You mean the nightly build? And do I need to change something in the bootloader? -

Done it several times, no problems, except for some black screen that is fixed by rebooting or pulling power and connecting again.

the rpi-eeprom-update -a
show me the release from 5 Jan. (Default Channel)
Why don't show me the firmware from 16-2-24 (default)? Whats the mistake?

If you are on LE11.0.6 then that is the most recent release you'll get from rpi-eeprom-update -a - the EEPROM firmware files are included in the image so they'll be whatever was current at release time.
Use LE12 nightlies or the LE12 beta (which should be likely released today or tomorrow) to get newer EEPROM or write the latest EEPROM release from https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/releases here to a spare SD card to manually update the EEPROM to some desired version.
Another option is to download a RPi5 pieeprom file from here https://github.com/raspberrypi/rp…r/firmware-2712 and then run rpi-eeprom-update -f pieeprom-YYYY-MM-DD.bin

I have just turned select the EEPROM Bootloader update option from the latest RPI5 12 nigthly and now the RPi5 can longer boot ... any suggestion (other than I should I have not selected that option, of course)?

The RPi5 LED flashing pattern seems 3 long 1 short that according to https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/…ing-flash-codes corresponds to 'SPI EEPROM error - Pi 4'
Could this mean that the LibreELEC menu has installed a RPi4 EEPROM on my RPi5?

Create a bootloader recovery SD card using the Raspberry Pi imager https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/ - use a spare SD card and choose the desired bootloader (SD/USB/net boot) in the operating systens -> misc utilities section.
Hard to tell what went wrong when you updated, this is the first report of a failed bootloader update that I have seen.

Hias,
Thank you for the suggestion.
The bootloader recovery method did work for me (at the second attempt, tough).
