How to revert SX Core / SX Lite to its original firmware


This guide only works for SX Core and SX Lite chips. It does not work for HWFLY mod chips.

What you'll need:

Setup:

  1. Plug your micro USB cable into your modchip and then connect it to your pc.
  2. Delete the files bootloader.bin and firmware.bin in your spacecraft folder.
  3. Rename the file backup_xxxx_xx_xx_xx_xx.bin to bootloader.bin.
  4. Place sxcore_fw_xx.bin in your spacecraft folder and rename it to firmware.bin.
  5. Open the terminal inside the folder by holding Shift, right click inside inside the folder, and selecting either:
    • Open CMD window here
      or
    • Open PowerShell window here
  6. Once the terminal launches, paste the following command inside, press Enter, and wait for it to complete:
    • .\BootloaderUpdater.exe .\bootloader.bin

DO NOT UNPLUG THE USB CABLE WHILE IT IS FLASHING OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR MODCHIP!

  1. Once its done, unplug the modchip and plug it back in and close the terminal window.
  2. Start up SX Updater and make sure to pick the correct port.
  3. Select the firmware.bin file you had renamed and click on "Update".
  4. Wait for it to be done and then unplug the modchip.
  5. Now you should be back to the modchips original firmware!
