Maybe some of you know the hard way that updating with ChoiDujourNX will result in a BRICK. Fortunately its not permanent and extremely easy to fix ... as yesterday after firmware update 1.3.

You need to update the SX Core/ Lite manual with usb cable and windows PC.

I didn't see any tutorial so here we go.

Prepare :

1. remove the SX Core / Lite from the Switch motherboard (don't desolder, only remove the ribbon cable)
2. remove the nand flash
3.connect the usb extension



4. connect with personal computer / laptop with windows. Unfortunately for now its the only supported operation system.
5. Download the latest versions of SX UPDATER and SX CORE/LITE FIRMWARE from here : https://sx.xecuter.com
6. extract every archive


Here you need to figure it out to what serial port is the device connected. The easiest way is with SX Updater :

1. start the program without connecting the device. Check the available ports.
2. close the program
3. connect SX Core / Lite
4. Check again the available ports - you should have one new and this is the one you need.



Now to flash :

1. Be sure the device is connected and the right port selected.
2. in "Browse"choose the file for the update, something like sxcore_fw_v1.3
3. Hit UPDATE.

And here is the tricky part. Some people get an error :



Run the program as administrator. Try again and again, change the USB and in one point it will go.If you still get the error - try different pc and windows.

I had success on USB 3 and windows 7. I tried for 20 minutes before it happen. Some people have success with Windows 10 and USB 2.

And when you are done the switch will work flawlessly.
