This was exactly my problem. I had 2.1 FW and tried using sx os 2.5 beta, but it did not work. I had to find the old version sx os 2.4.1.i just discovered 2.5 works only if emunand is updated to 6.2
I should have been more clear. I had 2.1 FW. I created emunand on 2.1 FW. When booting into SX OS 2.5, it would crash. I even tried loading into sysnand with SX OS 2.5 and it would crash. It gave the error code as this title thread. It was usually on the "Nintendo" load screen whenever it would crash. Strangely, sometimes I would get to the Lock Screen where you press a button 3 times to unlock, but it would always crash before unlocking. The crash would lead to a black screen where I had to hold the power button for 15 seconds. I thought I had bricked my NSW.Emunand is for sure recommended if you are trying to keep your sysnand on a lower firmware. You will start running into games that won't load without the newest firmware.
So first, SX does support all current OFWs. If you are running 6.2 OFW you need to use at least SX 2.4. Any OFW lower than that can use previous versions of SX, but it is always recommended to use the latest ver.I also wish to keep my OFW on 2,2 (I'm a waiter):
I intend to use Emunand and update it, but would still like to have the option of booting to CFW with SX OS versions later than 2.41.
(SX OS 2.5.2) - Boot loader menu, OK - select CFW, error 2254-0006
(SX OS 2.5) - Boot loader menu, OK - select CFW, error 2051-0006
(SX OS 2.4.1) - Boot loader menu, OK - select CFW, sucess
(SX OS 2.1) - Boot loader menu, OK - select CFW, sucess
Does TX intend to not support all versions of OFW going forward?
If TX has to implement fixes in the future due to countermeasures, where does that leave us 'waiters'
Can I even install Emunand with SX OS 2.4.1 and update emunand to 6.2 and have it launch later with 2.5.2 ?

Thanks,
Very weird. Wish I could test myself, but I do not have a switch running OFW 2.1.I should have been more clear. I had 2.1 FW. I created emunand on 2.1 FW. When booting into SX OS 2.5, it would crash. I even tried loading into sysnand with SX OS 2.5 and it would crash. It gave the error code as this title thread. It was usually on the "Nintendo" load screen whenever it would crash.

I stumbled upon this thread and tested the theory. I found and tried using 2.4.1 and was able to use it. I then used choidujourNX using SX OS 2.0.1 to upgrade sysnand to 6.2. I tried using SX OS 2.5 and was able to finally use it.
I did not have a clean sysnand and wanted a hidden partition on microsd so I could dual boot for online play on sysnand. So I restored sysnand, blew my fuses for 6.2, and created a new emunand.
I can confirm that loading into SX OS 2.5 on 2.1 FW is not possible for me.
Tokyo, Some people don't want to update their OFW (Sysnand), there are reasons. This is precisely the point we are trying to make. We want to be able to run current SX-OS on firmware as shipped.
imprezgc8, nothing really has changed - 2.5 and 2.5.2 on earlier firmware (1.0 2.1 2.2 ) crashes with an error code - 2.41 and earlier works.
I didn't start my own thread because I believe this is an SX-OS issue introduced after 2.41 - not user error. If you still think separate threads would help, I'd be glad to do what you ask. Thanks again
