i'm wondering about your issue because the 1.5 "bootloader" issue was announced for X18 only, but may apply to x20 too

What bootloader version? You need 1.4.15 or later

I wanted to update it to 1.5.0. release from 1.4.3

Latest bootloader for the X20 is 1.4.15

1.4.3 won't boot ETHOS 1.5, which is your problem.

Solution: Flash ETHOS 1.4.17 manually (download the firmware, copy to your SD card, boot radio in bootloader, the bootloader will automatically flash any firmware.bin file found in the root folder of your SD when booted into Bootloader mode)
Then update your bootloader to latest 1.4.15
then update the radio to ETHOS 1.5

Latest Ethos Suite update shouldn't allow you to flash firmware 1.5.0 if you use a old bootloader
