Today I got my payload injector dongle from ebay. Does anyone know how to replace / install a payload onto the device?
Cant link or post an image gg.

I don't see an image, but I'm willing to bet it's the NS-Atmosphere. If so the software is on their site ( http://www.ns-atmosphere.com/en/) along with the directions to set up the drivers if needed. It's a very simple process once you get everything set up.

Also note that I had an issue with the app not properly 'Verifying' the file after flashing it. Don't worry, if it 'Erases' and then 'Writes' properly and fails in 'Verify' it should still be ok.

If it's not the NS-Atmosphere then please try to post a pic or a link (or even just describe any writing on it and what it looks like) and see if someone can identify it.

Hmm never seen that one before. Will do a quick search around AliExpress and eBay to see if I can find it...

Is it flat with a letter S on it?

I also have no idea how you ended up not buying an NS-Atmosphere, it's literally 95% of the results for "Switch Payload" on AliExpress lol. How much did you pay for it, I got the NS for about $10 and it works great.

I was very new to the Payload stuff when I ordered it. I payed 7€.

OK found it! No idea what that is. Does it not have a MicroUSB port anywhere on it? Otherwise I have no idea if you can even change whatever payload they have on it.

Looking at the video on the page it looks like it boots "SD Files" so I assume it's a built-in Hekate payload? I'm pretty sure there's no way to program it through the USB-C plug so unless there's a microUSB port on it (and I don't see one) my guess it it has a Hekate payload built into it which isn't the worst thing to have but useless if you wanted to use it with SX OS.

If you want to waste another few pounds I'd highly recommend the NS-Atmosphere... works as described and built pretty solidly.

Nope, there is no MircoUSB. Just the male usb-c. The title also says SX OS, but it also does not boot. I also opend thge dongle. There is no button, on other connection, nothing :/

Well what also concerns me is how is it powered then? Both the official SX dongle and the NS need to be charged to work. I don't know if it might charge while attached to the console?

Have you tried just trying to put the latest SD files on a card and try to boot with Hekate? I don't think it'll work with SX OS if there's no way to reprogram it, and the page doesn't mention anything about how to reprogram it.

I think so. In the device are two batteries.

The Board says "NTD__STM32_V2.1_20180820", but google also dont find it.

I think they only mentioned SX OS to sell the thing. It looks to me like it's hardcoded with some kind of Hekate payload, but even the stuff they load in the video doesn't look familiar at all and their SD Files version is something like v5 and that wouldn't sync up with what the latest official SD files would be, it's more like v9 now...

They are capacitors. It doesnt look like it is upgradeable at all then if there is no micro usb port to flash it. I would email the seller and try and return it as it isnt up to the job!

 

[Albytrozz]

Wow check out the video of it on the product page... this thing is weird! (https://bit.ly/2Q5BN9V )

When it 'launches the payload' it appears to take several seconds, and then it looks like it runs some custom SD Files and OS off of the 'dongle'. But look how the light keeps flashing, it looks like it's literally loading the OS off of the device.

The NS-Atmosphere and SX Pro only launch the payload and that's it... it shouldn't keep loading anything afterwards, in fact you can remove it immediately after injecting.

So I don't know what that thing is but I'd love someone with tech knowledge to take one apart and tell us what it's doing!

I've only seen @ShadyGame and @DaRk_VaMpiRe11 mention having that dongle. See if they figured it out.

 

[DaRk_VaMpiRe11]

No, im sry. I have that dongle.
But i have No Idea how to Change The payload. I wrote The seller, Spend houres to Search PC drivers for Thema dongle.
But i found nothing sorry.

Any chance of a pic of the board? I could probably build something for it. Chainloader maybe?

 

[DaRk_VaMpiRe11]

Here are the Pictures.
But even If i Connect the Board to my Laptop via USB, i cant find a Mass storage, or something Else in the Hardware Manager.

Do i understand right that your dongle has sxos payload on it? You can always use this tool to convert any other payload to a sxos boot.dat, i used this to convert rajnx payload and it worked.
