TX is back with a major update to your favorite SX Installer app.
And with the release of v2.0.0 that means a lot of very nice new features.

It has been a while since SX Installer was updated, but earlier today TX released v2.0.0 which brings with it a number of nice improvements as you can see in their changelog below, and one of the amazing new features is that you can now upgrade and downgrade your Switch firmware with ease and safety, as simple as installing a NSP game on your Switch!

• Added XCI installation
• Added on-the-fly standard crypto install
• Standard crypto conversion hard drops minimum firmware requirement
• Added socket.json for fine tuning socket settings
• Added system firmware version check before installing
• Added google drive directory and file support
• Plugging in USB cable without SX Server no longer hangs SX Installer
• Added ability to reset minimum version nag in the application record.
• Fixed an out of memory crash.
• Added stability for 8.1.0 firmware.
• Improved Korean Translations.
• Added firmware installation.
• Added dropbox support. url syntax: dropbox:/token:here@/
• Miscellaneous bug fixes..
• Enabled compression on database files.
• Added hosts for custom host entries.
• Fixed game launching.
• Improved stability.
• Added ability to install save game at time of install.
  (unzips titleid.zip in the NSP to the games save)
• Added ability to install save games from zip files.
  (title id must be in brackets i.e. "doom fix [010018900DD00000].zip)"
• Fixed error installing certain titles over USB.

That's all for today. Stay tuned!

is this version can copy files inside a folder example : /sxos/titles/xxxx/cheats/zzzz.txt
(from usbhdd to sdmc) ?

I get a lot of errors when updating the firmware using tinfoil. First try it just said it couldn't delete the NCA files (20 times). After reboot it says I need a software update in order to use a gamecart. In the menu I can perform an update it it looks like it is working.

On the second try it keeps giving errors that it failed to register {long string} and failed to register placeholder NCA {long string}
After reboot it says I need a software update in order to use a gamecart again.

Edit: I just updated with ChoiDujourNX and now all is well.
Edit2: It still shows the update 8.1.0 in system updates section eventhough I do have that now.

Thanks for updating the installer it took a while but worth it I’m mainly interested in the firmware grade options. I wander if this does a fuse check on downgrading I think this would of been a good feature for lots of users because it seems a big problem with ChoiDujournx, it sounds like it does, grade with ease and safety but no actual confirmation on this. That would be very good idea as an easy option so you could run a quick check on your fuse count without having to actually force grading your switch or having to run hekate I should think most users forget what there switch firmware was originally on before flashing.

he can be helpful as long as it has nothing to do with SX, just search for SX posts where he 'assumes' many things about SX and TX, I doubt he would call himself a TX fan . But for his efforts from the 3DS days and anything not to do with SX or TX he can and usually is very helpful

I help people with SX OS. In fact, I did so in this very thread.

I just can't recommend using SX OS for various reasons I won't re-litigate here. I've also never made any "assumptions" about SX OS.

I would appreciate it if you would tag me if you're going to talk about me.

Which FW version did you upgrade from?

A brick requires you to repair it to boot, autorcm doesn't require repairing to boot.

It takes user action to boot it, but then all switches require user action to boot.

Interrupting a bootloop with an exploit like fusee gelee is arguably a type of softbrick-repair. Lots of brick-repairs work similarly (i.e. loading something in a recovery mode in order to interrupt the bootloop, with or without an exploit).

Like I said before, by your logic, any repairable bootloop isn't a brick. If that's how you want to define a brick (i.e. You don't acknowledge the existence of softbricks), that's fine, but it's not how I look at it.

Is it a brick because it doesn't boot until you press the power button?

No, and please don't be disingenuous. A softbrick is defined as a device that may show signs of life but boots unsuccessfully, and it's usually repairable. If pressing the power button causes a device to boot successfully, it's not bricked.

Like I said earlier, this is an argument soley about semantics, and these types of arguments don't hold my interest for very long.

Sell that one and get something like this

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nintendo-Switch-Tablet-Screen-Console-Only-UNPATCHED/112584335673?

Yeah, im gone buy one when i get my sallory. But i Will keep this too. I have many legit games, so nice to have one to play online with. =)

 

[LukySplatoon]

When I launch the nro, my switch crashes. I don't understand why
EDIT: I'm on Emunand and sx os 2.8. My fw is 8.0.1

 

[rastan]

damn when i start the new installer, it gives me an error when try to inititialize at start !
anyone like me?

 

[stewacide]

waiting for overclocking support.

Ditto. I use both SX and Atmosphere, but I could use just SX if it overclocked.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

Making on-console downgrades easier seems like a recipe for disaster. Seen many people softbrick from trying to downgrade with ChoiDujourNX.

Thanks, all those unaware kids need to be reminded TX still exists and brings money to this lovely website! Nevermind this is essentially a proprietary not-so-tested alternative/shameless copy to a perfectly fine free software.

garyopa is not a staff member here. It brings money to MaxConsole, GBAtemp doesn't get a cent.

Yup, same here:

Installer keeps crashing no matter how I launch it (album -> SX interface or any other app -> hbl menu). I tried my card as either exFAT or FAT32. Keeps crashing and never loads. Any thoughts?

 

[rastan]

exactly, i tried with Album or directly (with R), no matter what: it simply crash
any solution?
Im also on latest beta 2.8 and 8.01 emunand

 

[xRock]

Wasn't working for me neither at the beginning.
Then I removed themes folder in /switch/sx/ (sdcard) and it worked!

 

[jaysea]

Which FW version did you upgrade from?

From 8.0.1 to 8.1.0
Using sx installer 2.0.0 and sx os 2.8 beta

AFAIK the RCM signing keys are provided by Nintendo. By default Tegra RCM is unsigned, each vendor sets their own private keys during manufacture to prevent others from running code.

It would be quite odd if Tesla had the ability to sign code that would run on a Switch in RCM and Nintendo could sign code to run on a Tesla in RCM mode.

How we describe things is always about perspective. I don't see the benefit in referring to AutoRCM with language used to describe faults, unless you're doing it to influence people into joining the anti AutoRCM cult.

I never said anything about hating AutoRCM, where'd you bring that anyway. I just don't personally recommend it because it requires a payload everytime. Which is inconvenient for me because i don't have a dongle. AutoRCM is just a edit to the console that makes the switch bootloader to panic so it is a 'fault'. Tegra X1 in switch isn't manufactured by Nintendo. Nintendo just orders it, and Nvidia's keys are there by default.

Won't matter to me until a softmod that doesn't destroy Joy-Cons is found on the latest firmware. Ninjhax and Loadiine was found a mere three years after the systems' respective original releases. PSOload and Twilight Hack were found two years after.
And it's not like we were ever far behind when Nintendo got a hold of themselves. Seedminer and Bannerbomb followed up not long after the original hacks were patched, and Letterbomb happened when Bannerbomb got patched.
Compare that to now. NX-HBMenu got patched, fusee-gelee won't work on all Switches, and what has the community done? My best guess is that they have just sat there, building upon their software rather than cracking the firmware. It feels like the Switch scene thinks that just because some Switches will be hackable until the end of time, they don't need to find any new exploits. That idea is just plain stupid because the Switch Lite is coming out in a little over a month.
Plenty of us have been waiting, either because our Switches are too new, we can't afford new Joy-Cons, or in my case, I'm not allowed to hack my Switch until 2020. There's no way that a system is so stable that it can't be hacked at all. Please...find a way.

Jigs don't destroy the joycons? Where did you get that? The only case i think it would destroy is the Joycon pin bending or the Tinfoil method which can fry the system.

Just get one on ebay they are like 2 dollars.

I still can't get over that it's a Tinfoil fork and it's closed source. Makes me chuckle everytime.
