It is not a problem with the bootloader - only after a cold start the device will connect directly to the PC.
From standby mode the device will ask if yo want to connect during the start but this function makes problems sometimes.
If your bootloader would be screwed up your device would be a brick.

So I managed to get a new navcore on using tomtom home I updated it and it put on
DeviceName=TomTom XL
DeviceVersionHW=ONE XL (v9)
DeviceSerialNumber=xxxxxx
DeviceUniqueID=xxxxxx
RamDiskVersion=20080529
BootLoaderVersion=55128
CurrentMapVersion=850.2783
I patched the maps they work ok ,I then downloaded the redlight cameras from Tomtom site try to patch but it won`t patch.

Anyone have any suggestions.

You do not have, nor have you had a navcore problem.

1. Please explain.
2. Please give a detailed step by step

No the Navcore now works ok ,how ever the red light cameras won`t activate.
I downloaded a Navacore using the tomtom site then patchedthe maps using alberts easy activator,I then downloaded the redlight cameras from Tomtom site try to patch but they are not there when I go to tomtom service on my Tomtom.

You didn't mention patching the navcore from TT. You must have a subscription to download cams from TomTom.com, except US. Subscription cams don't need patching.

I don`t get it then I get free red light cameras but thet will not work or detect on my tomtom

What map do you have?

The new USA_and_Canada_850.2783

Confirm that your navcore is patched, and that you have these files in your USA & C map folder.

Safety_Cam_US_Canada_TomTom.ov2
Safety_Cam_US_Canada_TomTom.ov2.dct
Safety_Cam_US_Canada_TomTom.ov2.ver

I only have :
Safety_Cam_US_Canada_TomTom.ov2
Safety_Cam_US_Canada_TomTom.ov2.ver

I do not have a Safety_Cam_US_Canada_TomTom.ov2.dct

Your cams are not patched.

Copy the attached meta.txt into you patching tool & repatch.

I did that it says patched cameras but now the my tomtom says the maps need to be activated and are not useable?

Looking in the meta text file I don`t see the meta for that map version?

You stated in post 17 that you patched the maps & they were OK. In post 20, I asked if you had patched the navcore, but I never got an answer. To use the patched cams, you must also have a patched navcore & map.

The latest meta is attached. It contains the meta for your map.

I got everything working now.I had the wrong meta for the map.
I needed
; USA_and_Canada_850_2783
8C CC 3D 00 63 57 9C 14 54 9E B4 2E 09 6D 00 F5 USA_and_Canada-163.meta
