After using 2.9 and it failed at flashing firmware 0/6 I managed to get my system back by using the downgrade method also someone had provided me with the 6.1 exFAT fw mod that you need to create in step 4. The file I also had been given did not have the USER/SAFE folders and still worked for the downgrade with skipping them.

I had no NAND backup but I do now after I got it to boot on 9.0.

Just make sure to upgrade to 9.0 using 2.8 before you put 2.9 back on.

Im pretty much stuck on step 4. i have tried so many keys but none work. Can you provide me the 6.1 exfat fw mod? Ive been going crazy for the last 3 days.

Hi guys,

I'd like just to report that I followed the Atmosphere 9.4 method and it properly worked for me.
I was in the same condition, that means black screen after updating with Choidujour and without any nand backup.

I'm still on 8.1.0 using SX OS 2.8 and I've been using SX installer 1.4 for a while and decided to try 2.0. I barely see it initializing before I crash to error 2168-0002. Everything else works just fine.

I dont have my Switch in front of me, but i fixed this by going into the sx folder you installed with the installer and deleting the cache folder. Dont just empty the folder, delete the folder. After that when you start it you will get a tinfoil error but you can just click ok and go into the installer like normal.

Sir please provide more information, what version of SX OS with SWITCH Firmware you were last time using when it was working correctly.
What exactly you done, when it stopped working, how you updated your switch, using official firmware or using ChoidujourNX methoud, if ChoidujourNX what version you were using v1.0.2 or v1.0.1. After update have you put boot.dat from last SX OS firmware to your SD Card and so on
After that someone will try to help you, but with that lack of information that you provided, its impossible.
Thank you for undestanding
Best regards

6) SX OS 2.9(.1)(.2) BETA on firmware 9.0.0: No longer allows you to install incognito. **Unknown if issue corrected in SX OS 2.9.2**
8)
SX OS 2.9(.1)(.2) BETA on firmware 9.0.0: Attempting to use cheats when using XCI from external SSD/HDD will cause an error. *Cheats work when used with XCI via MicroSD. ***Unknown if issue corrected in SX OS 2.9.2**
10) SX OS 2.9.1(.2) BETA on firmware 9.0.0: Attempting to use controller buttons within some Homebrew apps fail to work. **Issue present in SX OS 2.9.2 with full ram access**

6) I don't see why people feel the need to use incognito with SX but I won't knock it because I understand the mindset.

8) I think that's solved with the changes to cheats and XCI loading. Test it if you have the time, you know me I'd love to hear about it.

10) What homebrew are you using? That wasn't observed at all and I'm not seeing it now either. TIA

I was on fw 6.1.0 and updated to 9.0.0 with the 2.9b and choidujour 1.0.1 and now I cant do nothing with my switch. Can’t boot into ofw. I always get a blackscreen and can’t boot into cfw because I get a blackscreen too. Tried to install atmosphere 0.9.4 and get a blackscreen too after starting atmosphere. I have no backup. I don’t care for my files and savegames. I just want my switch to work Again. Is there a workaround how I can complete the firmware update or how I can downgrade without doing the complicated hekete thing ?

Are you before this all happened were using SX OS or Atmosphere?
Anyway try to do this :
  1. Turn the console off.
  2. Remove SD Card.
  3. Hold down the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons, along with the Power button, to start up the console in Maintenance Mode.
  4. Select Initialize Console, and follow the on-screen instructions.

is it safe using 2.9.2 ? just accidentally updated to 9.0.1 and I don't want to shred my Switch
You will burn your game cart fuse if you load sx os with 9.0.1, you will no longer be able to play game carts on firmware lower than 9.0.0. If that doesn't matter to you then you should be good. There are still a few reported bugs that I haven't personally verified whether or not they are fixed in 2.9.2 such as incognito and SSD/HDD issues. Also, make sure you do not have lock screen theme installed, will not work.

Anyone else getting SXOS Error "2168-0002"? I get to the Nintendo and then Switch splash screens and the error pops up. I was running on 8.1 and the compatible SXOS version at the time. I upgraded to 9.0.1 and used the new SXOS Beta and it won't boot past that.

This is why when people say that SX OS is obsolete, you should listen
But they're not. They offer things atmos doesnt you're literally lying and misusing that word from bias. Until atmos offers EVERY. SINGLE. THING. That tx does, its, by definition, NOT obsolete. Stop being an immature idiot fanboy. I swear atmoshills are so fucking obnoxious. You like atmosphere? Fine. Use it. But stop being a douche to people who CHOOSE to use sx. Let people have opinions instead of being an immature child.

So the final verdict is that 2.9.2 beta works with 9.0.1 but it breaks playing physical game carts? what about installing from XCI instead of just loading the XCI cart?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but for ppl that can't get physical game cart to work is due to efuses not matching with the FW.
