Checkout the latest documentation for the bootloader example: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../a00055.html

These steps are no longer mentioned, and I don't think they are necessary if using SoftDevice 7.0 and SDK 6.0

Are you using Keil to compile?

If so, try putting the softdevice on using nrfGo then flash the bootloader from within Keil OR

nrfjprog.exe --reset --program _build/bootloader.hex

After compiling with Keil, you should be able to open the hex file, look at the end of it and see that it's writing address 0x1000101 for you.

No, SDK 6.0.0 and SoftDevice (S110) 7.0.0 are the latest releases

Hi!

I've N51822 QFAG0 1341AG version, purchased few days ago. And SDK should be v7.0, isn't it?

Also, what chip revision do you have, i.e what name is printed on your chip? I guess maybe SDK 4.2 wont be valid for your chip version.

that argument is not provided with my nrfjprog either (very old documentation, maybe the nrfjprog util has changed since then), but since you are just writing to a memory space you could try nrfjprog --memwr 0x10001014 --val 0x00038000
