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.

That's all for today. Stay tuned!

Does this programme let me install/play new games without latest firmware like Goldleaf does?

if not, what would be the best way to do this for a file over 4gb as I havent been able to do use Goldleaf with a external USB drive.

yes - tinfoil and lithium have allowed you to install games requiring higher FW for ages. even the SXOS installer v1.52 has allowed this (from memory)

This completely contradicts what you said. I found this whilst trying to look up a tweet that he said that.

highly underrated comment

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.

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

Ummm.... yes autorcm requires repair to boot in the intended way.... Let's pretend for a moment that RCM mode was working as intended and had no flaws. If autorcm was installed, which is the corruption of the BCT. that is by definition requiring repair. You would have to send that to Nintendo who only they can repair a brick like that. BUT! because the code on unpatched units has a flaw in it's verification process (or how we can get around it) then you can boot. But if we are talking from a intended design prospective, then yes it requires repair.
I think you don't understand how the RCM exploit works at all. And thus not autorcm.

Just updated to 8.1 with SX Installer and now I can't boot the switch...it says I'm in RCM and it says it is injecting payload successfully but the switch isn't responding.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Some things to clear up.

There seems to be some confusion in this thread about the fuses and stuff.

The special firmware install feature on SX Installer automatically enables AutoRCM, and it will not install on iPatched switches.

You can downgrade even if your fuses are burnt, but you will only be able to boot using your SX Dongle or other payload system.

You can not boot OFW without RCM on a FW lower than your fuse count.

And for safely reasons we don't recommend going below v5.1.0

This feature is mainly aimed to make it easier to upgrade your firmware for those with banned Switch'es and for those running emunand not wisher to go online.

And the process is simple with one single nsp file instead of zip with bunch of firmware files, and it installs your firmware similar to how nintendo does it officially.

Downgrading is nice touch but does not get around any of the previous pitfalls that other downgrade methods allow, just makes it a bit simpler to operate and use.

I just updated from 7.0.1 to 8.1 with the new Installer and now I can't boot from RCM. I can inject payload but the switch isn't responding to the payload actually being injected.

Septs not encrypted, its open source you can compile it. But you need the correct key to get the compiled version running. TX can easily look at the code.

And SciresM even stated that he doesn't care on twitter.

And don't start a saltfest.

lmao. Sept gets encrypted and signed with the HOVI keys, that's why you need them...

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

And Nintendo signed code wouldn't work with iPatched units, Nintendo signed codes only will work with Horizon.

Uhh, Nintendo does have the key for that stuff...

 

[aos10]

I don't have theme installed and still crashes for me, however i used to have theme installed in the past but uninstalled them.

 

[DaveLister]

IF one is already in auto-RCM (Lost jig on plane borrowed my sons jig to put it in auto-RCM). Can it now safely do the update while having Auto-RCM turned on ? or should I remove auto RCM and just use Choudur.

Can see the post saying this will enable auto-RCM anyway but was wondering if already in AUTO RCM will it brick the boot ? I have themes installed . Not using emmunand.

SX OS doesn't use Sept

 

[smf]

Ummm.... yes autorcm requires repair to boot in the intended way....

No it doesn't, I intend to use a dongle & it boots perfectly well.

If you meant how Nintendo intended then it's none of their business if I modified it.

It doesn't require repairing, or I wouldn't have intentionally done it.

blawar wants to see split files done correctly like how nintendo manages large files on fat32, nintendo places them together in with a directory setup with sticky bit, so it sees all files as one.

the current way split files are done is not right, how i can say it better, not the way Horizon OS itself handles large 4gb+ files on sdcard.

That seems extremely subjective. Why care how Nintendo implements when implementing unauthorised software?

Is blawar really that passive aggressive?

 

[DaveLister]

Christ this thing is slower than a constipated dog shit .

 

[DaveLister]

40mins gone and its not half way through update of firmware , what a load of old bollocks , bet ye itll brick on me too. IT is as if it is downloading and applying the nca's one by one after another and queueing download of next package at each stage WTF ?

Did it go like really unbelievably slow during upgrade ? think i have a 4.1 backup ...... jesus , expecting a brick now as choudour does it in like 2 mins.

 

[DaveLister]

Realized no power supply this could be an oh fuck moment lol.

Started at 60 percent power and it's at 20 now 60 percent done 1 hour in .

 

[DaveLister]

Using exfat (Fuck off I don't care)
Tried to inplace upgrade main sysnand firmware not using emmunand 7.1 to 8.1 on latest SX OS.
Failed to upgrade after 1.5 hour wait time. said to check console - constant rolling tinfoil login fail ?

Thats me done ever using that again will stick to xbins for now .

 

[Deobulakenyo]

Just use choidujournx

 

[DaveLister]

Just use choidujournx

Ye but i thought for a minute there TX SX OS/Blawar/tinfoil/goldleaf was the dogs nads. I was wrong . Back to Choidujournx fo sho. Wont be going back to try that shit again .

 

[ZachyCatGames]

Ok? At what point did I say it does in that post?

 

[gizmomelb]

there are likely to be some people who see your post about Sept in an SX OS thread and equate it to TX stole Sept or some such bullshit.

Just trying to stop any crap derailing this thread with atmos users and more than it has.

Yes.

congrats on the art of removing context. Yes does require repair if it RCM was programmed/implemented the intended way. Simple as that. If you did have autorcm installed in any shape or form, it would be just like the people on ipatched units, a brick. Since clearly you like removing context, let me just quote myself and then bold the important pieces you so kindly removed.

Thanks for wasting my time as a reminder I must add. RCM stands for recovery mode. Literately something that defines the need of repair
and I define intention from a design prospective, which would be Nintendo's perspective/the maker of the product.

Hi all, I'm trying to use the sxserver 1.1 with this and was wondering if that servers scanned folders recursively. I'm going to guess it doesn't but wanted to check in case i'm missing something, thanks!
