I'm totally lost guys...
All i want is just to update my hacked Switch in 5.2 to 6.2 and create a SDEmuNand so i can have a clean Sysnand to play online with my legitimate games.
I have a backup of my 5.2 clean Nand but i want to know the perfect process in order to not mess everything up ! If someone can help me doing this right it'll be very helpful. Note : I use SX OS
To me, i see this as :
1. Restore my 5.2 clean Nand on my hacked Switch
(Question here : What will happen after the restore ? Does the switch reboot in OFW as normal or what ?)
2. Update to 6.2 thourgh official process
(Should i or should i use ChoixdujourNX ?)
3. Do a full clean backup of my brand new 6.2 Switch NAND
4. Setup SDemunand
5. Use SDEmunand to put backups, .nsp/.xci and play offline and use SysNand to play online with legitimate games
Does it sound good to do it as follows ?
If you're referring to installing them, there's no other way to use .NSP files like that. If you don't want to install backups, your only other option is mounting .XCI files which can only be found in SX OS currently.I have question regarding installing NSP:
Is there any other way then to use tinfoil? Because it leaves so much empty space if you big files to install.
Kind regards
So i finally got around to playing around to playing around with Switch Homebrew.
I've only really backed up my NAND.
I've been reading stuff all night, but I'm getting some conflicting info.
So from what I can tell going on online at all is risky, and the only way to go online is to restore firmware backup every time? Even with no piracy? Is just booting into CFW messing around with homebrew and then booting back to OFW gonna get me banned?
Hmmm... that's disappointing, but not completely surprising, thanks!we don't know what exactly triggers banning, but yes that is a safe assumption. For now the best ways are to restore backup before going, yes.
another safety you can use is 90dns when running cfwHmmm... that's disappointing, but not completely surprising, thanks!
Iirc the OS uses them to encrypt several system partitions like NAND onesWhat are the BIS Keys used for?

Do I need those as a normal user?
Hello everyone, I’m new here and I would have some questions or rather i just want to get sure.
I got myself a 1 year old switch with firmware 6.0.1 on it. At the moment the switch is in flight mode and i´m thinking about going for a cfw (i don´t need to go online atm anyway). Therefore i just wanted to follow a guide which i found somewhere here (guide sdsetup) to install atmosphere by using Hekate. Any other recommendations here? Is it better when i start with this guide "Backup/Restore your Nand + Get your biskeys+tseckeys+keys.txt Guide" or is the process the same?
I haven´t inserted a sd card yet but i want to store the backup on a exfat formated sd card… i read something about a exfat driver, so do i need to do something before i can do the backup?
For the normal use i want to use an other sd card which is in fat32 format.
Shall i update afterwards to 6.2 with ChoiDujourNX to avoid burning my fuses or is there no need to stay on 6.0.1 and should i update before i do anything?
Can i use the sleep mode without a problem so i don´t have to inject the payload evertime? I read that (just in some versions) that there can be a problem?
Did i miss an important thing?
I already read a lot here but it´s so much info that i got a little bit confused and i just don´t want to do a mistake at the beginning (:
Thank you for your answers
are these keys you talking about?Absolutely, if you don't have them and you lost your backup or something, they are the only way to rebuild your nand if your brick

Hey everyone. I'm new to Switch Hacking and got it all to work so far and everything went just fine.
But now i fucked it up somehow. I wanted to update on 6.2.0 and did it through the official way via the update option while in atmosphere 0.8.2. It worked but somehow i can't start the games anymore. In settings It says 6.2.0 and ATS 0.8.2 and I can start the hbmenu and install .nsp and .xci but when i try to start the game it says that an update for this software is needed and i can either start the game or update it. But nothing works. I tried updating the game and i tried reinstalling it. Everytime i get an error saying "Unable to start software. Return to the HOME menu and try again."
Does someone have a fix for that?
I autostart in RCM, and directly start with the Web Fusée Launcher via fusee-primary.bin as I'am on Mac. Starting with hekate_ctaer_4.6.bin works as well. SD is on exFAT which hasn't been a problem so far. As I said I could start all the games when I was on 6.0.
Please help me.
