    It certainly is the correct size for a 2xxW logo.bin file at 512 KB [2x5W is 398 KB], but it's corrupt. GIR_Editor doesn't recognise it as a logo bin but opens it and then cannot find any images in it. I haven't bothered to look further at it for that reason. If you are game to flash it, here is an rgn file made from HWID 0827 boot.bin and a good 2xxW logo.bin: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Drag it onto updater.exe and flash it in preboot [but the risk is yours of course ]. Back up your internal files and most importantly NV if you haven't already done so before you flash this file. Hard reset before and after.

    PS: The reason you couldn't attach the file is that it needed to be compressed first as a rar or zip. And yes, 2xxW doesn't support TTS. Yours is a 205W in all but name but i thought it didn't have TTS either. If you lose TTS after this we'll have to look at something else.

    Thanks for the custom 200W RGN file. I was in the process of creating this file myself last night. However, I'll have to do some more reading and understanding before deciding to flash or not. The unit is working as-is currently without any problem, and the start-up pic seems to be just a minor issue for now. The down side is losing the TTS capability which I prefer to preserve if possible.

    I've already backed up everything recommended. Just to be sure, when you say backup NV, this means just the extracted content of Region 41 (which I've already done last night), right? Thanks again!
