Hacking SXOS Injector Usable?

[YamiPrem]

Hi there

I have migrated from SXOS to Atmosphere but was wondering can I still use the SXOS payload injector thingy for Atmos for example?

If not, what's a good cheap Atmos injector as I don't always have my laptop around to use Tegra.

Thanks.

Your options are RCM Loader and NS Atmosphere if you want a payload injector.

You could always convert a .bin format payload to boot.dat format using the github link below

You can convert the payload you are using, like fusee-primary, hekate and so on to boot.dat that can be used with the SX dongle on this site

Thanks. Didn't know these converters existed!

It was a site i stublem over a couple of weeks ago when trying to find a way to reflash the SX dongle with another payload

If you want to convert and update the payload for your dongle just once and never have to do it again, I recommend to use this payload.

It will boot \atmosphere\reboot_payload.bin on your SD card (which comes pre-installed when you update atmosphere). You can of course change the default reboot_payload.bin (which is fusee-primary.bin renamed, by default) to any other payloads, such as hekate or something else.

This is what I just did. I used the new fusee.bin and converted it to boot.dat. I can use the sxos dongle and start up atmosphere. Works great!

There is an official SXOS payload that points to a directory and a payload file. It's was for SX Gear which is the same thing. Works great. Just to be thorough, I use a converted boot.dol from the converter above myself..

Never actually tried it but when you plug the sxos dongle into a pc does it read as a media drive like the rcm ones do? Like literally just replace the files on it?

No it doesn't, it only charge

So how do you update the payload on it?

This. I put the hekate payload on this site and the boot.dat generated on my SD card root and I can now use the SX OS dongle to boot Hekate (then Atmosphere).

So how do you update the payload on it?

You can't. We can only modify what the payload boots into which is boot.dat on the SD card.

Great! Will try this out this evening!

EDIT: Works great on my AMS 1.1.1!

You can't. We can only modify what the payload boots into which is boot.dat on the SD card.

So Let me see if I got this correct. The dongle tells the switch the name of the file to load. Different dongles load different named files. So in this particular case to use a sx dongle (which loads boot.dat) we need to change or convert the files on the sd card. Correct? Not change the files on the dongle.??

Different dongles will work in different ways but for the SX Pro / SX Gear you can't change the built in payload. The payload that is built in will automatically load boot.dat which could be SXOS or it could be something that pretends to be SXOS then chain loads another payload from the SD Card. Imo the nicest way to do it is to use the official SX Gear boot.dat file because then you don't need to create a new boot.dat every time you update your payload, you can just place it on the SD Card and have it load a regular payload from the SD Card called payload.bin
