HP 12C+ Firmware - dvcirilo - 08-23-2023 07:20 AM
Hello all,
Following multiple threads here I was able to repurpose my HP 12C+ (originally with 2008 firmware and SST bug) into a HP 15C with extended memory and all.
Now comes the problem that I'd like to bring it back to its 12C origins, but the only firmware I found (HP12C+_12-12-2011.bin) here does not seem to work with my version of the hardware. There is permanent minus sign on screen, and some buttons seem to have switched positions, as the "g", that lights the "G" (close to RAD) on display, the "f" lights the BEGIN, and so on.
I have flashed this multiple times, back and forth between the 15C firmware, which works flawlessly and this 2011 12C+, which does not work, probably ruling out any hardware defects.
Does anyone happen to have the 2009 versions of the hp 12C+? From my research here, it seems that last 2009 version is from 2009-11-19.
Thanks!!

The HP-12C+ firmware is contained in the HP12C+ SDK, which can be downloaded from link provided by original post
It is within the folder hierarchy: AT91SAM7L\ewp\12C\Exe\HP12C+.bin

Thanks, I have tried this one, but it does not work, doesn't even turn on.
The HP12C+_12-12-2011 version kindly posted by Katie here, which gives me the weird behavior, minus sign always on, "f" and "g" keys not working, etc. Basic operations work ok.
I'm looking for either the 2009-11-19 or 2009-07-24 versions, as cited here.
Originally this 12C had the 2008-06-28 version.
I reverted back to the 15C firmware. Maybe its fate now is to live as 15C forever.
I'm better looking for a keyboard overlay.
