Many of you chose the TI-Nspire CX for back to school 2013, hoping to be able to play Game Boy Advance games or to store scrollable and zoomable images with mViewer, and therefore many of you have been disappointed not to be able to use the required tools anymore.
Indeed, Texas Intruments banned community jailbreaks Ndless and nLaunch on their new TI-Nspire CX hardware revision J and later.
But apparently, this was not enough for TI. With the release of the OS 3.6, TI tried has tried to ban Ndless and nLaunch from older TI-Nspire models and hardware revisions too.
In fact, once installed OS 3.6 :
- forbids you to downgrade to any older OS version including the 3.1 version required by Ndless
- installs the new Boot2 3.2.4 which is incompatible with nLaunch
- self-destructs itself after its first start if any resource is modified or absent from the installation file (like Boot2 3.2.4 or samples removed with TNOC), but still increases the minimum installable OS version to 3.6, making the calculator unusable until you accept to install the full OS 3.6 with its Boot2 3.2.4...
The first workaround was out within 24 hours after the discovery of OS 3.6, as a patched OS for the TI-Nspire CX CAS to be used with nLaunch, followed a week later by a similar patch for the TI-Nspire CX.
So, for the first time in the history of the TI community, this was a widely illegal infringement because of the distribution of modified executable copyrighted code from TI.
Fortunately, Excale and Lionel Debroux analyzed the modified versions of OS 3.6 and ported all necessary chances in a new version of nLaunch! nLaunch now dynamically patches the OS 3.6 when detected and there is no use of the counterfeit anymore! {:thumbsup:}
Today we finally released a version of our Ndless/3.6 switching pack using the new nLaunch and all links to counterfeits have been removed from the site.
This pack will enable TI-Nspire still able to use the OS 3.1:
- to use the new OS 3.6 without having to give up Ndless / Nlaunch {:thumbsup:}
- to be able to return to the OS 3.1 with Ndless anytime without the need of any computer! {:thumbsup:}
There is now support for TI-Nspire monochrome models . All supported models are:
- TI-Nspire + TI-Nspire TouchPad
- TI-Nspire CAS + TI-Nspire CAS TouchPad
- TI-Nspire CX + TI-Nspire CX-C
- TI-Nspire CX CAS + TI-Nspire CX-C CAS
Compared to the old Ndless/3.2 switching pack, the new installation tutorial for the TI-Nspire CX has been greatly improved and simplified ! {:thumbsup:}
For monochrome TI-Nspire you had reported us several errors with the ntnoc tool used in the pack. These errors were coming from the low capacity on these models (only 32MB NAND), in which no less than three TI-Nspire OS have to fit during installation. The new installation tutorial for the TI-Nspire monochromes takes this into account and has the same manipulations in a different order which does not seem to trigger any error anymore! {:thumbsup:}
The installation has been tested several times for hours and days without any problem on no less than 7 different TI-Nspire models including 5 monochrome ones.
It looks like a great achievement, doesn't it? But it's not a victory for the community. Indeed, this package just help current Ndlessable handhelds to go on using Ndless and doesn't make Ndless installable on more handhelds at at all...
Ndlessable TI-Nspire handhelds therefore continue to decrease, just not as fast or as far as TI had planned.
We have no illusions: when the popup about the availability of the new OS 3.6 will be trigerred soon in TI-Nspire softwares, most users will of course update without seeking any information online.
TI has therefore not completely eradicated Ndless on older models and hardware revisions, but it remains huge victory: TI almost eradicated Ndless on older models and hardware revisions.
