I have GO 710, bl v 5.5229, app v9.160, maps 890 fully working but receiving gps signal is little slower.
Is it safe an useful to update it to higher version like 5.5242 ->, anybody tested it?
THX for your answers.

GPS signal fix has bugger all to do with bootloaders. If it ain't broke; don't fix it!

I still don't think it's a bootloader problem because your device boots fine when not connected to the PC

Current official BL for the 530 is the 5.5279,
but the 5.5120 works just fine on it.
I'm amazed how many people think to fix a problem by messing with the bootloader....

You can find official bootloader for your TomTom in the official cab. You can download it using TomTom Home (if your navcore is outdated you need to upgrade several times until TomTomHome installs the latest version) or direct link:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

In the archive you find a text file (bootloaderversion.txt) which contains bootloader version.

You should only update if the official Navcore for your device actually has a newer bootloader than currently installed.
The only other reson to update is to update from a 4.xxx bootloader (Navcore 7.xxx) to be able to use SDHC cards, and for that case the 5.5112 is recommended.

Totally agree (as you've been told MANY times before on NUMEROUS forums)

Why, oh why, do you think you want to change your bootloader?????
