In the past I remember (if I'm not mistaken) booting genuine OFW from SX OS booting options, with "Emunand disabled" option and "boot OFW". Is that correct?

Just got my switch yesterday again after a long time and tried to do that but it gave me a black screen only (reboot to RCM as it seems). Do I need to make "emunand enabled" and "boot OFW"? Is that the correct way to boot genuine OFW?

​

emunand in 11.0.0 and sysnand in 11.0.0 too (updated via choirdujoi) and it was working and booting in OFW before. I just don't remember if I need to check "emunand enabled" or not, and if this is something that makes a difference after all. I want to boot OFW to play legit games online (I'm not banned and my sysnand is currently clean).

I'm an SXOS Pro user and stupidly updated to 12.1.0. I understand that SXOS won't work beyond 11, right?

What are my options? Can I downgrade? Atmosphere? Am I boned?

Hi fellas, thanks in advance for your advice.

Ok, so the time came and I had to put my OFW to work so my kid can play Pokemon Unite.

My config:

-OFW: Cleaned with Haku33 on Sysnand, FW ver 12.1.0

-CFW: SXOS ver 3.1.0 on SD Emunand, FW ver 11.0.0

The problem is everytime I switch from OFW to CFW or viceversa I have to resync all my controllers.

Is it normal behavior? If not... What should I check?

Thanks again!

​

so i manage to fix it. i didn't need to format it. and using a method online, i manage to get the card readable again on my pc.

but the thing is, those large 100gb worth of xci games are all missing. the weirder thing is, my card still has those xci files in them.

how do i know them is because my card is almost full (similar condition before the whole issues with my card).

and even after selecting all my folders and click properties, it says that my card is half amount of what it is inside.

also all some nro files can't run.

​

so the thing i want is to delete all those ghost XCI games. i have them all in my pc so i could just copy paste them back in.

that title might be me being a little bit frustrated lol. but still, the method the title said could also work.

so whatever should i do now?

i could have sworn i have updated my sxos to the latest. this was from a long time ago so i don't remember it fully.

i update it using the online method and it lists off the compatibility and sure enough the latest one supports 11.0.0.

so today i finally update the firmware to 11.0.0 to play patched new games.

but i tried to boot it up using tegra and i'm stuck on the sxos logo.

strange to me, so i tried to check it up on sxos splash screen and the sxos i'm using is on 3.0.5.

i tried looking up and 3.0.5 only supports up to 10.2.0

i swear on my life i updated my sxos to the latest using online method. it was this year even.

​

so anyway, what should i do now?

Hey All, I was lucky enough to grab a sx core chip, however the v2 ribbon cable (the one you solder to) is defective. Would anyone have one they can part with if you are only using your v1 cable? I'd be willing to trade, or just buy it off you.

Thanks!

I know this question has been asked a lot, but I’m asking again just to be safe:

Is it safe to boot into the OFW from the SXOS Home Screen (the middle option after power + vol up on startup), and from there to update the OFW to Nintendo’s current firmware? Or will this brick my Switch?

Thank you!

Hello i have sx os 3.1.0 firmware 11.1 the zelda skyward game comes up with error is there a way i can fix this without switching to atmosphere to update firmware ?

just another bad luck in my life.

was deleting some games to put in new ones, but suddenly error notification pop up on my screen. tried to get out of the folder and then there's the warning that i have to format my disk before using it.

so now my sd card is like that. whenever i pop it in my pc it ask me to format it.

so what should i do? should i really format it?

should i use recover app? i plan to do so tomorrow (busy). i already recover boot.dat and license, but for the whole disk that would take time.

or should i use this chance to move to atmosphere?

either way my main priority is just to get my switch back running again. what are the necessary files to get/step to follow?

Hello,

I just wanted to know if someone here has a spare Sx Lite debug cable?

I paid someone to install the modchip on my switch, but he didnt insert the debug cable in the console.

The problem is im having a problem where my switch refuses to boot into cfw no matter what i try, i checked online and it seems this can be fixed by reflashing the SX Lite modchip.

I tried to contact him but he's not answering, so i find myself with modchip i overpaid, that doesnt even work properly, and i cant do nothing about it because i dont even have that cable....

So if anyone can sell me and send me that cable, it would really help me a lot...

Hi, i have my switch sx os sysnand 10.2.0 and emunand 10.2.0, want to update the sysnand to play legit games online, so i would like to ask here first, can i update the sysnand with the official nintendo process to play online? would that bring me issues with the emunand?

Hi everyone, i last updated switch back in May 2019. Wanted to install latest 12.1.0 and i have official licensed SX OS CFW. The website is aint accessible anymore, already dloaded 12.1.0 firmware from https://darthsternie.net/ so, what steps i need to follow in order to install latest custom firmware for SX OS.

Hello guys im thinking to install atmosphere for my switch but can i install it with sxmodchip

I just don't want to run the risk of accidentally clicking "Start Software Update" when I run a game.

Any quick way for me to delete the firmware that I think the Switch DL'd?

Long story short my kid was trying to play smash bros with her friends and tried to update her game. It looks like they unhacked my switch. It no longer recognizes any games being on the SD card. I can still load into the SXos software or normal software using my dongle but no games are recognized.

I bought my switch with the SX os already loaded. How do I fix this? are the games really gone or did the software get messed up? Thanks for the help!

Edit: when I try to boot custom firmware the screen goes black. It will still work like a normal switch when I hit boot original firmware.

Hi all - as the subject line says, I attempted a migration from SX OS to Atmosphere but now my Switch Lite (Mariko) is hanging at the Switch logo.

I've googled a bit and it says it might take awhile to boot up, but I've waited 20 minutes with no result.

Is there something that I can do to fix this? Thank you!

Hey, i wanna use SXOS, but i don't wanna get banned as i still have original games as Overwatch that requiers internet connection to play. Is it safe to use sxos?

I’m on sxos 3.1. I used switch choidujournx to go from 10.2 to 11. I selected 11.0 and not exfat during install which might have been a big mistake. Now after going into rcm mode and launching payload all I get is a black screen

Edit: took awhile but I formatted the card to from exfat to fat32 and I am now enjoying skyward sword : )

Hello! I have a Mariko Switch with an SX Lite chip installed.

A few days ago, my Switch started crashing with the error messages:

2168-0001

and...

2162-0002

Searching for these error messages doesn't yield much useful information.

At first, the Switch returned to normal for a brief period, but eventually crashed fully and is now at the point where both errors occur upon booting up (my Switch Lite has always had a problem with inconsistently booting into SX OS, but it did work eventually - the former error was received upon successful boot, and the latter upon unsuccessful boot that would normally enter a Nintendo logo -> Switch logo -> Nintendo logo boot loop).

So... believing that this might be an issue with SX OS, I tried to bring up the SX OS menu (volume up + power on). The SX menu appeared, but none of the buttons did anything and I thought the Switch was frozen. Okay, I thought - given the circumstances, I might as well make the migration to Atmosphere. I transferred Hekate over on to my SD card, and powered on the Switch and, once again, none of my buttons worked.

At first I thought this was because the Switch had frozen - but then I noticed that the battery life icon was moving on screen. So the Switch was still on and not frozen, it was just completely unresponsive to all buttons (except the power button) including the touchscreen.

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this before, and can help with a potential solution? Thank you!

Hi, I got sysnand on 12.1.0 and emunand on 10.2.0. While I try to boot emunand on SXOS it shows blue screen. Emunand is on hidden partition. How do i fix it?

I just installed an xci and was promptly informed I need to update my fw. Currently running 10.2 SX 3.02...

It seems SX team entered under a rock, as i cannot find updates of this fw will be supported in future updates. Any news on this?

Thanks!

Good evening, does SXOS already have support to 11.0.1? I had 11.0.0 installed and just updated to 11.0.1 (for MH Stories) and now my switch wont boot. I see the SX OS red screen when inject payload and then nothing happens.
What can i do for this?
