Joerie, great to hear someone is actually trying to hack into the bootloader. Though very sorry to hear it messed up your H1.
Unfortunately I know jack about bootloaders or the ARM hardware. I'm a software developer, so I could help out when someone figures out how to compile and run our own code on it. If you know how I could help figuring out how to communicate to the bootloader, let me know. I hope you'll be able to bring your H1 to live again...
