Do not use this unlock by any means on Mio Combo 5207! I fu*cked up a new unit. Update went OK, like on the video, but after the update touchscreen doesn't work anymore. It boots into a new menu, but as said, the touchscreen doesn't work. At this state, the device is officially bricked. It's still possible to connect it to PC via USB, but that doesn't help much. I tried to restore the unit to factory settings (I had a full backup of a Flash Disk), but it doesn't make any difference. I guess this unlock somehow modifies the registry or WinCE files and force install the new menu somewhere into WinCE. I tried to use that unlock just because none of the standard unlock procedures worked on this device. I tried to run the FactoryTest again to remove the unlock shell (as demonstrated on the video), but that doesn't revert this unit to its default state. It always boots into the new menu, with or without SD, with the FactoryTest. I tried to modify and use TTCMD (as eugene.exe) and other apps, as Gjon suggested. It worked, but in any case touchscreen doesn't work in any app. Complete disaster! It's officially my first bricked Mio device!

edit: I also tried FactoryTest for reverting to the original state, but it doesn't fix the touch screen, so the unit stays on the calibration screen. The only solution I see here is to create a script (based on eugene.exe) that will overwrite the entire Windows folder to its default state. However, this is a hard nut to crack because I don't have windows backup from that device, neither the skills to make such a script..
