Hey guys,

I am totally new here and don't know what I am doing wrong.
My Switch-Serial Number is: XAJ70002... so this should be fine.
My Firmware is: 6.2.0
And I am am using a custom made jig.

I have downloaded the latest Beta version of the SX OS (2.5) and I am able to get to the screen where I select that the switch should boot the customFW...
but then it just stays black and after a minute it just boots the original OS...

What am I doing wrong? Can someone help me?

After I injected the payload I press "Boot custom FW" on my switch, but than it just boots normally...I never see Album or even the proper CFW screen.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

You are absolutely right...it says "license not found". And just to be sure should I buy a huge SD card, in order to store the games? or can I change later at some point?

ok, thank you. How can I activate my License?
You can boot into CFW and go to the SX menu. You can activate there if you are connected to the internet. If you do not want to connect to the internet, you can do it through the SX site. (https://sx.xecuter.com/sxos-license.html) On your SD card there should be a license-request file. You just need to upload that to the site and it will then give you a license file to put back on your SD card.

ok, thank you.
One last question, do I need to buy a license in order to get the license code which the webiste is asking me to enter?

get the licence-request.dat from your microsd and go to https://sx.xecuter.com
top right has activate, upload the file and it will send you licence.dat , put that into root of your microsd bam done.

Since I've taken the time to spoon feed you, do me a favour and do a Nand backup, not for me but for yourself.
There's a guide in one of the stickies, just press a few buttons wait 1.5hours and bam you don't have to worry about bricking your console again.

I am doing a Backup now. But where do I get a license code from, which the website is asking me to enter after I uploaded the "license-request" file...

Sorry, I did not see what version you are using. If you are not using the Pro version of SX you will need to buy a license. I bought my SX Pro from modchipsdirect. They also sell just the license.
