I made a couple tweaks, which shouldn't have broken anything but it's a good idea to test again just in case. Thanks.

The bootloader doesn't appear to be zeroed in the same way, but those aren't the first few bytes.Code: [Select]0000000 0506 0304 5502 55aa 6300 0202 2fa4 00000000010 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000*0000800 8007 4002 0000 0000 0002 3442 8007 4082
I also tested installing the rockbox bootloader last night. That worked. I just tried restoring from my bootloader backup and that worked perfectly too.

I bought a Surfans F20 Player as well and I want to install the native port on it.[...]Is it save to proceed with the installation of the native port with the latest (v7) bootloader from this thread?[...]Flash info:readID opcode = FF C8 D1 C8readID address = C8 D1 C8 D1readID dummy = D1 C8 D1 C8[...]
I installed the ROCKbox native port from the v7 bootloader, after a success message I first booted into ROCKbox from the BOOT Menue, this worked.Then I rebooted and I just got a flickering screen.So I powered the device off by long pressing power.A new press on power just gives me the flickering screen again...So I loaded the v7 bootloader from command promt again...I reinstalled ROCKbox and powered off after.I pressed power again and all I got is a flickering screen again.So I started the bootloader again and created a Flashdump and the info files again.here are they https://mega.nz/file/jTQS1K6Y#2OMx0mlbN7KqH24NBsz7AEeZqBCtWyXwTirj_9ecDxMThen I restored the original bootloader. Now the player is working again with its original Firmware (not with ROCKbox sadly). I hope you will have success in getting the thing working with ROCKbox! If you need something else from me I try to provide it to you.

I don't know what the issue is, but if you try a few things it might help narrow things down:Go into the bootloader menu (hold volume up when powering on) and boot Rockbox - see if the LCD flickersBoot the original firmware from the bootloader menu - check if the LCD worksBoot the original firmware by holding PLAY when powering onAlso if you could explain what you mean by the screen "flickering" that would help. Can you see the Rockbox logo or menus? Do they look corrupted? Or do you see randomly colored "noise"? Better yet, post a video of the problem if you can. It doesn't have to be great, as long as the problem is visible.
I made 2 videos of the issue as requested. Maybe seeing it yourself says more than me making a lot of words trying to describe the flickering.

When you install the bootloader from the Rockbox recovery menu (the bootloader which you have started with jztool), you will actually install the file "bootloader.erosq" from your SD-card. This file has as well to be the version 7 bootloader. So you have to copy the file "bootloader-v7.erosq" to the SD-card and rename it to "bootloader.erosq" before installing the bootloader. As said this is just a wild guess.
