Hacking Discussion SX OS - Error and Solutions Thread

I just got a upgraded eMMC memory to 128GB, but that has changed my Console Fingerprint it would seem.
Is there any way to transfer my license or should I just get a new one?

Cheers.

Better ask that in the SX OS support forum.

So, now I got things running on my 128GB with SX 2.6.1 Beta and Atmos 0.8.6 running on 3.0.2, I upgraded it to 7.0.1 using ChoiDujourNX, while in Atmos.
After the reboot I was able to boot to a 7.0.1 Atmos CFW, I can even boot into the OFW 7.0.1 on my 128GB eMMC.

It's just... booting SX doesn't work anymore.
Selecting the Boot into OFW or CFW options both result in a black screen. (or shutting off)
I have a valid license. I'm not using EmuNAND. And it was working before the ChoiNX update to 7.0.1.

I've tried downloading the payload and boot.dat multiple times, I even got a boot.dat from someone else to try, no dice.

Anyone knows why the SX side of things might be borked?
ReiNX works, Atmos works, OFW works... SX can't even load other Payloads from it's menu, resulting also in a black screen.

I'm using a exFAT 256GB mostly, but I also tried using a FAT32 16GB SD card trying to launch SX, no luck, while Atmos worked on it just fine.

Edit:
I tried 2.5.3, 2.3 beta, 2.6.1 beta, all have the same problem.
How I tested 2.3 and 2.5.3 (along with 2.6.1) was launching payloads (bin files), from within the SX launcher menu.
Those payloads also result into black screens!
I tried a FAT32 adn exFAT card, what is wrong?

I had the "BOOT.DAT?" issue even though I had the boot.dat file on my microSD root. I was able to fix it by formatting the SD Card with my PC AND with my Switch. Then I placed the boot.dat on my microSD root again and it finally worked.

Been getting this for 3 weeks now I have tried absolutely everything and nothing works pretty much given up

Anyone help I am trying to activate an sxos pro dongle, it seems all SXOS/TX sites are all down and if I try to activate it on my switch it just says error network connection even though it's online I presume because it cant access the correct link to activate it. I cannot access the site to do it manually is there any other way of activating?

Hello I am having a problem with my switch whenever i try and go to my sx os menu to install a game i keep getting ERROR Code: 2168-0002. I taken all the games off i have on my san disk microsd card and i an able to boot to the menu but whenever i place a backup game on ther it always gives me an error. I have tried 3 different micro cards to see if it was the cards. I got 1 card from walmart and 2 from amazon so they seem to be legit cards. I tried downloading both nsp and xci from multiple websites and still getting error. Can some one help me to find out why I keep greeting this error? Thank you for any help you can provide me?

Put the nsp and xci to the root of your micro sd card.

 

[rosko25]

I tried that but that didnt work still same error.

 

[pLaYeR^^]

I tried that but that didnt work still same error.

Maybe game is corrupt. You tried another backup?

 

[rosko25]

I will try adding just one game at a time to see if that works.

 

[rosko25]

That worked got it install the games must of had to many on there at one time. But know I am having another problem with my license.dat file every time i try to load up in recovery mode to goes black when I go to custom firmware and original firmware. I tried removing the license.dat file and boot it again through the firmware but once the request is created it just turns the screen black after that. I am on SXOS beta 2.6.2. I am not sure what I can do to fix this? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Put the nsp and xci to the root of your micro sd card.

Games xci don't go on root

UPDATE: ISSUE SOLVED

The how is unknown to me:
- I had plug the loader with and without RCM adapter before
- No i just re-plugged the loader for the 10th time (without RCM) and Switch powed up
SX OS is also updated

************************************

Did SX OS update just killed my Switch?

Nintendo Switch will not power up at all (docked or undocked).
Auto RCM had been enabled
Removed Sandisk 400GB --> power button --> still nothing, did NOT receive the "Boot.dat" error.
Not that it matters, NAND is backed up.

HOW IT OCCURED
tried to update SX OS on latest Beta FM,
unknown previous FW but was 1-2 months old
Downloaded the update 3-4 times as it was not applied and was not paying attention.
Then read the message: "saved on SD card, reboot your device"
holded down power button and selected "Restart"
Device seems done.

Any other troubleshooting steps?
Did SX OS just killed my console?
Will i have any issues replacing Nintendo Switch as of warranty? (not banned)

Thank you

Hi guys. I didnt update or use my Switch and SX OS for like 7 months and wanted to ask something: I saw there is an option for emunand now. Whats the advatage of it? Can i lets say install the emunand (to a separate microSD) boot the SX into emundand and use the sx the way its supposed to be used there and at the same time have an original nand running (again data on separate SD) and actually use the original NANd for online gaming with games i own physically? For info my switch currently is on 6.1, i have two NAND backuckps before any modifications: 5.1 and 5.1 with exfat support. In case i understood currently the procedure would be to flash back the 5.1 exfat firmware, make a emunand copy and then update the O-Nand to be used online and use the EMUnand on second card for SX OS purposes (also to be updated but not online). Correct?

You don't need two SD cards. All emunand stuff goes into the automatically created emutendo folder (instead of the nintendo folder).
And yes, with a clean sysnand you can go online and play legit games online. While keeping all homebrew or piracy or whatever to emunand which you keep offline.

Personally I would go about it slightly different, just to make it easier.
1) Flash your backup,
2) then update the console online,
3) link a nintendo account if you want,
4) delete the internet settings,
5) create emunand
6) boot normally into sysnand and input the internet settings again
7) .... profit?

The way you described it would work too, but you add more steps, because you would need to go find the newest firmware and update with choidujour. The end result would be the same though.

Thank you. Got one more question: should I do anything regarding the fuses? The last update I did was without burning fuses. Is there any reason to apply the update process in a way (is that even possible?) not to burn fuses? Thanks!
