Hacking Sx Core and Sx Lite , test Units Received

[weatMod]

¿¿¿???






I wouldn't ask for Express shipping because of the customs

do you think we will get packaging this time ?
i was in like the second batch of pros and i never got a box

So unless developers want to support sxos or sxos themselfs start updating the tools no hombrew for patched units or just wait a couple of months-year for the clones to come up with official support of atmos

I'm not sure but maybe you can inyect atmos software to load atmos software.

In my opinion for the early users maybe is best to stick to gaming and emulation, not other kind of administration tools until everything is tested

i ordered from them i hope they at least have some stock in China

I asked them and they haven't received the chips for the time being.. so patience.. another stopper might be everything is messed up with covid stuff and it may take longer than expected

Hello, dear customer,
At present, we have not received any news from the TX team. But the delivery time may around the end of May or in the early of the June. Once we get the SX Core and SX Lite in stock , we will ship your parcel out asap.Please wait with patiently.
Thanks for your understanding!

The bricks will happen unless the software starts locking out options like Choi.

Here in Spain, at least, standard economic shipping hardly ever they packages are stopped, unless they are very heavy or very voluminous.. but I always heard that with these big shipping companies such as DHL, UPS, Nacex, Seur, etc... the packages always pass through customs

The bricks will happen unless the software starts locking out options like Choi.

Sorry I don't know what Choi is... I'm completely new in switch homebrew.. I have a mariko and this is my first time with switch homebrew.

But I understood whereas you can inyect some payload you can enter in different kind of software. Maybe I'm wrong of course

 

[ZachyCatGames]

Bricks have been reported among a few testers in the private TX forum, but just because the testers tried to use tools that mess with the internals of the console and were not written for Mariko and Lite, such as ChoiDuJour or Lockpick.

The bad news is that bricks on Mariko and Lite seem to be irreversible (at least by now).

if only someone made a warning to not run that kind of stuff on mariko

Another video showing the installation on a lite. Shows much better the process than the other and only video available (till now) of Sx lite.

Just uploaded now

I emailed an admin from mod3dscards. They told me their new site url as well. If anyone wants to know so they can log in and check their orders or purchase. Message me and I'll give you the url. Not sure if I should post here.

Can you please DM me the new URL? I'd like to check my order status.

Does anyone know what it says about Machine Learning during the first boot test?

He says that the first 3 times, the switch took a while to connect (to the chip). The chip checks the installation and adapts to the circuit of the console. If everything is alright, a green light will emit

STRAAANGE


that's because there aren't instructions on how to solder it yet + even if you do manage to do that, you won't be able to use it since sxos 3.0.0 hasn't been released, you genius.

Wow i am a genius.... Like tx send test unit without the possibility to test it... StR4nG3!

The first thing he says in the video is that it's not meant as a tutorial but just to show how the installation works overall.

He used a simple soldering iron with a standard, oversized conical tip and no temperature adjustment, solder wire that's over 2x the size of the contacts, sprayed flux all over the board and then "painted" the contacts with a blob of solder hanging from the tip of the iron.

The guy did a lot of the stuff you're NOT supposed to do when soldering and got away with it, so I guess it goes to show the sx lite is not as impossible to install as some people supposed it would be.

Also, about that white thermal paste he applied to the CPU, I'm pretty sure that's "Implastec". It's a VERY cheap thermal compound that's easilly found on electronic components stores here in Brazil. It's thermal conductivity is less than 1W/mK and it's meant for stuff like going between a through-hole voltage regulator and a heatsink, definitely not for CPUs. So if anyone is still worried about what thermal paste to use, if he can get away with using THE cheapest stuff he could possibly find, you'll be perfectly fine with anything that's halfway decent.

There's one thing I can't understand... what happen with that thumb?

About the thermal paste I literally thought it was toothpaste hehe

The video's thumbnail? A lot of bad taste with access to Photoshop, I guess

Nono, his finger hehehe

Oh, no idea then.

I watched the video without skipping now, and he actually shows the thermal paste. It's indeed what I thought it was and he even says he knows it's crap but had it lying around, and that he intends to replace it with something decent later.

It looks like so complicated. I can't solder so im fucked. When is the Open Source of this coming?

An open implementation wouldn't be any different soldering wise.

 

[MrSandstorm]

Even when it does it'll probably require soldering too. If you're not comfortable with doing it yourself, you could either look for someone experienced to do it for you, or wait for a software-only exploit to come out in the (probably not near) future.

no way of knowing if he actually got away with it till a few months from now
if that thing overheats and melts away the solder used to put in the TX lite chip and he can;t boot then i guess he will know
