So, I was messing around with a couple of my xts2500s and one two of them, the Bootloader came up fine when I pressed the emergency button and the ptt when I turned it on. The third one on the other hand never showed up. When I press the emergency button and ptt and turn on the radio, all the lights show up, but nothing on the screen. I pulled the battery and re-attached it and still nothing. What prompted me to check the Bootloader was I was flashing a radio and I wanted to see what version Bootloader the other radio was. By the way, all three of my radios are the same dsp and firmware but all have different Bootloader versions. But bottom line is is there a fix for the Bootloader?


Thank you

Sounds like your radios were upgraded using the "dirty" method.
A proper firmware refresh with ibutton will update the bootloader as well as the codeplug, tuner, host, and DSP partitions.
If all your radios are the same host/DSP then they should be same bootloader.
The R20 firmware has boot loader R03.05.00.
If a proper refresh doesn't fix the boot loader then only tools that cannot be named will fix it.

Ok thanks. I'll put in an order for a firmware refresh and see if that does the trick. Thank you again
