Hi, i'm brand new to the switch hacking stuff. I have been able to boot into SX OS after using the Payload, until I activated my license, now I can't boot up SXOS.

Backup SD .Copy your "License.dat" and save it somewhere. Download newest SXOS then format sd using the switch and copy boot.dat and license.dat back to card. Now hold Vol+ and tap power(don't hold). You can either continue holding Vol+ to get to SXOS boot menu or let go and go to switches main screen. Check the album icon to see SXOS.
Highly recommend Firmware backup and Emunand setup. Search for tutorials on here. Do this before you go any further so you get the cleanest backup and Emunand start point.
Great thing about Emunand is basically creates a second Nand enviroment and keeps you away from the factory Nand.
