How Can we use the Team Xecuter SX Products to hack Nintendo Switch?

For unpatched switch users, how can we use the Team Xecuter SX Products to hack Nintendo Switch? Today I will show the SX products tutorial on the below, I hope this post helps a lot of our newcomers to the scene that have questions before and after they purchase Team Xecuter's SX OS.

Warning:

No matter what, modding of any sort could lead you to a ban by Nintendo. Preventative measures can be taken, but in the end, you need to understand that you probably will get banned at some point. No Ifs, And, Or Buts about it. Some users buy a second switch just for modding, and some restore a fresh NAND backup that they created and use different microSD cards to prevent getting a ban. If you choose to continue, please know you may get your switched banned.

1. Steps to Modding your Switch with SX Pro & SX Gear
2. Navigating Around SX OS

Steps to Modding your Switch with SX Pro & SX Gear​

1. Is my Switch Hackable? (Guide: How to know if a Switch is currently 'unhackable' (August 2018))

• If YES, please proceed to step 2.
• If NO, please keep checking back for future updates which will appear on the main TX website (Team-Xecuter Site)

2. Purchase one of the three products from an authorized retailer

• SX Pro: Comes with the Dongle to inject the payload, RCM jig to get the switch in RCM mode, and a license for SX OS already loaded into the Dongle.
• SX Gear: Comes with the Dongle to inject the payload, and the RCM jig to get the switch in RCM mode.
• SX OS License: Just a license for SX OS.

Whats the best option for you?​

• The SX Pro is the more expensive option of the three. However, its the more convenient option of the three. The injector is ready to go for the SX OS payload, a jig is provided for you so you don't need to make your own, and it comes pre-loaded with your very own SX OS license.
• The SX Gear is less expensive than the Pro because it does not come with an SX OS License. However, this option is great for those who want to use the gear and jig not only for SX OS but other custom firmware (CFW) as well. "Personally, SX OS is all the CFW you need"
• SX OS License is just a license to activate SX OS. Those who want to use SX OS with the SX Gear or those who want the awesome features of SX OS using other methods to inject the payload and put the Switch into RCM mode cab benefit from this option.

3. I received my SX product, now what?​

• SX Pro users - follow the manual located on the main site for easy setup instructions: (SX Xecuter Site)
• SX Gear users - follow the following post detailing what you will need to do: ([Guide] How to use the SX Gear)
• SX OS License Users - follow the instructions located on the main site for easy setup instructions: (SX Xecuter Site)

4. Backup your NAND:​

It's very important to back up your NAND as your first step. Backing up your NAND will allow for you to restore your clean NAND to the state before you started modding. Also this will allow for you to downgrade your firmware versions as long as you have a backup for that version. More importantly, if your Switch somehow gets bricked, you will be thankful you have a backup to restore from. (Creating a NAND Backup)​
5. Boot into Custom firmware and have fun!​

Navigating Around SX OS​

Once booted into the CFW and launching the Albums App, you will be presented with the following menu unique to SX OS.

1. GAMES
2. LICENSE
3. INSTALLER
4. HOMEBREW
5. OPTIONS
6. CHEAT

Let's jump right in!

GAMES: When you place an XCI switch game on your microSD card, it will show up here. This area is for you to mount the XCI game to your home screen as if you inserted the game cartridge yourself.



LICENSE: Once you validate your SX OS license that you purchased, it will show here that your license is valid.



INSTALLER: This section allows you to install any NSP versions of your games on your microSD card. Any update NSP files for your games that you placed on your microSD card will appear here as well and will allow you to install your updates through this menu.



HOMEBREW: If you have any homebrew applications on your microSD, they will appear here. This menu is a one-stop-shop for you to access your homebrew apps such as SX Dumper and SX Installer.



OPTIONS: This section has a lot of great features built right into SX OS. Here is a breakdown of the features in this section:

1. FTP Server: When enabled, this will give you the IP Address of your switch with a port number to connect directly to your switch's microSD card from any FTP software. The great thing about this is you can transfer files to your switch without needing to power off, remove the microSD card, or load files from your computer via a MicroSD adapter.
2. Pro Tip: Only enable when you plan on using this feature and disable afterwords. There is no username or password needed to connect to your device's microSD card.
3. Stealth Mode: This is an awesome feature. What this does is it will block all connections to Nintendo's servers when enabled. Now don't assume this is a 100% fail-safe in not getting banned, this is intended to be an added layer of protection for you.
4. Internet Local Wireless Play: With this option enabled and with an additional software called LAN-PLAY, you will be able to utilize local wireless play.
5. Update SX OS: This allows you to update your SX OS version right from your switch! No need to download the update file from TX's website, and transfer to your microSD card. All you have to do is select Update SX OS and it will check for any release updates. If there is one available it will ask if you would like to install. Once installed it will let you know that the update will take effect once you reboot your switch and back into the CFW.

CHEAT: This area allows you to apply and handle all of your cheating needs when you want to have some more fun with your games.



Summary: This is a growing post, overtime changes will be made and new info will be added. Just follow Flashcarda.com. We can send the sx os out instantly. We just hope this helps our newcomers get started on their SX OS journey.

SX PRO Reviews

Using the SX PRO for about a year, I experienced no delays or crashes when running Switch backup games. Switch homebrew compatibility has been improved since version 1.0 of SX OS. So much so that all homebrew applications I had previously had problems with work perfectly well now.

Starting in RCM mode and starting SX OS are very simple and take place within 30 seconds. This process is very ready to use when you use the SX Pro dongle and template tool.

Overall, SX PRO is an excellent product that works perfectly on Switch 9.0.1. With frequent updates and support and the fact that the SX OS license will receive a lifetime of updates, it is a great value. The SX Pro is a very portable and convenient device that simplifies the injection of payloads.

Where to buy the SX PRO in EU? Flashcarda.com is your best choice in EU, we have warehouse in France, delivery is free and fast. And it supports payment by Paypal and credit card.

[TUTO] Xecuter SX Pro: How to use it to play .XCI and .NSP files

Here we will show a hack solution that found on the internet about the Switch, this manipulation will allow you to load Roms, Homebrews, backup on your Nintendo Switch by doing a manipulation without any welding, so by maintaining the guarantee of your Nintendo Switch, for that just buy a small SX PRO kit for Nintendo Switch!

However, We must warn you about three things:

1. You should only use this solution if you have the original games, so we will talk about backups of your games: "backups", we can not be responsible for non-compliant uses of this information.
2. Then this tutorial will only work if you have the first switch, ie; only the switches that were manufactured before July 2018, because they have a flaw in their graphics card, which would be "hardware" and therefore not patchable by Nintendo ... that's why in July 2018 Nintendo has changed the graphics cards of their new Switch.
3. As for any unplanned manipulation, there is a risk of ban Nintendo when not use their products as they wish, and of course there is also a risk of Brick console if you do not follow the tutorial step by step.

The requirements

1- Have or find a first generation Nintendo Switch

You will need to look at the serial number located under your SWITCH console or in case you leave on a search mission in video game stores before buying it; below the Switch box, you will find the serial number.
Switch models compatible with SX PRO

Compatibility validated with serial numbers lower than:

• XAJ70043 XX
• XAJ40052 XX
• XAJ1003 XX
• XAJ700445 XX
• XAW100818 XX
• XAW100857 XX
• XAW7001 XX
• XAW70017 XX
• XAW1007 XX

All higher equal serial numbers are fortunate to be patched and therefore not compatible with the SX PRO ... But be careful, do not hesitate to contact a dealer in case you have a doubt because your serial number is equal to this list, or even slightly higher, you could have a nice surprise, because this list can evolve over time.

Exemples :

Well !

Not good !

2, Buy Xecuter SX Pro or SX OS License

You can check the official site from Team Xecuter, For the Canada reseller, you can choose Flashcarda.com, the cheapest site, and they also have warehouse in USA and France, people can enjoy the local shipment.



The official package therefore includes:

• A USB-C dongle that contains the CFW of the Team Xecuter
• Micro USB to USB cable for future dongle updates
• A JIG bar to slide into the right joycon slot of your Switch
• The SX OS license of the operating system pre-integrated in the firmware-compatible dongle up to 8.1.0 and future updates after update of the Xecuter team.

This complete kit allows you to launch backups .XCI or .NSP on a micro SD card, a USB key or even an external hard drive.

3- The best free sites to download games Switch Roms Homebrews

You will need to get the backups of your video games Switch on the canvas in XCI or NSP format, however I recommend the XCI format which is much easier to use in addition to being safer for your Switch SX PRO, you will go directly in the photo album where your backup Roms will be directly present.

With the NSP files you will have to install tinfoil on your switch which will allow you to install the NSP on your switch.

Here you can buy pre-installed sd cards to play Nintendo Switch Games:

• 128 GB SD Card-16 Games
• 200GB SD Card-25 Games
• 256GB SD Card-35 Games
• 512GB SD Card-50 Games

Note: for those who are in 9.0.0, it is possible to downgrade the Switch ...

• Note: For brand new Switch consoles out of their box, or for those that have just been updated, it is possible that your Switch asks you to update to be able to read your micro SD card in ExFAT format, so do these updates.
• Put your console switch in airplane mode (without internet connection)

8, Update of backups

The games update is functional. But beware, no one can guarantee that Nintendo does not see what we do, the console can be ban Nintendo servers, again this information is only for online players.

1. Completely turn off your Switch console
2. Remove the micro SD card and the SX PRO dongle
3. Switching on the Switch does not start in OFW Official Firmware
4. The main menu of the Switch show your backups
5. Disable airplane mode
6. Go to the game poster, and with the left Joycon, do - (minus) to go to the options
7. And update the game (s)
8. Return to airplane mode
9. turn off the switch completely
10. restart the CFW from SX PRO
11. Enjoy !

9- Remarks and tips:

• As long as you stay in simple standby, no need to restart the hack sx pro (connection of the dongle, the jig and start vol + and Power button)
• If you fall out of battery or turn off the Switch completely, you will have to restart the hack (so, on the go, never separate from your SX pro kit)
• Do not remove the microSD from the Switch when the console is on or in standby, always turn it off completely before doing so to avoid damaging the data inside.
• Do not run the Auto-RCM mode option at the brick risk of the console.
• If for some reason your Switch is blocking, pressing the Power button for 15 seconds will force the console to stop
• If you have an error: Error 2168-0002 this is probably because you have mid NSP files at the root of your micro SD or hard drive
• It is recommended to dump the console to avoid any risk of brick.

Regarding the online parts some tips:

• For people who play alone or at home with their friends, a ban will not block your console, but just the online game and the Eshop on Nintendo's servers.
• If you are afraid of being ban because you play online, do not connect to the internet with the Switch when you use your backups, always stay in airplane mode, but let Bluetooth and NFC activate.
• Use backups in XCI rather than NSP is safer
• There is no guarantee that Nintendo will not be able to get or see all your CFW and OFW uses on the SWITCH because there is a trace of the data stored in memory.

Conclusion on this way of hacking your Switch with the SX PRO

By its implementation very easy but also by its stability, because the games work like the originals, there is no display or slowdown bug. In addition this product is evolutionary in time, as the Xecuter team will update their SX Pro, the dongle will still be usable. Also, the product is distributed internationally in online stores as physical, the reputation of the creators is really very credible, so, hat down!

Ultimate tutorial of hacking Nintendo Switch with Xecuter SX Pro/SX OS

The Nintendo Gaming Blog and the authors of the guides are not responsible for any damage caused to the Switch if you follow this guide

SX OS is available for purchase on the "where to buy" page on the team-xecuter.com website. There are three variants of the product: SX OS (only the license file), SX Pro (license + jig + dongle) and SX Gear (only jigs and dongles WITHOUT license file).

Terminology

 

• Jig: device that fits into the right Joy-Con rail to start the RCM Mode
• Dongle: device that plugs into the USB-C port of the Switch to inject Payloads
• Payload: code that allows to start the custom firmware (CFW)
• RCM Mode: start mode of the Nintendo Switch to prevent it from loading the official operating system
• CFW: custom firmware, unofficial operating system
• OFW: official firmware, official operating system
• sysNAND: the primary internal memory. The OFW is installed in it but you can also start the CFW
• emuNAND: secondary memory separate from sysNAND. Only the CFW is started in it
• OFW / CFW and sysNAND / emuNAND are different things: the latter are memories, "hard disks", while the FWs are operating systems: it is possible to start the CFW both in the sysNAND and in the emuNAND while in the emuNAND it is possible to start only the CFW
• bootloader: hekate and Briccmii are not complete CFW but programs that start before the operating system and allow the use of various additional features
• Rom: non-original copies of the games, they exist in two formats:
  
  • .XCI file: non-installable files extracted from game cartridges. Only SX OS starts them
  • .NSP files: files that can be installed in the internal memory or microSD of the Switch; are games available on cartridge, in the eShop and their updates
• .NCA file: system updates. They install with ChoiDujourNX
• .NRO file: homebrew applications
• root (of the microSD card): it is the main space of the memory unit (for example F: /), not a sub-folder

 

Clean sysNAND backup

 

Yes, I know you are looking forward to setting up SX OS and playing but before doing anything read the main article and make a clean backup of the sysNAND following what is reported in section 5. Backup NAND after starting Hekate as explained in section 4. Inject a Payload and start the custom firmware. This step is important because, once you start any unauthorized program, the Switch will be "dirty" and, if you connect it online, it will be banned. Thanks to the backup you can restore the Switch to a state prior to any change.

Ultimate tutorial of Xecuter SX Pro and Xecuter SX OS

Update SX OS

 

1. Download the latest version of the boot.dat file from the Xecuter Team site
2. Connect the microSD to the PC
3. Replace the boot.dat file in the microSD with the new boot.dat file
4. Insert the microSD into the Switch and play

 

Auto RCM

 

Attention: this procedure is risky! Thanks to this function, the Switch will automatically enter recovery mode (RCM) without using the jig. The Switch WILL NOT START NORMALLY IF YOU HAVE TO TURN OFF COMPLETELY and you will need the dongle or a PC to turn it back on. Holding the Switch in the Rest Mode will not require the dongle but the battery will run down and if it is completely discharged the charging will be slower than when Auto RCM is not installed.

1. In the main screen of SX OS press the third button [Options]
2. Touch [Install AutoRCM]
3. To remove it, touch [Uninstall AutoRCM] instead.

 

Cheat

 

To be able to use cheats with SX OS, download the database and copy the individual game folders in alphanumeric format to the folder: SD / sxos / titles


To find out which games match the folders in the database, check the Title ID on the nswdb.com, switchbrew.org sites and on the GitHub page of "LordApple" that created the database.

Playing online with SX OS

 

on playing online, not updating the copies of the games nor the firmware by connecting the Switch to the internet otherwise it will be banned! To play online, you must have a clean sysNAND.

Solving errors

 

Problems related to the launch of SX OS

 

Q: Boot.Dat ?: I downloaded the file boot.dat but the CFW does not start

1. Make sure the boot.dat file is present in the root of the microSD
2. Format the microSD again, re-insert it into the Switch and then reload all the files

Q: I have SX Pro and I haven't received my code yet, can I start game roms?

• The code is included in the dongle. Insert the boot.dat file in the microSD, connect the dongle and enter the RCM mode - the CFW should start, then you can choose whether to activate the license via wi-fi or via computer through the Xecuter site (https: //sx.xecuter .com / sxos-license.html)

Q: Can I use multiple microSD cards? Mine is so small that I would like to use more than one with the same license.

Yes you can. The license is linked to the console: copy the boot.dat file to the new microSD card. Remember that you must re-enter the CFW every time you change microSD card

 

Problems with use

 

The console freezes / black screen

It can happen using homebrew, if the software crashes or if the console goes into sleep mode. Press and hold the Power button for 10-15 seconds until the console turns off completely, then turn it back on

Homebrew lenses

Wait for an update that optimizes SX OS better

 

Problems with game roms

 

Q: I put the games in the microSD but I don't see them

• Check that you have inserted all the XCI game files into a folder in the root of the microSD. Try renaming the .XCI file by removing special characters (accented letters, symbols like $, etc.).
•  Use another rom: if the first one has been resized it could be ruined

Very slow loading screen

• Try another microSD card
• Some newer games are included in Type 2 cartridges which are not yet supported by SX OS
