Hello,
Firstly, I want to apologize for creating such a long post. I would be grateful if someone can assist me. I recently joined the EEVBlog Forum. I just purchased a Rigol MSO5074 oscilloscope. After reading the forum thread on "Hacking the Rigol MSO5000 series oscilloscopes," I came to the conclusion that there are several methods for enhancing the scope's functions, each of which depends on the scope's firmware version. To be completely honest, I'm not sure which process to use and feel a little lost. due to the fact that every process I have seen so far references another. If someone could point me in the direction of the hacking procedure designed for the scope firmware I have, I would be very thankful. Is there a website or page where I can get the entire procedure outlined in such a way that even someone like me who lacks experience may follow step by step to complete this task? 😅 Here is some information about my scope:
Model: MSO5074
Firmware: 00.01.03.02.02
Harwdare: 01.01.000
Boot: 2018.06.27
Build: 2022-12-05 10:31:33
I find it puzzling that the Rigol website lists the most recent firmware version as 00.01.00.00.01.
https://www.rigol.eu/SUPPORTS/software-firmware-download.htmlbut
The firmware of my scope is version 00.01.03.02.02.
However, a different Rigol website states that the most recent version is 00.01.03.03.00.
https://www.rigolna.com/products/digital-oscilloscopes/mso5000/Additionally, I've read a few threads that claim the hack is no longer workable if the firmware version is newer than "01.03.00.01."
I'm a little confused and puzzled right now. It's also possible that I haven't discovered the appropriate blog post. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🙏
In addition, is it possible to back up the current firmware, the licensing key, and all other required data so that, in the event that the hacking attempt fails, I may revert to the default settings?
