Hi I have problem with SX payload injected by tegrashams gui... I have sx pro, but not know where i put it, so injected by PC. Payload boots to SX splash screen and boots to OFW. I tested old exfat samsung 256gb card and new 512gb. Used latest SX OS build and older ones - same problem. Both cards are origimal, tested ok. Before 256gb card work ok with sx os. Switch have 6.1 fw with exfat support. Both cards are visible to ofw.

Thanks for the reply.

Fixed, as user Qubus from TX forums sugested me to hold vol + button during payload injection, then tx menu appear.

When you say you have SX Pro, do you mean you have the SX Pro dongle? If so, you don't need to do anything special. Just put the SX OS boot.dat on the root of your SD card and insert the dongle into your Switch while it's in RCM.

But the thing is that currently i do not have dongle with me, so injected by PC and there is the problem as i stated

no way will it boot to ofw if you inject payload without choosing boot to ofw, and how do you know you are in ofw?

that's just an extra step, you don't need to hold vol+ to go to tx menu then choose boot to cfw

For me holding v+ only enters tx menu, when i injected payload from tegrasmash gui and not holding this button only show the tx splash screen and enters to ofw.

there is no need to hold vol+ after power, just hold vol+ then push Power then let go all

I am telling you that entering to rcm mode works as normal, but after injecting sx payload menu not show up, tested also via crossinjecting with hekate and same results.

you don't need to go to the tx menu to boot cfw, it will boot to cfw after you injected payload

When you think you're in OFW, click the Album Icon and I bet it opens the TX Homebrew screen.

If there is as it states in guide it is lot different than using pro dongle - when i normally insert it in rcm mode it boots to menu first. So if have signs of cfw on my nand then i do nand restore.
