Hi guys, I'm new here and new to the modding scene in general. (I did solder a modchip in a Wii over a decade ago with great success) I've followed this thread since it's beginning and been excited to finally mod my switch. However......
I'm a bit stuck with OS SX and wondering if people can help me out or point me in the right direction.
I cannot seem to boot into CFW.? I'll summarise what I've done so far below. Any help much appreciated.
1- Updated OFW to 10.0.4
2- Formatted new 128gb SD with switch
3- Installed SX Core (Luckily, that was the easy bit, I think. Got green light and boot.dat sad SD card)
4- Copied Boot.dat (SX OS, the latest BETA 3.0.2 iirc) to sd card. Put it in switch.
5- Booted switch into to SX made a backup of Nand
6- Removed SD card and saved nand to external drive
7- Booted back into SX OS, hit boot custom firmware. (I fear this may be my wrong doing at this point)
8- Message appears saying there is no license but license request will be added to SD card, I can continue but not everything will work.
9- Click continue. Switch boots into OFW.
10- Switched off, tried again (Probably a couple of times,) same result, OFW.
11- Removed SD, Put it in PC, uploaded license request file and received license file. Put license file on sd, repeated steps to boot CFW, same result = OFW.
12- Created Emunand. (on a hidden partition on SD card) orange box to enable/disable appears above boot into CFW button.
13- Tried booting CFW, keeps booting to normal OFW!
Just formatted card and trying to create emunand as a file system on SD card at the moment.
If anyone can advise where I've cocked up, I'd be most thankful! Apologies for any formatting issues, typing this on my phone!
Edit: For anyone who may read this. I wasn't booting OFW. It was CFW. Guys below pointed out the error of my ways.
I'll leave it up, just in case it helps somebody out.
