Just letting people known that with newer 00.02.04.00.03 firmware (who is also reported as 02.04 in the rigol screen) you cannot "downgrade" anymore using the "standard" firmware files, you need to make an (easy) change to the version header in the FW. More info is in my changing the rigol DS1052E to DS1102E using USB , the dummy guide Also already a few people have had problems with flashing new firmware into the rigol, resulting in a bricked Scope, it might be good to include the MD5 checks I added to my guide to minimise problems.
