Hello,
i had the same problem. After trying some hours trying it worked with the following cmd
cc3200tool -p COM7 write_file mcuimg.bin /sys/pre-img.bin
in my case it was COM7
thank you for your reply. I didn’t try this command.
Isn’t this a command for writing onto the flash of the toniebox, is it?
three times yes
I did another wiring. I used little bit of strings of my western guitar and hotglued after I measured the connection. There are no short circuits either.
I stick to your colors of your image.
I used again this command because connecting RST and GND didn’t work for me (could be that I didn’t do this correctly)
cc3200tool -p COM4 --reset dtr read_all_files ExtractedFromBox/
with this log:

I think the good news is the quick connection of my UART to the box. IMHO the wiring seems to be working.
However, is my cc3200tool broken because some commands are inactive?
Your box is powered by battery or power cord? That’s necessary. Looks like it is not.
I plug in my UART. After the LED stops blinking and stay light green I plug in my power supply.
Just didn’t make a photo of that
i have the same problem.
I think I was successfull.
Maybe someone can confirm that the filesize looks sensible?
Anyway I tried with another machine (laptop) and it worked.
I had to use this command but as I said that worked for me.
cc3200tool -p COM3 --reset dtr read_all_files ExtractedFromBox/
Hi,
I’ve tried to backup my box but allways got the following response.
It seems, the connection is established, but the breaks.
VCC is connected to SOP2!
DTR is connected to RST manually before starting cc3200tool
It seems to me that the connection is verified and I’m using short cables.

Hi
How does your wiring look like?
Did you use hot glue to fix connection temporarily?
Which command did you use? With or without reset dtr?
Hi,
Thanks for your fast reply.
I used some Isolation tape to fix the wiring on the board.
I also fixed the connectors to the UART with the tape.
During the reading procedure there was no movement between the parts.
I tried several times, but the interruption mostly happened at the same point during downloading the first or second file.
The command I used is visible in the first line of the log file above.
Do you have another machine?
My laptop Worked, however my desktop not.
Maybe try with adding reset dtr
cc3200tool -p COM5 --reset dtr read_all_files ExtractedFromBox/
Today I tried another UART.
I ordert this one: FT232-AZ USB zu TTL Serial Adapter für 3,3V und 5V
With the new UART I was able to backup the original data from my box.
I used the following commands:
cc3200tool -p COM6 --reset dtr read_all_files ExtractedFromBox/
cc3200tool -p COM6 --reset dtr read_flash D:\Downloads\Toniebox\backup.bin
But, afterwards when I try to open the backup.bin file I got the response that it is corrupt.
Did somebody have this issue too?
Sorry my fault.
I got all files and the backup.bin.
I thought the files would be inside the backup.bin
Now I understood that I get both.
