My switch ask me to update to the new FW (but it seems to break current CFW for now) is there a way to remove the pending update? I dont wanna accidentally click it
Boot into maintenance mode by holding volume + and - when turning on the console or if you have AutoRCM, right as you send a payload that boots CFW/OFW. This will automatically clear the pending system update.My switch ask me to update to the new FW (but it seems to break current CFW for now) is there a way to remove the pending update?

That's it.Never done before, so to be clear > boot in maint mode and then just shut off console again? thanks for the quick reply as always
As for your other 2 questions
- Default is sufficient. If there is no Default option or the Default setting does not work, its 32 for FAT32 (and 128 for exFAT)
- All games, updates, and DLC installed to the SD card are stored in the Nintendo folder
Yes as all CFW do. SX OS is just the only CFW to support .XCI loading.Does SX support xci and nps game formats !

I doubt TX would list a reseller who wasn't legitimate on their own site.I check they sellers page hopefully they all legit .
Is sx like the ds flash cart and does not change anything in my system when I don't boot it? Or does it make some changes like a soft mod?
Just load Hekate and dump boot0/boot1 as well as eMMC RAW GPP. The Hekate thread has further instructions on how the dump process is carried out.Is there any good tutorial for completely backing up before loading to CFW? So i can have a good nand backup if something wrong happend.

As for SX OS, much like all of the other CFW, they are loaded only via a temporary exploit meaning if you don't use the exploit, you don't boot up CFW. However this does not mean its as if your console wasn't hacked as there are traces of CFW that persist after the console is shut down and can be sent to Nintendo to flag you for a ban.
Speaking of other CFW, why not use something like Atmosphere or ReiNX? They are free and can accomplish majority of the same things as SX OS, as well as some exclusive features such as NAND backup verification and support for the patched YouTube .NSP

There is no workaround. Firmware spoofing is virtually impossible. The only thing you can do is update your firmware without burning fuses with the homebrew application ChoiDujourNX. Fuses primarily prevent downgrading so if they are not burnt, you preserve a path for lower firmwares in case a new exploit is revealed for them.I’m on fw 4.0.1 is that the one with the chance of a better bootup on further?
Wat do I do if I want to play a game that needs fw 5 is there a workaround on sx?

The name of the game will tell you if its a scene dump (meaning it was provided by a group of hackers who normally provide warez) or if it was some third-party. Scene dumps have the name of the group attached to the dump. .XCI files are 1:1 copies of retail Switch cartridges; anyone can provide these but typically scene groups provide dumps of these. Updates/DLC come in .NSP format and are either installed to the SD card or NAND, just like a game. When a game, regardless if its .NSP or .XCI format, has updates/DLC installed, the Switch will launch them along with the game. Or if you don't want to resort to any .NSP files for your .XCI games, you can pack all of the updates/DLC with this tool.Ok I read up more on that cheers For the info.
With the nsp game formats do they come from a hb free eshop app or trusted dump on net with pic . What kind Of places does xci formats come from?
Also how does game updates and DLC work for them?
I have bought a used switch which comes modded with SX OS. The previous owner didn't provide original NAND backup. I appreciate your help with the below questions:
1. Is there anyway to get the clean backup of NAND now without utilizing SX OS NAND backup?
2. How can I upgrade the OFW safely from 4.x to 6.x?
3. I don't want to use EMUNAND as I plan to play online. Is it safe to delete the EMUNAND?
Thanks in advance.
