Can't make my Raspberry Pi 4 2GB booting!
Bootloader 2022/01/25 Dev20201026 Replace the fixup4.dat and start4.elf files
No success at all.
Anybody any clue?
You don't need to replace the fixup4.dat and start4.elf files when using dev20201026.

I am not sure what is going on. I have 2 Pi4s, a 4GB and an 8GB, that have worked previously. The 4GB is now unable to boot motionEyeOS dev20201026. This will take some testing.
I use motioneyeos on zero 1/2, raspbian on pi4, so I don't have the problem, but I would guess the shiny new bootloader with network install is the culprit.
I went all the way back to the 4/2021 bootloader, and none of them seem to work. I am not sure what broke, but bringing them up to the 'default' (which doesn't have the 'shiny new network installer'), doesn't want to reverse. Still checking. I freed up my Pi4-8GB for a bit:

Fails with the same SDCard, Will attempt to force back the BootLoader...

Nope, can't get it to boot the same known good (actually put it back in the Pi4-8GB and normal booted) SDCard. I don't know what broke, and putting it back to a known good rpi-eeprom doesn't fix it, either...
There are two potential issues. Try 1) before 2)
- You are not running the correct boot loader for MotionEyeOS. Use the 4-29-21 version. There is a program you can flash to a microsd card to change the bootloader version. This guide talks about how to make one: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-bootloader/
using the raspberry pi imager: https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/
- I read somewhere that the new version of the Raspberry 4B boards are not compatible with MotionEyeOS. Install a modern Raspberry PI OS and use this guide to install MotionEye. I still haven't got this working myself so I can't help you with all the details but I got to see the GUI interface for MotionEye come up once. https://jmichault.github.io/motioneye.eo-dok/en/instalado_en_debian/
