[Tuto] [EN/FR] Install/Installer nBoot + ControlX (+Linux)

[Fourchette]

Bonjour,

J'ai installé ControlX tous c'est bien passé !

Un seul problème est que "Ti computer link" ne trouve pas ma calculatrice quand je la branche :/ need help

[critor]

Bonsoir.

La calculatrice fonctionne normalement ? Tu peux l'utiliser comme d'habitude ?

[Fourchette]

Oui la calculatrice fonctionne parfaitement,

elle est reconnue par l'ordinateur(j'ai été impatient, elle a été détecté 1 ou 2 mins après l'avoir branché)

désolé du dérangement

[critor]

Pas grave - merci pour ta réponse.

Hello,

I'm trying to install controlx on my nspire CX, when I try to flash controlx into diags partition, it said "image rejected as determined unsafe if flashed on this model".

Boot1: 3.0.0.99
Boot2: 4.0.3.49
OS: 4.4.0.532

===UPDATE===

Okay, surprise, I have tried again after I publish this post, it works well now...

Hello again. My experience with ControlX has been great so far. It's definitely a good program!
However, due to... "user error", my calculator seems to no longer be running ControlX. Instead, on boot, it shows what I would presume to be the greyscale Nspire boot screen (I have a CX). Luckily, I didn't brick my calculator!
To make this happen, I was screwing around in nsNANDMgr (what could possibly go wrong...) and decide it would be a great idea to execute "Fix SPI Flash". I presume that, by doing this, I cleared out ControlX (ctrl+reset does not bring up the config screen, Ndless does not install on boot, et cetera). I think that simply reflashing ControlX to the Diags partition would fix it, but of course I'd rather not break my calculator more than it's already broken. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Also, I have a TI-Nspire CX non-CAS with a revision of P-0615V.

Hi.

The "Fix SPI Flash" is to uninstall nBoot.
And once nBoot is uninstalled, ControlX won't work anymore.

If you didn't change anything else, you just need to reflash the nBoot Manuf image with nsNandMgr/BtMg, and ControlX will be back :

That's step D of the tutorial.

Ah, yes, thank you! That fixed it. I'll try not to mess around with programs that might brick my calculator anymore.

Hello,

Wondering if nBoot/ControlX has been updated at all to work with newer hardware revisions/Boot1 versions. I've got a Y revision with 4.0.1.43 Boot1 on my hands, and I'd really like to install Linux on it. If it's not availiable yet, that's cool; I'll just have to wait

Thanks in advance!

nBoot is exploiting an SPI flaw in Boot1 3.0.0.99.

As far as I know, the newer Boot1 4.0.1.43 used on hardware revisions W+ stopped using SPI.
