Can we confirm that all of these "new" models have been bought only in Asia for now? It would make sense to start there.

No i cant see the payload on switch screen (it's stay black)
I tried biskeydump, hekate (ipl & ctc), SX 1.3 & 1.2



I bought mine at Yodobashi (akihabara). Are you still in Japan ? ^^

Hi Picooz,

I am having the same problem with you.
What is the model, year on the back of your Switch ?
Mine is 2018 HAC-S-JXE-C3



Not in Japan anymore.

Very strange that RCM is recognized but not the payload.
Did you place the payload on the microsd as well ?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

idiotic it may be. but i'm right.
No.
Because your 4.1 model is receiving payload (so do mine), it doesn't mean that they don't know what they are doing.

I was having a black screen issue as well when I first started to run homebrew, payload injectors would say complete and all should have worked, but kept getting just a black screen.

Turned out my issue was using USB3.0 ports on my Win7 pro machine. Switched to a regular 2.0 port and all my problems went away. You can also try dicking with the USB3.0 Legacy/support settings in the BIOS/UEFI.

no that's never necessary.

Got the same problem at first.
The payload transfer does not work all the times.

Some times it works immediately, s.t. not. Figured out it highly depend on the sending machine.
I use NXLoader v0.3 with my Galaxy s8 - works almost every time. My old computer (USB 2.0) was more or a less a guaranty. My new laptop (USB 3) just struggles...

Probably me being paranoid, but can one of the affected upload a video of them going into RCM mode, their computer detecting it and then them trying to upload a payload.
Again, im probably just being paranoid, but for all we know someone is just trying to make everyone panic.
they already did, I cant see them doing anything wrong, drivers seem installed correctly and device is detected, just fails to launch the payload
When did you purchase it ?
Anything you do different than me on this video?

Silly question but you did use other microSD's right?
There is no silly question !


at 6:30 you will see that I was sending biskeydump.bin
This payload(or hekate payload) does not require any sd card to be inserted at the boot step.
On the command line screen you will see that it struck after sending payload to the console.

It is not about the USB 2/3 port.
I tried 4 different ports on my pc, same result, 2 consoles work, 1 console does not work.

I did try my best to cover in the video that my other console(at least 2 but only recorded 1) work fine on the same environment.
In fact, I have never failed to send payload to my 2 other consoles at all.
I also verified that it was on RCM mode (APX device).
I also tried different payload, show you the checksum of the file to make sure that the files are not corrupted.
I have no other idea what might be the error from user perspective.
