upgraded a go500 with the patched 8414 navcore from here and 855.2884 uk maps
i extracted all files to device SD card and overwritten where needed,the maps and voices patched fine etc
but when i switched the device on it just sticks on the tt boot up screen with hands picture on.
so i tried it by removing everything from the sd card and installing the new navcore from scratch,again everything patched ok but had the same boot up problem,so i copied the original back back onto the SD card and it booted up fine.
could the bootloader be the issue

before the upgrade the device was running the following software
APP5.410 5628
GPS1.21
BOOTLOADER3.30
MAPGB V605

have you old MapSettings.cfg in map folder and use clear flash tool too....
and maybe you want change your bootloader...

TomTom Automatic Navcore Installation
TomTom Clear Flash Tool

i did have old map settings in the map so i removed it and its just the same
how can i update the booloader??

Every navcore has a bootloader in it. It is a file named "system".

so its not the map settings and its not the bootloader, i run clearflash and still the same, i thought it may be the SD card but it boots no problem with the original software and maps on?

Look in your ttgo.bif file or in your device's Main Menu to see if the b/l has been upgraded.

bootloader has not been upgraded so whats the best way to do that

just copy it your root directory and reboot device, 5.5022 is good for go 500


EDIT: i think you need 5.5128 for navcore 8414 but dont do nothing before djc or tendriver confirm that....

copy what to the root directory???i need thenew bootloader and dont have it

im not sure bootloader version for this navcore and old device so just wait TomTom mods confirm.....

[color="sienna"]Here is both bootloaders, but wait tendriver or djc first...[/color]

HI
To get the 5.5128 bootloader you have to download 8.417 navcore (original one) and copy only the "SYSTEM" from there to your SD card.
You need to do a soft reset after.

Download & unzip pietu's .rar. Rename "system - Bootloader 5.5128 (OneXL) Original" to "system" without the quotes. Copy it to the root of your card & reboot.
