Hi All;
I borked my Switches' eMMC and don't have a back-up, so now I can only use the installed CFW.
The emuMMC is an SD File (not a partition). It's too large to back-up, as it now contains a bunch of games.
So I don't totally mess it up: How can I manually back-up and restore the important bits of the SD File emuMMC???
Optional Read: How I Screwed Up:
I'm my family's I.T. Support (because COBOL). So, my cousin asked me to jailbreak his Switch. It went well, and I had so much fun with it, that I bought myself a Switch off e-Bay.
My Switch was doing OK for a while. Until... every time I woke it up, it would process thousands of phantom button or touch-screen presses. The phantom input died down after a few minutes, then the Switch acted fine.
I didn't know if this was a hardware issue, or if I had installed some malware. I decided to use Haku33 to reset the Switch. If it was hardware, I'd return the Switch to the e-bay seller. If it was software, I'd just start over.
I turned off AutoRCM and ran Haku33: It totally screwed-up my eMMC. The Switch locks after a brief display of the Nintendo Logo. However, I was still able to use RCM to boot into the emuMMC. The good news is that it fixed the phantom input issue!
I had followed a You-Tube How-To Video to jailbreak the Switch. It did not contain a step to back-up the eMMC or emuMMC, so I don't have any back-ups. It did recommend using SD File emuMMC, so I can't use Hekate's emuMMC Back-Up process, as it's only for Partition emuMMCs.
Any advice is appreciated!
