I already checked the chip inside. What did installer do with my switch..... I may should consider to contact other installer to correct problems....
Thank you for answer:)

Make sure the whole chip is inside like this.

Can you take some pictures for us to help you better?

Make sure your nand chip is actually clipped into the SX Core modchip itself like in the picture.

Also make sure ribbon cable is plugged in correctly into SX Core modchip.

anyways were you able to track it , and if so what site did you use and which carrier is it, my tracking starts with UF anyone know if yanwen tracking numbers start with UF ?

I am using an iOS app named Parcel. It has a subscription (around 3$ per year in my region), and works like charm. I just added this track code to the app, and the next day the info started to update. It is Yanwen, yeah:)
I wrote to txswitch around 10 days before, to ask about any updates, but nobody answered of course ‍♂️

Same here, I wanted to order from this reseller but they didn't respond to my question so I decided to place an order on aliexpress. I have tracking number already and it has been sent via Aliexpress Standard Shipping which is really fast so I am glad about this decision.

Hi. I requested modchip installer to install sx core in my patched switch but after install the modchip, it is not boot Sx os but only ofw..
The installer don’t understand why it didn’t work. He said there’s no problem with soldering and I read some trustable reviews about his skills before contact him.
Does anyone have same problem with me?
Should I contact other installers or Just forget about modchip?

In order to verify that the mod chip is installed properly you can take the MicroSD card out of the Switch and power it on, if you see the "sad" microsd card logo asking for the boot.dat file that means that the modchip is installed correctly.

Another way to test it would be powering on the Switch and open the photos app from the menu and see it the SX menu opens.

I know it might be confusing bc some people expects a different OS when the SX core is installed, it looks exactly the same as the original OS but with the big difference that when you open the photos app you have got access to the SX menu..

Try those steps and let me know how it goes

When the sx core installed, should the memory card always be inserted?

well that sounds even better
much closer than China or even jamaica
very close to me since i am in Boston
i just hope it is really there and that the entry doesn't mean that it is on it's way there from China, if it is in Jamaica NY then i should receive it pretty quickly i would think since i am not that far away
I'm not sure why, but the website I'm using for tracking isn't giving a delivery estimate this morning. It was earlier though. If you want to track your shipment I believe this one, parcelsapp.com/en/tracking gives you the most detail for your shipment when you put in that really long destination postcode.

A little update from me, I canceled my order at free-switch.com because they didn’t ship it or gave any information.

So I messaged peggy.xie1 and placed my order. And she shipped it the same day.
Very friendly and very fast!
It’s arriving this thursday.

Why are you guys speculating so much when the chip itself literally has a light that tells you whats wrong:
Green - good to go
Blue/purple - bad solder connection
Red - no solder connection

Also whats possible is that the nand module wasnt put into the chip, since the manual is pretty vague about it.

Btw. yanwen isnt yanwen. The cheap yanwen from alieexpress takes months, othet sellers use the premium yanwen shipping which only takes a few days.

Damn thats some nice soldering. Doesnt even look like you attached the 2 anchor points ?

I love it that clean!

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

Woohooo! Finally done! I was almost shit in my pants when i got a bridge when soldering. I thought i fucked up at that moment! Luckily i manage to remove the bridge from using the suction.

Whereas you have the sucker and you don't power on the console, everything is fixable :)

Tanwen from sxswitch is really fast, in about 7 days I had the item at home :).. I couldn't understand those people who paid 30 bucks for an ultra-mega-express delivery only to save 5-6 days

i mean it requires boot.dat so yes
So is it best to keep an extra sd card with all your files on it in case your sd card gets corrupted? Or is keeping them on your laptop fine, just have to reformat it and copy the files over again?

Might be nice if SX Core had an off/on switch like the old chips on the xbox, would make it easy to make it invisible to the original firmware.

@squee666 Incognito isn't needed anymore. You can just edit the exosphere.ini file and make it blank the prodinfo. Much safer imho.
Are you sure? This is what it's in exosphere.ini
# Key: blank_prodinfo_sysmmc, default: 0.
# Desc: Controls whether PRODINFO should be blanked in sysmmc.
# This will cause the system to see dummied out keys and
# serial number information.
# NOTE: This is not known to be safe, as data may be
# cached elsewhere in the system. Usage is not encouraged.

# Key: blank_prodinfo_emummc, default: 0.
# Desc: Controls whether PRODINFO should be blanked in emummc.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
