Hey guys, so I recently bought an SXOS Pro and I can't seem to boot into the CFW at all. I tried reformatting the SD Card to exFat, Fat32, and I tried getting a new boot.dat, but it still doesn't seem to be booting. The moment I click continue on both the no license and license creation through the album, it goes straight to a black screen and I have to remove the dongle and jig to turn my Switch back on. I tried it before updating to 8.0 since I thought it was because I wasn't updated (which was probably a dumb idea since 3DS modding taught me that's definitely not the way to go before installed CFW.) but yet it doesn't work. Am I screwed? I'm not sure where to go from here. I'm kind of lost on what to do, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

What version of SX OS are you using? I think you need the beta for the latest firmware

When I boot the SXOS, it says that I'm on version 2.5.3, is there a way to update the dongle? Or would I need the latest firmware just on the SD Card like the boot.dat?

Never mind, apparently I can just get the beta boot.dat from the same site, I put it onto my SD card and it works now! Thank you, you were correct and it seems like I can boot the CFW now. Appreciate it!

Yeah no prob. The payload on the dongle hasn't changed since they released it. It's the CFW on the SD that you need to keep updated.

2.5.3 doesn't support 8.x, use the 2.8
