Ready to download BOOT2 software...

Begin XMODEM file transfer.


How to fix it?

Thank you very much

Hi. Apparently you've got no valid boot image, neither in the Boot2 partition, nor in the Diags partition.

You'll need to reflash a valid CX Boot2 image.
For example, download CX Boot2 4.4.0 : archives_voir.php?id=1362033

Then you'll need a serial software supporting Xmodem file transfers.
If your current one doesn't, for example on Windows there is ExtraPuTTY : http://www.extraputty.com/

The connection setup, if needed :

• Baud rate : 115200
• Data : 8 bit
• Parity : none
• Stop : 1 bit
• Flow control : none

You need to connect both Rx and Tx pins :


Once everything is ok :

• press reset button
• once the "Begin XMODEM file transfer." prompt, send the downloaded Boot2 image, using the Xmodem protocol

Thanks the fast answer, but i upload Boot2 file and nothing happened (no reboot). What the next step?

This isn't normal.

Anything printed after the "Begin XMODEM file transfer." line ?

Begin XMODEM file transfer.
Download error: 255BOOT1 Error:
Halting boot due to download error.


I called my friend who updated the device to the last software and he tried downgrade and now not working..

So, you got an error during the Boot2 image transfer.

Did it start ? I mean did you get a progress bar in the software with more than 0%, or did it stay and fail at 0% ?

The transfer works, and at the end the transfer window closes.

According to the output, the calculator still didn't like something.
Maybe you can check / secure your connections, and connection parameters.

Now i see i tried the wrong file. but now!

SUCCESS!! Working calculator!
