Hi Community,

I have the latest SXOS beta installed and everything was fine. But after installing the OFW 10.0.1 (with ChoiDuJour), I still have access to SXOS menu but can't start CFW, even OFW doesn't work anymore. When I lauch them, I have just a black screen. I've search the forum and could not find a threat with similar issue. I've only find people that can't load the CFW but have access to OFW. I've tried to hold volume +-power to have access to Nintendo recovery but nothing happened.
Can you please assist?

Sounds like you corrupted the boot0/1/2 in the firmware try using your backup nand to fix otherwise you may need to rebuild from scratch to unbrick it. i have done this once myself and it is a time consuming process took me 9 hours to research guides and do it. this usually happens if using fake sd cards so you might want to check it with the tool can't remember what they call it.

Thank you but I am a newbie and didn't know about that NAND thing. As I have access to SX OS menu, can I download the NAND et restore or it is already corrupted?
Do you have some links that explain how to rebuild from scratch and to unbrick ?

The nand has console specific information in it. So you cannot just use someone elses. There are guides out there I believe that go through trying to rebuild, but they are not as simple as clicking a few buttons and take a lot of time. I am not even sure if they will be able to. I don't have any links, but I believe there is one on gbatemp.

Not 100% sure, but I believe I had a same issue once. I fixed it by saving my sd card files on my pc, then reformatted the sd card to fat32, replaced my files to the sd and it booted normally and custom. i made the mistake by choosing the exfat option when updating with choidujour, while my firmware was fat that time. Give it a try, you can always revert everything back and start from where you are now with troubleshooting if it doesn’t work.

Can you clarify this for me ? If I made a NAND backup on my ExFat SD Card and keep it to the PC. Then when i got problem upgrading to the new firmware then I can copy my NAND backup to SD card and restore it ? (the backup files at the time backed up must be in the same format ExFat with the SD card format type ? )

Thank you you are my hero. I did what you said and reinstalled the same firmware with Choidujour and choose exfat. Everything is fine now.
