number of bootloader is Bootloader(Reinicio)_5.05 :013:
When I flashed... I saw screen going wrong.. black.
I dismantle unit ..but didnt find where is location of bootloader ..so i put back together unit ..after 3 hours connected to pc light is green now ..but no connections to pc.
I know ..bootloader I flashed is not for this unit...but I thought this can happen ..
is there any possibility flash bootloader chip with universal programmer eeprom?

1. OUCH!!
2. I can imagine.
3. It is in the 64mb RAM memory.
4. A hard lesson learned.
5. Maybe, maybe not.

Have you tried putting a complete setup, navcore with bootloader & a map, on a 2GB SD card & attempt to boot up with it?? I have b/l 5.5279 on a X20.
