# Sending a Payload
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
?> **If you were sent here directly**
|
||
|
|
Make sure you've [put your device into RCM](entering_rcm.md), and downloaded Hekate (extract its zip file if necessary) before continuing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now that the device is in RCM, we will need to send it a payload. The methods are mostly the same, but slightly differs depending on what hardware you have available.

||
|
|
> 2. Launch Rekado on your phone
|
||
|
|
> 3. Navigate to `Payloads`, then press the `+` button at the bottom right
|
||
|
|

||
|
|

|
!> **If nothing happens after you send the payload**
|
||
|
|
If your console's screen remains black after you've sent Hekate, it's possible your payload was corrupted, or that your console is patched. If your payload injector program shows that 0 bytes were sent, then it is definitely patched, so you'll be unable to proceed with the rest of the guide.
