Hi all,
I have this huge problem with a Tomtom Start and I have googled it for days an hours but still can't find a solution....

From the beginning: I bought this tomtom from online auction site showing a flashing red cross... software all messed up I thought.
I have revived hundreds of TT's by reinstalling,activating new maps e.t.c. but this one......
the internal storage was empty, so I went to tomtom home and downloaded navcore etc first restart, select langauge etc
as soon as it gets to set clock it freezes... the restarts.... :-(
I tryed loading bootloader 0.0001 Success! on the bios screen it accepted it! (allthough the bootloader text boxed in a red line)
So back to TT home downloaded the proper navcore for the start again. On reseting at this stage I expect it to run through the setup
and then tell me 'no maps found'. But no....... again as sone as you click done on clock settings it freezes and eventually restarts.
Checked the internal storage for errors file and bad sector - none found...
I don't like formatting, but I did to 'fat' and no change, tryed clear flash, any bootloader which I put on is accepted and shows on
the bios screen when you hold the pwr for 5 secs or so. it connects to computer fine. charges fine, it even generates a 'tt.bif'
so i put together a working folder with map correct bootloader 5.5274 and navcore 9.057 from tomtom home.
still it freezes after attempting to set clock.... Yet on the bios screen clock RTC is ticking.
I'm pulling my hair out here after days of trying, I have never been beaten by a TT....
Can anyone shed any light on this? anyone out there have the same problem and managed to get it working again?
Any help will be greatly appreciated...... Thanks in advance....
