Hacking Question My switch is in RCM mode, however the TegraRcmGui does not recognize my device.

[Cellina]

I'm pretty sure that my switch is in RCM mode since on the control panel, on the device section I can find a device named APX, and also my USB-C type cable works fine when I try to transfer files from my phone to my laptop, which is Samsung S8 (the one which uses USB-C type). Is there another launcher that can load payload and works on Windows? Thanks!

You don't need to use the GUI, it just makes your life a little bit easier however it has a couple of problems with it. Just use TegraSmash. Its the same thing as the TegraRCMGUI but without the GUI. Instead, you will drag and drop whatever .bin file onto the .EXE file

Use TegraRcmSmash and read the README.TXT. Follow the instructions and install the drivers.

 

[Dr.doom]

What kind of mod are you using to get into rcm ? You might not have the zadig driver installed or might want to reinstall it .when not installed Windows will show your switch when you plug it in as apx when installed that apx pop up won't show in the Tegra gui folder there's a folder called apx driver then choose installdriver exe run that then try rcm again.

I tried to install drivers using zadig driver, however the zadig says that the driver installation failed due to requested resources weren't found.

Use the installer inside the tegragui folder its automatic.

But what was the point of posting this in a 3 year old thread?

Are you following the instructions and dragging the payload onto the .exe? Just doubleclicking the .exe will do nothing.

I tried dragging and dropping said bin files no response. 1st time I booted up Tegra GUi and followed the instructions I was getting flickering green and red RCM with the windows chime indicating that the device as connecting and disconnecting. I tried inject the payload once it appeared stable then I got a orange message that showed and hour glass as if working about three minutes then the window (not responding) crash and I could never again get response from TegraRcmGUi it simply refuses to recognize my device's connection.

Some time ago, I switched to NS-USBLoader because it can also send NSP files for installation with a compatible installer. Maybe you'll have more luck using that instead of TegraRCMGUI.
