Hacking Question Anybody bricked with the fake sx payload?

REINX is safe and works very well

I think this thing was released in a few places at once, so its probably more than just a handful. The bigger problem is that this code is out in the open now, and you could run into it pretty much anywhere now.

I guess the best thing to do is first reporting it everyplace you see it, and keep a copy of the brick payload to compare checksums if you download one

I cannot understand why people want a "backup loader", why not just buy the original game outright, it’s hardly a huge expenses, if you can afford the actual handheld/console Nintendo Switch then surely you can afford to pay 30 pounds/35 dollars to buy a game, if not go down your local CEX game sell/exchange shop and sell an old switch retail game to them get the money from that and buy the game.

Interesting. Piracy is bad but used game sales are ok. It's ok if the devs don't get paid as long as GameStop gets paid.

The sad part is that this works..

its crazy how people are hating on TX but want to use their software so bad

and end up bricking there system with a fake tx os
kinda ironic

Ahaha "Fuck TX those greedy bastards...Oh wait a cracked SX OS let me grab it immediately!!"

I made the exact same mistake and bricked my switch. But now I revived it with a Backup. I restored all the partitions from an old backup seperately and not just the complete raw bin. So the brick seems NOT to be written into BOOT0/1 or USER partition. It has to be one of the other partitions. Good luck everyone.

How ? I made it from a 5.0.1 backup and seems my package2 got screwed

Brick it again then restore the partitions one by one to find out which one fixed it. /halfsarcasm

I have a copy of the brick payload. If you guys want, I can send via messages :V.

I'm actually thinking of getting a copy then making a thread with its every possible checksum.

Well my brick seems to be a little different than most people describing it here. I'm on Firmware 4.1 or 4.0.1, not quite sure. And my switch tried to boot but I got an errorcode everytime, not a bootloop. Maybe It is trying to write into serveral partitions and It didnt work on my fw.... And I don't really know which partitions are in Package 2?

Better just write down here an MD5 hash of the file or something. Avoid propagating that file further.

Bc there poor fucks who don't want to spend money. I'm happy that the few people who got bricked got bricked

that's not nice, it's not their faults. Even if they deserved punishment, a brick is over the top...

I'm too scared to be honest...

At least I can say that I didn't restore USER, Boot0 and Boot1. So in my case it was something else.

What error code do you get?

Yeah, absolutely don't do it if you don't want to, I'm glad you got it fixed.

Dude it's literally $25 to buy the software if you can't afford that how did did you even buy a switch like come on

Your error seems different from others, it may be a partial 'success' of the brickcode unlike others.

Why do you asume they bought it. It could have been a gift or they could have won it in a competition or stole it from someone ect. They may have bought it then been fired from their job so no money any more ect ect Stop being so judgmental.

It took me 6 months to get a switch last year... I'm still a kid and small youtuber, how much do you think I'm earning?
Though, I did purchase the sx pro and am still waiting, I don't think a brick was necessary for those hit...
