I know that using the same firmware on completely different hardware will have serious consequences, so until now I only use 2842's ldr.bin to execute rrgn 5 and rrgn 154 on 4044 hardware, and dare not try other actions.
So Ramloader will first write to region 12 and then execute it.
I've tried changing the HWID from 2842 to 4044 and putting Ldr.bin in the SD card. This is not equivalent to using Updater.exe to write boot.bin to region 12, right?
I will learn and try to use Updater.exe to write boot.bin to region 12.

I have not tried loading NV dumps from other 2842 units to my 4044.
The first time I used the boot.bin of 2842 without changing the HWID, I was shocked to see "SYSTEM SOFTWARE MISSING" on the machine, and forgot to check the update.log under the Garmin\2842 folder of the SD card.
The second time I changed the HWID to 4044 and tried again, but it still displayed "SYSTEM SOFTWARE MISSING", only to find that it could not return to normal, and then I remembered to check the update.log.
I think this is the first time, although the HWID of the Ramloader is 2842, other zones are not damaged even zone 12, so the rrgn command is executed successfully, and the first record shows UID 3375696611 of 4044.
Then region 12 or other region is changed, HWID becomes 2842 UID 3952386425.
When I second use Ldr.bin with HWID changed to 4044, zone 12 or something already has HWID of 2842, so the update.log second record shows UID 3952386425 of HWID 2842.

You can attach them to our server provided you RAR or ZIP them as max. size 15.07mb. Use the post editor behind "Go Advanced" to find the "Manage Attachments" button for that. You'll need to split the compressed GCD into several parts to attach, or just upload the single original file to MegaNZ, AnonFiles or Zippyshare. I already have the US/EU 2584 firmware to compare.
Yes, I want to share all my dump files.
I got a complete 2842 firmware file and valid NV data between region 0~region 255.
There are so many files and huge, I share from my NAT temporary
