Hacking Question Black Screen when trying to boot, new hardware released ?

[mohalz]

Everything is working fine on my pc, i can hear the "windows device plug in sound" when the switch is into RCM and the switch is listed in the device manager as "libusbK USB Devices" - "APX"

it happened to me i'm on linux and it did not launch altu the switch was listed as apx so i went ahead and i tried with windows and it worked

 

[Milenko]

They're using windows

 

[Paulsar99]

Maybe there some slight hardware changes on the new units that makes hekate/sx incompatible but still allows you to enter rcm mode though.

 

[mohalz]

They're using windows

maybe for him he should try linux since he did everything

 

[Milenko]

Really shouldn't have to though

And they've tried 2 different pcs

Maybe it's a cable issue.
Is TegrasmashGUI saying "detected" when you connect it to the PC?

 

[Wezaa]

What cable are you using when using NX loader?
When I tried nxloader from my switch to my s8+ I was using the changing cable for my S8+
Which is USB-A to USB-C, but I used an A-C adaptor one the A end.
I had to plug the adaptor end into the phone, if I plugged it into the switch it didn't work.

Also, just to be sure, what are you using to enter RCM? A printed jig? A paper Clip?

 

[Milenko]

But it says it's smashing the stack

 

[Picooz]

I have just tried on linux and it doesnt work, the switch screen stay black

Yes on Windows TegrasmashGUI says that it detect the RCM device. (and then "payload injected")

[email protected]:/home/ubuntu/Downloads/fusee-launcher-master# python3 fusee-launcher.py payload.bin

Important note: on desktop Linux systems, we currently require an XHCI host controller.
A good way to ensure you're likely using an XHCI backend is to plug your
device into a blue 'USB 3' port.

Identified a Linux system; setting up the appropriate backend.
Found a Tegra with Device ID: ------------

Setting ourselves up to smash the stack...
Uploading payload...
Smashing the stack...
The USB device stopped responding-- sure smells like we've smashed its stack. :)
Launch complete!

Im using a paper clip, it never fails

I bought my switch in Tokyo (BIC camera) 10 days ago and it came with 4.1.
There is 99% chance there is NO hardware revision out yet.
You said tegrasmashgui can inject payload, and then you can see the payload on switch screen ?
Can you load hekate ?
Did you try different payloads ? Which one?

 

[Picooz]

No i cant see the payload on switch screen (it's stay black)
I tried biskeydump, hekate (ipl & ctc), SX 1.3 & 1.2

I bought mine at Yodobashi (akihabara). Are you still in Japan ? ^^

Hi Picooz,

I am having the same problem with you.
What is the model, year on the back of your Switch ?
Mine is 2018 HAC-S-JXE-C3

 

[jimmyj]

pls don't be a mariko

 

[numbawun]

my switch sometimes like that..

i just restarted my switch on ofw.. then

when on ofw put the RCM Jig while switch still on.. then hold power dont click power off just click Restart then hold Volume + and dont hold power then plug the cable now.

on windows 10 doesnt work then i use nxloader it ok. if it stay on black screen.. unplug the cable again then plug it again. until switch load the payload correctly

 

[scroeffie]

not a expert at all . can they change the usb port not to recieve data just for power and rcm mode ?
or somekind of software block to recieve payload

 

[isoboy]

Could it be....COULD it be...that some Nintendo folks are reading these posts laughing to themselves a little bit now?

I am having the same problem with OP.
I don't have any random issue on my 2 switch consoles at all.
I just purchased another switch console 2 days ago and I failed to send any payload to it.
Using the same PC with my other 2 consoles, both of them works fine but not this newly purchase switch.

this and that other guy just don't know what they are doing. I got a new switch a week ago on 4.1 and it was fine. these guys are just idiots.

I know exactly what I am doing, I can boot up another 2 older consoles just fine.

Can you check on the back of your nintendo switch for year and model ?
Mine are:
2018 HAC-S-JXE-C3 = does not work
2016 HAC-S-JP/EU-C0 = works fine
2017 HAC-S-JP/EU-C1 = works fine
Thanks.
