Hacking Discussion Using SX Pro first time

[chrisnasah]

Hi,

I will be getting my SX pro hopefully in next few days, can someone please guide me on how i should approach it?

It is currently on 4.1.0, do i first backup the nand and then do a firmware upgrade using the guide for not burning the fuses.

Anything else i should do before installing the SX?

Thanks

First backup your nand (boot 0/1 and raw gpp). Then you use the rajkostos upgrade/downgrade method to update without burning fuses. And that's pretty much it... Don't forget to enable autorcm tho.

Any other reason for enabling autorcm other than not having to use a jig every time, i am concerned about the battery issues i read with enabling it.

If you won't enable it, you could accidentally boot to OFW and thus burn fuses (if I understand it correctly)

Check to see if whatever game you are upgrading to 5.1 for actually needs it. You might be able to just use this method and play on 4.1:

Thanks i dont believe i will need to upgrade for now for the games i am looking to play hence might stick with 4.1.0 unless i need to in the future.

I guess upgrading without burning fuses can be done in future without having to go online which is what i would be looking to do until there is a safer method.
