you have administrative privileges when you open the windows command prompt for steps 9 to 11. Great work guys and thanks again for all who were involved!

content: EdoFede,I bought a DS2072A-S (identical to non -S version, just has the builtin generator) a little over a year ago and did the upgrade at that time to 300MHz + All Options. I installed the newest firmware you just got from Rigol yesterday and and still have all options activated. The guide you linked to from earlier in the thread is the correct one, and you can uninstall all the options and bandwidth upgrade with a single command ":SYSTEM:OPTION:UNINSTALL" at any time. I have been playing around with the different codes recently and so have uninstalled, reinstalled, changed to different ones quite a few times over the last couple of months. As far as I know it does not matter what version of the firmware you have installed, the hack will work. Early on in the search for how to unlock the options you would have to have a specific firmware to do the unlock, but that was because it was the firmware itself that had been modified to allow the unlock to work, with the procedure you linked to that is no longer the case. You can install the new firmware, then do the hack. Or do the hack then install the new firmware, it doesn't really matter. When you do install new firmware upgrades you do not need to uninstall the hack first, you can do the upgrade with the hack in place. The procedure really is as simple as it sounds, I have not heard of anyone have problems with it. Go forth with confidence!Hardware Ver: 2.0Software Ver: 00.03.04.02.01 AKA 00.03.04SP2Edit: Corrected rigol model I own.Edit 2: Wanted to add that Rigol have been aware of the "upgradeability" of their scopes for a long time now, if they wanted to stop it I'm sure they would have by now. Or at least patched the hole that allows it to work, but they have not.

You install the 200mhz-all option key first, followed by the 'NS8N' 300mhz key.Honestly I have no idea if this is required or not, but I tried it and it worked the first time. I have also seen this mentioned in another thread somewhere without step by step instructions.Went smoothly, didn't have to mess with the firmware at all. Just hook the scope up to LAN, a couple downloads, copy and paste, and some cmd prompt.

content: Hello.I would like to thank everyone involved in the unlocking procedure who contributed here. So, I will also give my contribution and tell my story.A few days ago while updating the DS2072A firmware for the first time, there was a power failure and when I turned the oscope on again, it simply did not boot. Either the old firmware was corrupted of there was no firmware at all anymore. So I began to panic because tough the device was purchased in the US, it was taken to my Country and there is no RIGOL dealer around here. In the probable worst scenario, I would have to send it back to US for a reprogramming. I tried to boot with a firmware installed firmware, but it did not work.But then, things started to get brighter for me.Frustraded by not finding any documentation on the RIGOL side about this, and also by finding very, very few information in the internet, after days of searching, I found a post by some guy somewhere I do not remember now, in which he mentions about a procedure involving pressing the 'help' button twice for a reset. Guess what, I did it and when I inserted the pendrive, it began go flash channel 1 for about 5 to 10 minutes. And after that, I removed the pendrive, restarted the oscope and voilá... Back to life again with a new firmware!So, I got excited in trying something I had avoided for all this time for a complete lack of time and little interest... Unlocking the hidden features to hack the oscilloscope.In about 3 days, I could read all information about this, coming from this forum and also from SONSIVRI.The procedures in reality were not rocket science but they were not easy either.In fact the procedure desccribed in the sonsivri site regarding the command prompt got me stuck when I followed step 7, going back to 'rigup' to send/receive the license and codes info I got from the command prompt.As I had read tons of documents and visited several sites reading the posts by many people, I decided to post the procedure that worked for me and it's shorter and simpler than the one posted in the sonsivri site. Only a few steps need to be followed instead of the several listed there.1 - Get the german app 'RigolBildschirmkopie' (sorry I have no link at hand right now, but do a google search and it will be easily found).2 - Connect your oscope in the LAN or better, connect it to your computer via USB. (I spend like forever, trying to make the oscope visible in windows net only to find after more than 10 hours that this is actually not needed. The rigup app only needs the IP address to 'sense' your oscope. But I think using the USB procedure is more practical).3 - Go to SCPI dump option and make the memory dump by copying the command which is featured in the app list. It will take about 1 to 2 minutes to dump the 32MB of information. Some member in a forum reported this would take 5 to 10 minutes. This is incorrect.4 - Once you have the data, save it with whatever name you like, but make sure that you save in the same folder where the 'RIGUP ' version 0.4 is intalled.5 - Then comes the only tricky part. DO NOT START THE RIGUP APP. It will call a command prompt and will be gone in 2 seconds. You need to call the windows command prompt and GUIDE THE COMMAND PROMPT TO EXACTLY WHERE YOUR RIGUP APP IS INSTALLED. So for instance <C:\Users\JohnDoe\Downloads\rigup-0.4\rigup-0.4> in this case, this is featured twice because the app when unzipped builds two folders.Right after this you insert the command "rigup 2072A <your saved file.scpi>. In my case, the command was 'rigup 2072A memoryDump.scpi'.Then a lot of data is displayed and all the codes appear with its corresponding licence keys.6 - Now simply get the code you want and write down the licence key to later insert in the oscope editor. In my case it was NS8H which corresponds to a full upgrade with all features turning it in a 300MHz machine. Copy the four groups of 7 digits.THIS IS ALL YOU NEED TO GET THE IMPLEMENTATION. NO NEED TO FOLLOW ANY OTHER 7 TO 8 STEPS LISTED IN THE SONSIVRI FORUM.Start you oscope, go to system>system info>editor and insert the licence key you copied. When you are done, hit 'apply' and in less than 2 seconds a message informing it was intalled shows up in the screen. And finally go to 'intalled' option. All features show up there.And when you return to system info, there is no DS2072A no more. NOW DS2302 IS FEATURED AS THE CURRENT MODEL.Hope this helps a lot of people.In case you need more details, go to the orignal sonsivri post and stop in step 7. You do not need any other steps.Regards.

content: Cross posting from the old big thread.....Can someone help me out to restore the serial number of a DS2072A ?I tried to do some of the hacks in the distant past and this lead me to a unit with serial number DS2A0000000001.The MAC address on the LAN interface is also screwed up. It's 46:46:46:46:46:46. I assume this must be uniquely generated from the serial number somehow.The device is currently at firmware DS2000(DSP)Update_00.03.04.01.00I think if I could get hold of a memory dump from someone with a working unit (and what their serial number is) I could write back correct values into the scope with my own number. Hopefully the other keys in my system's memory are not screwed up. Thanks!

content: Keep in mind guys that even if the process is a royal pain to do, the memory dump via JTAG cannot be blocked by the firmware.Therefore, you can *always* do the upgrade, but you'll have to open your scope and use a JTAG interface to your PC. I posted an instruction guide a while back for how I unlocked my MSO2072 to a MSO2302 with all options. Honestly, the hardest part is carefully unsticking the warranty sticker without damaging it.

content: Hi guys,About 18 months ago I followed (the long version) of this post and ultimately hacked my DS2202A Rigol scope successfully. This hack has worked for me very impressively, however of late (no doubt due to parameter changes I have made on the scope) the scope has now encountered a known bug (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/rigol-ds1054z-freeze-up-bug/25/) that causes the user interface to routinely lock up. I thought it high time to upgrade the firmware on my scope, which presently sits at 00.03.00.SP1. My question is, will I be able to upgrade my firmware successfully, without disrupting my presently unblocked features, or will I have to run through the whole process once again? And if I can safely upgrade the firmware, where do I get a copy of it from (aside from contacting Rigol, which I seem to remember before was a bit troublesome and not as simple as downloading a copy of the latest firmware from their website)?Again, many thanks for your work here guys. Very impressed.

Rigup won't be able to extract the keys, since the dump does not contain the keys. Any help is appreciated.I finally got the following keys: RC5KEY1, RC5KEY2, XXTEAKEY, PUBKEY AND PRIVKEY. Rigolbildschirmkopie provides good memory dump. The problem is with rigup 0.4.2. It does not provide the keys. I used rigup o.1 and it provides the mentioned keys. You just need to run rigup license yourkeys.txt NSxx. replacing yourkeys.txt with the name of the file that has all the keys in it. also replace xx in NSxx with the options that you want.All well. Finally, my DS2072A, sw 03.05, hw 2.3, was unlocked. Now i can have my B&K precisions 2160 (analog, only 60 mHz, 2 channels) to retire after 25+ years.

content: I tried to apply the latest firmware to my MSO2072A (MSO2302A) today - I inserted the USB drive with the .gel file and it was recognized with an offer to upgrade - I pressed the  button but the progress bar got about 10% of the way across and then stopped so, after about 30 minutes, I gave up and removed the USB drive and cycled power. Now it seems to be bricked, I get the RIGOL / Ultravision splash screen displayed continuously and that's it. I've tried the 5th button down on the left pressed repeatedly and double-press of the help button, with and without a new USB drive with the gel file on it. Any ideas? I recovered it, here's the steps to follow...1. With the USB drive removed... press the  button several timesimmediately as you switch onandbeforethe Rigol screen appears - if the Rigol screen appears you failed to get into 'Update' mode and need to repeat this step.2. If you're successful in getting into 'Update' mode, you will have a black screen and the top right  button will be illuminated.3. Now insert the USB drive with the new .gel file on it and watch the  button, it should flash and, if your USB drive has an activity LED, it should start flashing too.4. After about 10 minutes, the [Run-Stop] Button will light up in addition to the  button but there are no messages on screen5. Now turn power off, remove USB, and power on - scope should boot up normally - I saw the new version was 00.03.05, previously it was 00.03.00.SP1I think my original issue was that I originally used a flakey USB drive. I also performed a self-cal. The instructions I followed are the second link on this page...http://beyondmeasure.rigoltech.com/acton/fs/blocks/showLandingPage/a/1579/p/p-001a/t/page/fm/0I can also confirm that the upgrade licenses have all been preserved through all of the above.

And to be clear, you don't need to install separate options for bandwidth and keys, there is a single option key that you install and it enables everything at once.Edit: For anyone else that finds this, at this point I'm pretty sure the code I struck through above is not the correct one for the DS2000A scopes. Pretty sure it should be the NS8H for all options plus 300MHz. You can also find this code mentioned on one of the first replies on this page (pg 5?) above.

content: Hello,I bought my DS2072A last year in September from Batronix (Excellent seller, I recommend heartily this company!!). Yesterday, after many reading on this forum and others, I decided to unlock my DS2072A to a DS2302A. With succesfull on a DS2072A SV 00.03.05.SP1 and HV is 2.3.I used RigolBildschirmkopie to make the MemoryDump. After that with Rigup 0.4 I found the four keys from the scpi file.I choosed to enter manually the NS8H key to unlock my Oscope to a 300MHz version. Tested with a generator, it works fine.It remain me to thanks all the people involved in this procédure. This a very great job for the community. Thanks also to RIGOL !Thanks a lot to all..........

I followed the advice about updating firmware first and got myself into the situation where your firmware is too new to load the firmware that dumps the ROM. I finally followedhttps://www.bambach.biz/projects/elektro/upgrade-rigol-ds2072a-to-ds2302a/howto to get it done. Honestly seems to be the easiest route, if only I hadn't found it last. The scope accepted all options and 200Mhz, the 300Mhz fails though.Cory

content: Last week I decided to update the firmware of my DS2072A (was 03.05.03) to the latest available version 03.05.04.Update process went successfully, except one thing: now the oscilloscope in its Help menu doesn't show the pictures with graphical description of measurement functions meas-F-buttons for HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL automated measurements (on the left side from the LCD). The oscilloscope did show these graphical descriptions with previous firmware version. After upgrading it shows only greenish or reddish rectangles instead of pictures.The thing is that the oscilloscope could be hacked (to obtain optional stuff) by the previous owner - and I don't know by what method it was done. Seems that all options stay, but the pictures (which could be useful for educational purposes, for "young players") are gone.Can I do something with it to bring that pictures with the descriptions back? Lack of them is kinda upsetting.Thank you in advance!

I was always wondering why I don't see my version on the official web page, thought it was a "special threat" for those who actually bought the thing. At least now I know... I have a Chinese scope regardless of the fact that I live on the opposite side of the planetor the opposite END of the planet, for those who believe in flat earth - gotta be respectful and politically correct, right ?Anyway, if I manage to remember my credentials, I'll try to dig up some release notes. I am almost 100% positive I've seen them. If it helps, I've got mine with the 3.06 preinstalled. I bought it recently, unboxed it myself.

content: It’s all good now; I eventually found a couple of ancient treads on EEVblog from 2013 which described the firmware update procedure using the help button for another model scope; so fingers crossed that it would work for this model and it did...I put the same USB drive in the scope with the same 3.06 firmware file, powered on the scope while hitting the help button.Only the CH1 light came on (which was a change from previous; YA! 😊) so I left it a while, eventually a whole lot more lights came on so I left it a while longer.There was never anything displayed on the screen the whole time (well not that I saw anyways); which was concerning!Anyway, eventually I powered it down and took out the USB drive and turned it back on; expecting for it to be still stuck!But to my surprise and huge relief it actually booted and is working fine now; all options and frequency upgrade are reporting for duty 100%.AND even better it’s reporting software version: 00.03.06. So, I am very happy about that. 😊Screenshot of 300 MHz sinewave from Anritsu. The sinewave starts to get pretty ugly above 300 MHz TBH but 300 MHz it's all good given it was a 70 MHz scope a few days ago.I'm so inspired by all of this I might just splash out on another RIGOL scope; a lot of things work better than my other "K" brand scope and it's a 1/4 of the price.
