# Rescue image
If the Raspberry Pi4 is not booting, then it's very unlikely that the EEPROM is corrupted. If you think it has an invalid image or you want to revert to the factory setting, then download the rescue image from the Raspberry Pi [downloads page](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/)
If the Raspberry Pi4 is not booting, then it's very unlikely that the EEPROM is corrupted. The first thing that you should check is that the OS image was correctly installed using the Raspberry Pi Imager which is available on the [downloads page](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/). If that doesn't work or you wish to revert EEPROM configuration changes to factory defaults then you can also create an EEPROM recovery SD card image using the Raspberry Pi Imager.

# BETA versions of the bootloader
If you want to try the BETA version of the bootloader then we recommend that you always try this with a spare sd-card and comfortable with using the rescue image. For debugging you may find a USB serial cable useful.

Beta features are always documented [here](https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/blob/master/firmware/raspberry_pi4_network_boot_beta.md) first. Once the configuration has stabalised then the [Bootloader configuration](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bcm2711_bootloader_config.md) will be updated, however, there's normally a bit of a delay in order to allow official documentation to be reviewed.
