I flashed Gizmo's firmware to my 1052e HW 58 and I now have access to the 2ns time scale but the bandwidth still seems to be about 65MHz.
I also get screen flash while the menu is up and the fft is displayed. I did the load factory defaults to see if it fixed the flashing but nothing changed and I'm not sure if doing that put the bandwidth back to default.

In the last post by omegat the images look like the extra bandwidth was enabled. Is there anything that needs to be done other than the firmware flash?

Unless something has changed, check first post in this thread

From what I understand the steps in post #1 are no longer needed. see posts starting at 1200.

Hey all.
Been a long time lurker, but had a bit of a hiatus after realising my Rigol had the 3.01 firmware.
On a whim, I came back, and noticed all my problems are gone (nice !).

I've downloaded gizmo's DS1000EUpdate.rar file, but the md5 I get on it is "f39c4b0b66ad484e4ae37cc8fe66bb31".

I've download it multiple times, and get the same result. I've been using WinMd5, and also tried MD5Calculator.
Same deal each time.

Any ideas what's going on ?

(also just tried md5sum on a linux environment)

Hi lordvader,

this is a RAR compressed file. You have to extract the DS1000EUpdate.RGL first.

Thanks !

Just got a DS1052e from tequipment.net (rev 58), and the byte swapped firmware worked flawlessly. Did make sure to md5 and crc32 check the file before updating.

Thanks!

Anyone else think the fan is still a bit loud?

On my unit (not hacked)
Purchased april 2013...It starts pretty quiet. But over the next 30 seconds it gradually speeds up.

I've just recieved my new Rigol DS1052E from the distributor.

SN: DSET1509.......

soft version: 00.04.00

What does this mean? New HW version?

I can confim that the firmware hack works with my version.

Hi All!
This is my fisrt post on EEVblog

I think I will apply Gizmo's firmaware to increase BW up to 100MHz after I checked that just one byte changed

diff <(xxd DS1000EUpdate.RGL.mod) <(xxd DS1000EUpdate.RGL)
7574c7574

Has anyone figured out the 150mhz bit flip?

Yup, mine does the same. Figure I'll just replace the fan after I'm sure it won't die in early life. =) And really, it's not THAT loud now that it's up on a shelf.

I would love to do this to my scope but I am having problems downloading DS1052_to_DS1102.zip. I also don't see anything telling me what to do with my scope that is software version 00.03.01

mlax · « **Reply #1289 on:** June 16, 2013, 06:16:23 pm »

If you mod DS1052E to DS1102E, do you need to buy new probes or are the old ones OK ??

p.s: I'm sorry if it was asked already, i didn't find it

No, the stock Rigol probes are good to 150-200mhz. That said, I prefer the cheap $13 chinese ones I got off eBay reviewed here: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/reviews/cheap-oscope-probe-quality/

Hello everyone,
Thank-you for this thread. My initial power up firmware version was 00.04.00. I have done the Gizmo upgrade and received the 'updata successed, please restart' message. I have power cycled the 1052E and when the start up banner is shown, I only see 00.04.00 listed as the version, not 00.04.01. Is this what I should expect since earlier threads have noted a 00.04.01 firmware version.
Thanks for any guidance that can be provided,
MWP.

staze · « **Reply #1292 on:** June 23, 2013, 08:39:52 pm »

correct, the firmware version doesn't change. if you have access to the 2ns/div setting, then it worked! =)

mwpeters75 · « **Reply #1293 on:** June 26, 2013, 04:02:13 am »

Thank-you for the reply Staze, much appreciated.
I also found that pressing the ch1 button twice, the ch2 button twice, and then menu once, I got a longer firmware number which showed 00.04.00.01. May I presume that this is the 4.01 firmware then and that this is the latest?
Best regards,
Michael

staze · « **Reply #1294 on:** June 26, 2013, 06:28:29 am »

correct. and as far as I know, it's the latest version available.

mwpeters75 · « **Reply #1297 on:** June 27, 2013, 01:38:59 pm »

Now that is interesting: Maomi84's firmware is newer than mine. 00.04.01.00.02 vs 00.04.00.00.01. I do have the 2ns horiz tim/div rate.

Does Gizmo need to do a new patch for this firmware? What do you make of this Staze? Thank-you, Michael

staze · « **Reply #1298 on:** June 27, 2013, 03:47:50 pm »

he's got a slightly newer firmware. Yes, Gizmo would need to make a new one.

Gizmo?

samertje · « **Reply #1299 on:** June 27, 2013, 09:55:29 pm »

Good day to you all!

First off: thank you Gizmo and others for this 3+year thread!
Went through it and got dizzy after a while

For version 00.00.04.00.01:
1) is the serial hack still working (like shown in Dave's video)? Links?
2) where does the USB hack start in this thread for my version?

Thanks again guys and keep on hacking

Sam
