Well, yeah, we figured that out on page 1Boot SX OS, tell it to load hekate.
Yes, of course that'll work. I wanted to find a solution for this issue specifically for people who might want to switch from SX to Atmosphere, and thus may have the sx dongle already and want to still use it instead of buying another oneJust get an regular RCM dongle then, SX OS Dongle is overprice anyway when you can get the payload online.
Faster solution is Hekate, and use Hekate as reboot payload as well so you reboot into a cfw selector when you want to@wurstpistole it's a long way around it.. but try this app – it allows the 'reboot to payload' to select between different payloads - https://github.com/suchmememanyskill/Payload_Launcher
So the long way would be, use SX dongle and boot to SX OS, run the app and select the reboot payload as atmos.. then it should reboot into atmos and you can have both OS on the same SD card.
Right, you got the issue now - the cfw is in the boot.dat hence you can't replace it with the SX Gear chainloader boot.dat or a custom boot.dat. I looked into the SX payload with a hex editor, it's all mumbo jumbo. That would have been a more elegant solution, via the SX Gear boot.dat allowing the dongle to boot either Hekate or a payload selector like argon directly, and go from there.I guess you are right, I didn't consider that. You can load other payloads through SX OS/SX Gear, and you can load SX OS from other payloads, but as both methods rely on swapping out the boot.dat and/or payload.bin, you cannot do both easily. Maybe hex editing the SX payload so that it will load another file like for example boot.da2 would work, so you could have two SX payloads, with SX Gear payload as boot.dat loading into a chainloader like Hekate, and the other payload (which you load from the chainloader) loading into boot.da2 containing SX OS. I don't think the main RCM payload is encrypted so it should be hex editable.
But it would be easier to have SX OS as the main payload, and use the payload loader feature to load into Hekate or another chainloader when you want to use other payloads like Atmosphere (even if Atmosphere doesn't work directly from SX' chainloader it should work from Hekate)
Alternatively you could pick up another dongle. I ordered an RCMloader One on AliExpress the other day and it was only $10.69.
