Hacking Question is there a way to fully power off within SxOs cfw?

[leonmagnus99]

hey guys i notice that within AMS cfw the switch powers off fully (even though i have auto rcm enabled).
and my switch does NOT drain and it's very handy.

i just hold power and tap power off.

but when I'm in SXos cfw and i power off, it does NOT fully power off and stays in autorcm im guessing? and battery drains very quick.

can someone tell me if there's a way to get sxos cfw to power off completely?

i mainly use sxos because i sometimes play xci files.

power drainage is fixed in atmosphere, but not in sxos. Sleep mode is the only way to stop fast drainage with the sxos autorcm

If you have a dongle, you can push the sxos payload while the switch is in the zombie state to fully power down. Dunno if that'll help ya.

sorry not getting what you mean, but i usually use my phone or laptop to send payloads!

Well ams > sx sooooooooooooooooooo

i think I'll use ams when I'm not needing xcis.
and then i can power off my switch sometimes cx

hold Power for 15s to force a shut down

this sadly does not work when you are within sxos cfw!
but does work when in ams cfw.

anyways this is no biggie as i just read something cool, there is that discussion on open source emunand ,maybe coldboot is soon and we wont need any payloads anymore,so no more auto rcm either.

hmm... it should work on any cfw or ofw since it is a force shut down

i'll try it again, i tried it before and it stuck to autorcm im thinking, cause battery drained to 0 after some hours.

Just restart and while in RCM, inject hekate to power off properly.

You could use wain reboot to payload here:

Then press and hold Vol+ to get into the boot menu and choose power off.

Yes, there's a way on how to fully power off your switch, though it takes a few steps,albeit it's easy to do so.
Get Hekate 4.10.1 from here
Place the hekate payload in SD:/Bootloader/payloads.
Now if you've got Homebrew App Store installed on your SD card I'd suggest you to get this app "Payload Launcher"
With the help of that app you can launch payloads straight from your switch even while the switch is powered on.
Once said app is downloaded launch it and choose the hekate 4.10.1 payload from the list of available payloads.
Press A if it propmts you to confirm it.Now you'll be taken to the Hekate boot loader menu. From there on, choose Power Off and your switch should shut down gracefully.
Alternatively you may inject hekate via a PC,or do as @brushguy aforementioned.
