Hacking Question Already have SX OS, but want to buy SX PRO ...

[tangerines]

Hi guys, I have already bought and used SX OS on my switch, however the SX PRO has recently come back in stock and I have purchased one as I want the freedom to not always use my PC to inject the payload.

How do I switch to using the PRO dongle ? I already have a SX OS licence on my switch, will there be any conflict?

Thanks!!

You don't need it - you can just use an android phone or tablet and NXLoader. As most people are more likely to carry a mobile with them - it's easy to do it that way, you just need to use the correct cable from your mobile to your switch - boom - job done!

IF there would be any 'conflict', it would be only the license.dat
You probably need to change it to the new one.

Otherwise, no

Just plug it in and it works.

No conflict at all and you have spare license on dongle.

I don't have a android phone or a jailbroken iPhone......so if I plug it in will it just load the payload? Can I leave the licence on the dongle unused? and activate it for another switch if I buy another one in the future?

You could temporarily remove the license.dat and the license_request.dat and generate a new one, write down the pros license key from the album and change the files back. Now you can continue to use the SX os license and sell the pros license(or save it

Don't think that would work due to the console fingerprint. Each SX OS from a Pro or not is tied to that console.

You could just sell it to someone you know who has a Switch, non-hacked. You install the license on that switch, and then you use your Pro dongle on yours without a problem.

not the fingerprint. the sx os licenskey that gets displayed whe you open the album. it should be possible to use the SX Pro key to aktivate a SX OS via the PC

Is that the actual activation code same as you'd get just buying SX OS?

 

[lufeig]

get a portable router, patch it and it'll inject the payload just like the sx dongle

I got myself a nexx wt3020f

it works wonderfully as a router and it injects the payload into the switch

You dont need to remove anything. Just use it normally. And when you get another switch in the future, you can use the embeded licence of dongle. Thats what I did.

Yeah, from everything I've read there's no way to "extract" the activation code from the Pro if you already activated a SX OS first on your Switch.

So I can just plug in the dongle and use it without needing to activate the licence in the PRO, then only use it when I need to on another switch? Thanks everyone for helpinng out!! I am just wrapping my mind around this

Exactly, use the dongle without doing anything besides booting the SX OS and its licence file will stay there. And when you get other switch one day, you can activate dongle’s licence file.

Great, that makes it sound so much less complicated as it is just plug and play.....!! Thanks again for your help

Can I make another suggestion?

Can be a multipurpose utility you keep paired with your switch.

If you can find a cheaper windows 10 tab even better. I have one of these and its very convenient with a micro USB to USB C

That would be a waste of $40 since he already paid for a license. No sense in wasting the single-use license on the dongle on a system already licensed.

I don't think he'd be wasting the license, since he is already "activated" he just would simply not generate a new license. The dongle just calls on boot.dat to run. If he removed his license.dat file the os would proceed to generate his valid license and thus burn his one time credit on the license request file. Soooooooooooo if you want the dongle, get the dongle, if your switch dies and you need to replace it, now you're ready to activate again.
