Hacking Boot custom firmware black screen help

[JPCtheGamer]

Just wondering if anyone could help. I am on 7.0.1 firmware and using the sx pro dongle, jig and license. I formatted the microsd card with exfat and installed boot.dat and sxdumper.nro but when I go to boot custom firmware, it just goes to a black screen. I tried both 2.5.3 and the 2.6.1 beta os that are listed but no difference. I've seen other threads with similar problems but I'm lost on where to go from here. Thank's a lot

Do you have exfat update?

Do you have exfat update?

The switch showed a message at first that said a system update was required to use a microsdxc card so I did that update. Thank's

did you ever get to the bottom of this bud? I am having the exact same issues you are having. Same firmware versions. Tried same custom firmware versions. A bit stuck at what to do...

Try 2.62 Beta, the issue was addressed in that update.

i just did. Still doesn't work. What happens now is when i go to start custom FW, the nintendo logo flashes then i get a black screen and it doesnt move past that.

Sorry, a bit of a newbie here. Do you mean if i went through and created an EmuNAND? if so then yes, i did. i am following the exact instructions from the sxpro website

THat update updated you to 8.0

I believe the issue is the hidden partition here, you have to go with the file on SD route, I'm not exactly sure why the hidden one doesn't work, check your SD card on your computer if you see an unallocated space then it is hidden partition.

Not me, im definitely still on 7.0.1. I have been on 701 for a while now. Only bought the sxpro yesterday and been trying to figure it out all yesterday and today evening. I have my autoupdate turned off and am on airplane mode too.

I was having no luck with the hidden partition yesterday so tried the SD route just before to no success as well before posting here.

If you tried with 2.62 Beta then I have no idea, then you probably have to end up using another CFW then like Atmosphere.

I created an account just to comment on how grateful that you suggested to try the beta Hayato213. I was having the black screen and that did the trick. I'd like to also mention to tehtarikmamak that the update you did does upgrade you to 8.0.0. I purchased a 256GB micro sd and did the same thing you did to enable exFAT. I had to load Kosmos then downgrade via ChoiDujourNX.
