Hacking Don't know if this belongs here.....

Something weird happened to my switch. Earlier today I turned on my switch from sleep mode while it was running SX OS and turned it off completely to run some physical media on my switch. Thing is....it would not boot for anything. 3 hours of trying to boot the thing I decided to connect it to the pc and try something....I used tegrarcm to boot hekate and it did. I was using hekate to restart the switch and it would not work neither trying to boot it after hekate powered the switch off. It was fully charged and it is still running when I boot it from hekate with tegrarcm. Think SX OS screw it up?

Don't you have autorcm?

I just uninstall Autorcm and it fixed the booting issue

your switch normally booted, but automatically to RCM instead of horizon because of the autorcm...

well, sounds to me like everything was working as intended. You apparently just didn't know what AutoRCM is or does.

Hint: With AutoRCM installed, the switch won't boot without a payload.

Hint 2.0: It would also auto boot after like 15 secs after powering it off.

The payload is inside the sx os pro dongle, correct? shouldn't it have still loaded with the dongle installed on the switch?

It should.

First of all, you never mentioned you used the SX Pro dongle.

The dongle will only inject the payload if its capacitors are charged. The fact that your switch didn't boot tells me your dongle wasn't charged.

when autoRCM is installed, it will always boot into RCM. It will never boot into Horizon without a payload.

I forgot about the dongle not being charged. That must be it since it's working now.
