I'd be happy to write one myself, or even start a separate thread with all the instructions, plus a video showing me doing it with my scope. I just need to understand which method is better, and figure out which firmware is which etc. I guess I'll try and slug through the whole thread.
I have read most of the thread, but it's 61 pages!! It's crazy. And where is the summary? I can't find a summary that includes both methods and the steps required.

So, is this simply because I have not yet loaded the hacked FW which would enable the correct response, or something else I'm doing wrong?

In the interest of future n00bs, please do. Write a summary of the installation procedure that is easy to follow for others I mean. Otherwise you are just another "me too" never to be heard of again after they fixed stuff for themselves.See enough of that shit in other threads already.
Notably the Flir E4 thread.
It's now Firmware version 00.01.09 for the DP800 Series including the DP832 (non A). And I understand that it's not good news with all options lost, and no way to go back to FW 06, or 08.
Note: This Firmware has been provided to DP832 (non A) users by Rigol for those that had requested a FW Update for their units.
Ref. RIGOL DP832 Power Supply - firmware upgrade, « Reply #36 on: Yesterday at 03:38:23 AM » Although I don't think Rigol supplied this particular person his FW 09.
In the post you reference, Sebastian states "the Riglol Keys don't work" --- which is no different from 01.08 where they didn't work either (and why people downgraded to 01.06 to install the keys and then upgraded to 01.08).
How exactly are you concluding "all options lost"?
The trick with getting the options in 1.06 and then upgrading to 1.08 never worked for me. If I would install all the options in 1.06 and upgrade to 1.08 everything would be lost, not just the trigger option as other people here report for there units. If I would then go back to 1.06 the options would be there again without entering the codes again.
FW1.09 is essentially the same as 1.08, none of the bugs are fixed, the only difference is that you can not flash older versions anymore because of the new bootloader,
by the way, has anyone tried anything (hack/poke around) on the newer DS1xxx series?
Read what I wrote to you on the previous page..
If it is the same version as the last, just keep it, but don't let it stop you from upgrading.
I used an 4gb sandisk, worked very good, but the rigol is kinda picky about the usb stick, and that is also documented in the official firmware upgrade doc. (It states that you need to test the usb sticks on the rigol before you attemt to start upgrading)

I think that USB memory stick compatibility must have been the issue, requiring three flashing attempts. The smallest stick I could find around here was 8GB, so that's what I used. I've read that the stick should be less than 4GB, or less than 8GB, depending on which source you read, so I knew I was close to the edge. I did read (some of us actually DO read instructions) about inserting the stick and looking for "USB detected" as a test. That test worked fine, and I was able to print a screen image to the stick, so I thought I was good-to-go. I will have to find a 2GB or 4GB stick someplace. (Perhaps one can't buy them that small anymore?). But in the meantime I wanted to keep Zombie28's FW and use the scope without worrying about performance issues. Thanks.
Hey Guys,
Finally got around to hacking my oscilloscope (DS2072A) and it went well, I have enabled 300MHz bandwidth with all options.
I decided to document my process with a good amount of detail and have created a PDF. I recommend anyone who would like
to hack their to view this. I had to upload the file elsewhere because of the 2mb imposed on us my eevblog.
The document was generated from information collected from this thread, thanks to all those whom contributed.
If there are any recommendations/revisions for the document let me know.
All the Best.

mediafire is not happy with me trying to download the PDF ...
will you be so kind to email it to me? 3roomlab at gmail dort com :p
by the way, has anyone tried anything (hack/poke around) on the newer DS1xxx series?
tnx giggy, got it.
(yes i was able to see it online, but i cant R-click to save as)
(and maybe since im un-decided over which DSO to get, maybe i should just get the one with the better graduation which displays slightly more like an agilent)
tnx giggy, got it.
