Can't Boot into SXOS using SXPro

[jimmyt1988]

Hi all,

Switch Firmware: v7.0.1
SXOS: v2.6.1 Beta
MicroSD: exFAT

I have received my SXPro today and am struggling getting booted into the menu.
I have put the jig in the right hand rail, located the usb-c unit in the bottom, holding volume + and press power and nothing is happening.

I did a check on my switch using tegrarcm which said it should be fine to work?
Is there a reason I am having this issue?

Thanks,
Jamie

Back up your files from your SD.
Format as fat32
Copy your license.dat and boot.dat back to the SD card and try booting again.

I will give that a go thanks.

Just a general question, why is the RCM tool I bought off ebay to test with tegra different pins triggered to the tx jig I have received? Do they do different things?

One has the two outers pins and one had an outer pin and one a few in from it.

Reformatted the MicroSD to FAT32 with no luck.
Is it worth trying the other jig? I don't want to risk breaking anything.

The jig i used to tegrarcm was the one off ebay which worked at the time.
I am currently using the one that came with my sxpro as it looks like it triggers different pins to the initial one.

Thanks,

The pins can be different as long as pin 10 is grounded(shorted). (either pin 1 or pin 7 can be used)

Have you successfully booted into RCM mode? (black screen, nothing happens)

If so, if you plug in the dongle and nothing happens, try plug the dongle into your PC for a few seconds then plug it back into the switch to ensure it's sufficiently charged to inject the payload.

You can also use TegraRCM to inject the payload file from your PC to test if there's an issue with your dongle (unlikely).

If that all fails then try a different MicroSD card, ensure that you don't have a clone, as the data corrupts on those fake MicroSD cards and will cause problems.

Hi Chris,

All sorted, thanks for your help!
