Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[binkinator]

It booted to the Hekate v5.9.0 menu which it never got there before when i injected payload it would just boot cfw and get me to the homescreen for the switch

But anyway..
I picked launch
chose CFW - emuMMC

then this happened

Panic Occured while running Atmosphere.
Title: ID: 0100000000000BD00
Error: std::abort (oxFFE)
Report saved to /atmopshere/fatal_errors/report_019a6549f.bin
Press power to continue

You just over wrote your original /atmosphere….you didn’t move it to /atmosphere.bk

I can tell because Mission Control is barfing on the new FW.

It’s OK

Do this quick test…

Move(or rename) /atmosphere/contents to /atmosphere/contents.bk temporarily and reboot.

I saved the originals folders on my PC Atmosphere and Bootloader that I copied from the SD card before downloading all the new stuff you instructed

Im uncertain of what you mean by BK?

I just deleted the contaminated atmosphere & bootloader folder on the SD should I just drag the new atmosphere and bootloader folders that you asked me to download earlier? onto the sd?

.bk is just a random set of letters I add to a directory so it is out of the way.
Gives the new /atmosphere files contained in the zip a clean place to lay down.
You could have renamed it to /atmosphere.MyCoolFilesThatIDontWantToOverWrite but it takes a lot longer to type than /atmosphere.bk.

We’re beyond that now…let’s keep moving forward. Almost there. Just move/rename /atmosphere/contents to /atmosphere/contents.bk and reboot.

E: if you already deleted them, that’s fine…just copy over the files from the zips. You will need to create a new /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini file as the new ones from the zip won’t have one.

Also recreate your /atmosphere/hosts/ files as the new zip won’t have that either…

awesome its fixed and working again thanks!

1. Can i try and update the scarlet version again by matching local data? or will i get back into the same problem i had earlier?
2. what do I do with my old files/folder (atmosphere & bootloader)
3. how can i boot up my switch automatically to the homescreen skipping the hekate menu like before?

Sure, you are at latest and greatest…nothing can touch you now.

2. what do I do with my old files/folder (atmosphere & bootloader)

Your /atmosphere/contents directory has some sys-modules and stuff that you might want. You will probably have to upgrade them in order to make them work with your new firmware. They are small…keep them around for a while and if you notice something weird, you can reference them to find out what you need to upgrade to get it to work.

E: here’s the Mission Control update that would fix the error (0100000000000BD00) we got earlier:

3. how can i boot up my switch automatically to the homescreen skipping the hekate menu like before?

Your hekate_ipl.ini has some settings in it. You can read about the autoboot setting here:

https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate#hekate-global-configuration-keysvalues-when-entry-is-config

Here’s what I would probably do, but you should read about the options just the same.

Spoiler: hekate_ipl.ini autoboot to CFW

Muppet here. Recently bought this unpatched switch from a pawn shop store on ebay, at least I'm pretty sure it is. Can someone put my mind at ease? It was a good deal so I didn't study the picture as long as I should have before buying (and I was stoned). Pretty sure the first 6 numbers of the serial after the XAW1 are 005621.

 

[warriosbest]

hmm now i realized my sysnand (ofw) have about 20.8GB free on MicroSD Card while 19.6 Fortnite +4.1GB Game installed, total 44.5GB

System Memory still 25.8GB

I thought we must use seperate MicroSD card if want to install content on switch(ofw)

When I checked with a Online Web:

Your console is not patched. Hooray!

That's all the information we could know through the serial number.

No necessary to do that. I am using emuNAND and sysNAND on the same card (256gb) and everthing seems good.

so microsd share partition between cfw and ofw or it create each partition for cfw/ofw right ?
ofw can't see other than it partition, cfw can see all, when enabled MTP too

 

[marhalloweenvt]

They share the same ex-data partition (which is indicated microSD Card under Data Management) but they never use data in that partition of each other.

When you create EmuNAND with partition option, you will create a new partition in microSD and this partition isn't accessible in any machine (window, mac,...) without specific software (after created EmuNAND partition, whenever you plug microSD into a window machine, there is always a pop up to ask you format a "disk" that window can't read). This partition is System Memory under Data Management in CFW.
Sum up, there would be 3 region partition and there place:

1. System Memory of OFW - eMMC in Switch machine
2. System Memory of CFW (partition EmuNAND) - a New Partition when you create with hekate/...
3. microSD Card of "OFW & CFW" - remaining capacity of your microSD after Create partition for your CFW - this partition is "share" capacity between OFW and CFW but their data won't be used by another.

Maybe there are some mistake in my theory, but this is what I know after a long time in this scene.

ofw can't see other than it partition, cfw can see all, when enabled MTP too

Apparently, when you plug microSD in PC, you can access one partition (which I call microSD Card - "shared ex-data partition" under Data Management). In there, it contains both OFW (Nintendo folder) and CFW (the rest) contents. As I said above, they can see all, but their data will be not used by another.

Hope that will help you to clear the mist in your mind.

What error do you get?

"An error occured"

problem was I couln't resize a Full Nand only a Raw Nand.

Is it possible to downgrade an ipatched switch from 12.0 firmware

 

[marhalloweenvt]

Is it possible to downgrade an ipatched switch from 12.0 firmware

"When you update your system firmware version and boot the stock operating system, your Nintendo Switch burns a microscopic fuse to prevent your Switch from being able to downgrade. Essentially, if a stock firmware tries to boot but too many fuses are burnt for that specific firmware version, the system will simply power off, preventing you from booting."
=> So, the answer is a big NO

and is there a way i can mod a v2/redbox switch on 12.0 firmware ,, so this ''switch.homebrew.guide/usingcfw/manualchoiupgrade" will essentially brick the system ?

Have a look at HWFLY modchip, this can help u in modding your machine.

found them , which one is suitable i wonder like v3 or v4 ?

 

[marhalloweenvt]

In ur case, you can get a v3. V4 is for OLED model

 

[binkinator]

I thought V4 was just the generation of the modchip. I bought one of these for my V2 Mariko and it works great.



I wish they would have used different nomenclature….like version A, version B, version B.2, etc

Less confusing!

 

[HelloShitty]

Download the archive.org link I posted there. It is Tinfoil version 15.0 R1 but once you install it and run it the self installed version will auto update. Cool stuff.

Ok, I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.
I have just installed the system from scratch again and going to unzip Tinfoil again into SD card root. I just checked that I have no Tinfoil after fresh install. I'll see what do I get after I unzip the zip file to the card root but not installing anything from `Album`. Because I'm not sure I understood how you told me to install Tinfoil other than using `Album`

Edited;

Ok, so after unzipping, I can see Tinfoil in `Album`. Can I install it from here?

V3 is also working with OLED model but there is one minor design flaw (not on purpose because Nin has change a little bit design, so when you install v3 into an OLED, it will slowly kill the CPU of OLED model. The V4 and new bootloader of the V4 are released to solve that problem.
