Ok, so I tried unlocking my new MSO2072A (3.00 SP1, HV 2.2, SN DS2F1629*****) using the DS2000A Upgrade Utility, but that did not work, So now I guess I'm gonna have to use the JTAG memory dump method. I really didn't want to because I'm afraid of messing something up permanently, but I as far as I've seen there are currently no alternatives.
I've already read most of this HUGE thread, and I guess I can say I understand the basic logic of it all, but the specifics are a bit over my head.
So now I have to order a JTAG adapter (and wait weeks for it to arrive). Is there any difference which one I get? I'm not really looking for the cheapest one, but one that would make the process simpler and therefore reducing the chances of me bricking my beloved new scope.
