This post explains the issue.
I sent it in to Nintendo for repair and they replaced the sd card reader. Now sx-os/hekate work fine.
From what i can tell from this experience is that there’s no way for them to patch it once the switch leaves the factory line. The patch is applied during production not after.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
just got my sx-pro and following the steps and i get this error every time with 4 differnt sd cards from sandisk 2 of 64gb, 128gb, 200gb. have tried fat32 and exfat and same result.
also added a 16gb sd to the test and same result.
Now I’ve sent the console to Nintendo for repair and they’ve serviced it and it’s on it’s way back. I’ll let you know the results.

did you format the sd card with the switch first, and download/drop the `boot.dat` from the https://sx.xecuter.com/ website?
wont let me because i don’t have exfat support i’m on 4.1. I formated them with guiformat32 on my pc.
——————— MERGED —————————
i give up. updated my 4.1 to get exfat to see if that fixes it.

Just to be sure the sd card slot is working.
Does the SD card detect in the Switch when you pop it in while its on?

If you haven’t already, try redownloading the dat file. Maybe the download or transfer got corrupted.
i’ve downloaded several times, i’ve used version 1.0, 1.2 and 1.3.. same thing.
——————— MERGED —————————
i’m gonna try using 7zip to extract even though i have latest winrar. this is so frustrating.

7zip made no difference…..

Many people I know adopted the SX Pro pretty early on when we didn’t have a lot of choices for a CFW on our Nintendo Switch. But since then the open-source CFWs have grown up and now surpass SX OS in every corner (except for those few still waiting to be able to play .XCI Backups on Atmosphere). But the SX Pro Dongle (and in that aspect also the SX Gear Dongle) only allow loading the SX boot.dat, which does allow chainloading other payloads, but having to go through all those menus everytime is quite a hassle. So if we don’t want to use SX OS any longer it’s useless, right? Well, this is where a nifty little Python Script comes into play by Developer CTCaer. I actually haven’t seen any real coverage for that and to be fair no tutorials at all even though this helps give life to an SX Dongle which would otherwise end up in a shelf and collecting dust.
The Script is actually quite old by now (has been released 7 months ago) but I’ve had people ask me how to autoboot into any other CFW with my SX Dongle quite a few times so I’m gonna give everyone a simple Guide on how to create your own custom boot.dat to be used with the SX Dongle. Keep in mind though that everytime the payload you chose to use with your custom boot.dat gets updated (For example Hekate version 4.7 gets released) you will have to redo this process, but I wouldn’t call that a deal breaker since it’s a matter of seconds to create a new boot.dat.
First of all, you need the following things:
Python 3 (Version doesn’t matter but I would suggest always using the latest one which as of right now is 3.7.2)
The tx custom boot script (I changed it a bit for ease of use/it now searches for a file called boot.bin instead of an outdated hekate version)
Any payload you want to be automatically booted (Can be either Atmosphere/Hekate/ReiNX or any other payload of your choosing)
So let’s do this:
First of all, you will have to install Python 3. Make sure to tick the Box that says “Add Python 3.7 to PATH”
It will also ask you at the end of the installation to disable the path length limit. I advise doing this since it can help in avoiding headaches along the run.
Next up grab the payload you downloaded and place it next to the tx_custom_boot.py. You will have to rename your payload to boot.bin for the python script to work. For Atmosphere, you will have to use the Atmosphere primary Payload NOT the secondary.
Now simply drag-and-drop the boot.bin file on top of the tx_custom_boot.py script and it will create a boot.dat for you which contains the payload you selected.
It’s that easy which is why I was quite confused that I found pretty much no information about this at all. I do hope this helps all you users that still have their SX Dongle to use whichever CFW you want with it 🙂
All credits for this goes to CTCaer who wrote the original script which allowed using our own payloads and converting them to a boot.dat.

No encuentra el archivo del CFW, puede ser que no te esté leyendo la microSD. Prueba ponerla en FAT32.

Encontré en un foro de Hekate que esto puede ser un problema de hardware, la imagen claramente dice: «conector suelto o roto» para los que realizan la conexión con la microSD, la velocidad del bus en el modo de 1 bit es muy lenta y el defecto del hardware debe repararse.
Hay algunos usuarios que indican que el problema puede ser el particionado de la microSD, puedes intentar si te funciona:
Paso 1: Iniciar la tarjeta SD (eliminar partición y borrar MBR)
Paso 2: Crear un nuevo MBR (no GPT)
Paso 3: Crear una nueva partición primaria.
The problem was that the MBR was missing some vital info that it was described as a MUST in the spec.
(windows) cmd -> diskpart -> select disk -> clean
Con easeUS Partition (free) -> FAT32/exFAT -> nueva partición primaria (MBR)
Si no te funciona este procedimiento, al parecer si es un problema de hardware, la microSD te funciona con el OFW?

Si te funciona perfectamente en horizon, no creo que puedas llamar a soporte de Nintendo. Seguro te funciona bien en Horizon? Porque en el OFW lo máximo que haces es guardar fotos y partidas en la microSD.

Bueno, pues mucha suerte con eso amigo, ojalá si sea un problema de hardware solicionable y puedas disfrutar tu consola al 100%.
