The Switch OFW needs to install an update to add exFat support for your microSD, otherwise it won't be able to read/write to a card in this format. It is installed by just inserting a microSD in this format if you are on latest firmware or you can use ChoiDuJourNX via homebrew to manually...
It depends on what you want to do. There are already many options of "CFW" available which enable you to load homebrew and backups, I've been using RajNX but you can check ReiNX too. First install TegraSmashGUI and the drivers for the Switch in your PC, then enter RCM and connect it to the PC...
Really bad because you also updated it to 5.1. There's currently an unreleased exploit called Deja Vu that works on patched units but on FW 4.1 which is why it's advised to not update the patched consoles and wait for the exploit (no estimated date, though). So you could use your console the way...
Most likely with its serial number. Check out this thread to confirm but also try another payload and, if you can, another cable. If it still does not work you surely have one of the new patched units.
Is it a new console? Are you sure it's not a patched unit? Try injecting another payload like RajNX which also has the options to dump your nand under "Tools" in boot menu. If you get the RCM detected but it doesn't actually launch ANY payload, then sounds like a patched Switch.
They say there hasn't been any ban report from just using Homebrew, but if you want to avoid all chances of a ban you should delete Wifi settings, do a nand backup of your legit switch before doing anything CFW/Homebrew related, then use Checkpoint to back up your saves and then restore the nand...
I'm afraid you can't do anything until a new exploit is released, which it could be months from now. Nobody knows. Both SX OS or any other CFW with homebrew support will need a working exploit in your console. You could sell the patched Switch and try to get a pre owned one which is vulnerable...
This is exactly what I've been thinking. You should never be online (even on OFW with no CFW/homebrew) between a nand backup and its restoration because Nintendo may receive your logs with new info and restoring a previous nand with less/different logs will just confirm them you've hacked your...
I just hacked my Switch for the first time and using RajNX everything was a breeze. From the nand backup to setting up CFW autoboot and installing nsps. Thank you!
Noob question: Is there an advantage to installing an xci converted to nsp rather than an official nsp from CDNSP? Or is it just so you don't have to download again if you already have the xci?
Try an earlier version. The last version didn't work for me on my Galaxy S5 but version 2.3.2 works perfectly.
Maybe try scanning them on BOTW to see what items each one gives and cross reference with the data on the internet for each amiibo. Or try to get the exclusive items for each one to...
Yes, NTAG 215. If you want printable cards I can't help you but I bought this 100 pack on Aliexpress a while ago and paid one of the express shipment and it arrived in a week or so. I just printed the pictures in sticky paper and glued it to the cards.
Oh yes, I didn't know RajNX had nand backup option in boot menu (which I think is actually a fork of Hekate). But you're also right about games and DLC requiring latest firmware, so I think that going to OFW 5.1 with exFAT and then doing what I described in my previous post using RajNX to backup...
You want to do your nand backup BEFORE booting any CFW like RajNX. Besides, if you do it this way, when you want to go online and you restore your backup, you will be stuck again at 4.1 with no exFAT update and you won't be able to do anything online cause it's not latest firmware.
What I...
You could backup your "dirty nand" saves with Checkpoint BEFORE restoring "clean nand" and if you want to go back to dirty nand with old saves just restore them with Checkpoint after going offline again. I think this way would be much quicker than backing up/restoring "dirty nand" each time just...
I feel like school, back when I was actually in school, was more entertaining though, because of how much I get to interact with people, hang out with friends, and other stuff like that. All I get to talk to at work is my boring coworkers lol
