Thank you for reporting!

I was looking for someone who can test, since I don't have a Qoob SX myself and it's by far the weirdest modchip, I wonder what's going wrong here...

Alright, thanks for testing. I'm gonna have to come up with a way to dump the Qoob SX flash so I can have a better look at what's going on.

Are you willing to open your console? If so, here's how you can help:

  • remove the top shell
  • boot into Swiss
  • make sure file management is enabled
  • go to the "system" device
  • unplug the modchip and plug it back in
  • copy ipl.bin to your SD card
  • upload the file here

It's likely that another dump will be required once I've had a look at this first one.

sorry for the late reply and happy new year

No problem at all! Happy new year to you too.

It doesn't really matter which one you dump, I'm interested in the "recovery" section of flash.

Unplugging the modchip is necessary to reset it, because it has to disable itself after boot.

Unfortunately this is a regular NTSC 1.1 dump. Are you sure you followed the instructions correctly?

I don't know. I'm away from home until at least mid February, and at this point I'm out of ideas anyway. I think I'll need the real thing in order to progress.

I now have a Qoob SX in my possession thanks to @webhdx. I'm still away from home for the next month, but I'm able to test and dump it myself now.

Thanks for your patience.

It was a dumb problem. Fixed in r9.1!
