Jump from bootloader to App

I wrote my own bootloader, and i'm trying to jump from the bootloader to the app.
 
I've used this method which appears often on the forum, without success. (it seems to do nothing at all).
 

void (*fptr)(void);
 fptr = (void (*)(void))SOFT_MAIN_ADDRESS;
 fptr();
 

 
BOOTLOADER_MAIN_ADDRESS being #define SOFT_MAIN_ADDRESS (0x9D000000 + 0x480)
 
Linker script of the app:
 

  kseg0_program_mem (rx) : ORIGIN = 0x9D000000 + 0x480, LENGTH = 0x100000 - 0x480
  kseg0_boot_mem : ORIGIN = 0x9D000000, LENGTH = 0x0
  debug_exec_mem : ORIGIN = 0x9FC20490, LENGTH = 0x3B20
  kseg0_boot_mem : ORIGIN = 0x9FC20490, LENGTH = 0x0
  kseg1_boot_mem : ORIGIN = 0x9D000000, LENGTH = 0x480
  kseg1_boot_mem_4B0 : ORIGIN = 0xBFC004B0, LENGTH = 0x3B00

 
 
I'm not sure to fully understand the boot sequence, or if there is any subtility to jump to the application ..?

PIC32MK

I spent 8 hours trying to figure out how to user Harmony's bootloader, I went through the code and decided to give up.
 
When I see harmony's code, I believe this project is already dead. I was hoping they would improve from the previous framework (upon which I spent about 5 years fixing bugs), but no, still keep cryptic function names, 200 lines while loops and non-sense... take a look at APP_ProgramHexRecord on nvm.c of the Harmony framework...
 
Took 5h to write a new bootloader from scratch.
 
Anyhow I think I found the problem, I forgot the _RESET_ADDR  directive from the linker.
 

_RESET_ADDR = 0x9D000480;
....
 kseg0_program_mem (rx) : ORIGIN = 0x9D000000 + 0x800, LENGTH = 0x100000 - 0x800
 kseg0_boot_mem : ORIGIN = 0x9D000000, LENGTH = 0x0
 debug_exec_mem : ORIGIN = 0x9FC20490, LENGTH = 0x3B20
 kseg0_boot_mem : ORIGIN = 0x9FC20490, LENGTH = 0x0

 
I'm still not sure if that's the correct way to put it but it seems to now work.
 
I've seen another example here https://www.microchip.com/forums/m942247.aspx
where the _RESET_ADDR  is set to the kseg1_boot_mem, which I tried but the linker then says pic32m-ld.exe: section .app_excpt loaded at [9d000180,9d00018f] overlaps section .reset loaded at [9d000000,9d0001f3]
