Hi,
I updated my SXOS firmware yesterday to 2.9.5beta, and used Choixdujour to install the 10.0.2 OFW. Everything went well, as far as i can tell, except for one thing, i do not have access to the boot selction screen anymore. That's the screen with Boot Custom FW / Boot Original FW / Options.
Now, when i boot the switch using the dongle and the jig, i only have Team Xecuter logo (the red screen) and normally i should have the boot selection screen right after, but instead i just have the switch logo, and i directly access the CFW and my homebrews / games, without going through the boot selection screen first. Besides that, everything works fine, i can play my games, use my homebrews, etc, but that damn boot selection screen just won't appear anymore.

Before that, i was on 2.9.3beta and 9.10 OFW and i always had the boot selection screen show up on every single boot. Always. no exception. That's where i did my emuNanD, or NanD backup or whatever it's called (the thing to be able to run homebrews safely without Nintendo finding out), and because the boot selection screen doesn't show up, i cannot access the option to restore it and play my switch with OFW only (online games, eshop etc).
I tried to see if there was an option that i could check to 're-enable' the boot selection screen, but i couldn't find anything. Looked around the internet to find some answers as well, but again, no luck.
At this point i'm pretty much clueless as to what to do next.
A little help would be great!
Pretty please :)

EDIT : i tried deleting the 2.9.5beta boot.dat and used the 2.9.3beta instead, but then when i dongle / jig turn on my switch, i only have the Team Xecuter logo, no boot selection screen, and then a black screen. The switch doesn't boot at all. If i press the power button enough times (without pressing + volume), eventually the switch boots into the OFW. From there i can turn it off, delete the 2.9.3beta boot.dat on my PC and replace it with the 2.9.5beta one. Now it works again but i have the same problem from earlier, which is : i dongle / jig turn on the switch, i get the Team Xecuter logo, NO boot selection screen, then i get the switch logo, and it boots in the CFW where i can access my homebrews / games.

I was thinking about downgrading the OFW from 10.0.2 to a lower version, but i'm not too savvy with these things, and i'm kinda scared of bricking my switch.

Autorcm maybe enabled after the upgrade just keep hold of vol up and power button until the boot selection screen appears.

Hi,
I tried what you suggested.
On my first try, i kept both the power button and + volume pressed even after the Team Xecuter logo disappeared, and it just gave me a black screen. I could boot the switch by pushing the power button normally once more though, but it booted into the OFW, not the CFW.
On my second try, i kept the + volume button pressed up to the Team Xecuter logo, but i just pushed the power button normally and released it right away. And it worked. I got access to the boot selection menu.
Thanks so much.

So yeah, i'm still running the SXOS 2.9.5beta, and the 10.0.2 OFW.
If like me some of you are experiencing switch boots into CFW with no access to the boot selection screen between the Team Xecuter logo and the switch logo, just turn the device off, restart it by pushing the power button normally WHILE having the + volume button pressed all the way to the Team Xecuter logo, and you should have access to the boot selection screen.
