As you can see the device name has changed to Limerick also

have been thinking about the above, it seems to me that the device needs to see the new memory card before tomtom home, otherwise tt home seems to set this bootloader by default.

1. TT Home didn't actually change the bootloader to 10012 from 55022. A patched navcore will always show 1.0012 in TT Home "Operate my device".
2. No, even if you create a new .bif file, it will still show 1.0012, when you put the card in the card reader.
3. See points 1 & 2.
