I'll check that out soon, I have all the most recent releases, though the USB port I tried on the PC is shit.
Positive the cable works great for both PC and Android apps.

Generally on most PC, the USB ports on back of PC case/ on the Motherboard are the best to use. And be careful using shit USB ports with the Switch, it can easily damage the Switch.

I forgot about this til I updated myself, and a few of my games crashing on start. This sounds like your problem.

Exosphere doesn't actually zero out the serial, it pretends to from the perspective of Nintendo. Meanwhile Incognito truly does zero out the serial which is why its no longer recommended to use since Incognito does the same job but much safer. Incognito can tell that the hardcoded serial isn't actually blank while exosphere is running so now its replaced the job of Incognito.
The save file for what? What are you trying to accomplish?
I wanted to check if Switch is banned or not, so I will delete CFW using Haku33, how do I know if Switch is banned or not?
Firstly, Haku33 does not "delete" CFW. It aggressively removes error codes and other pertinent information which can lead to a ban. In fact, a user has already been banned after usage of Haku33. Secondly, checking if a console has been banned or not is as simple as loading the eShop.
You would restore a clean eMMC backup that was made before running CFW/homebrew.
If you don't have a clean nand backup. Don't boot ofw or try and factory reset or clean yourself. Follow this https://www.cfwaifu.com/haku33/
Make a backup first. Overwrite with the clean backup after.... And hope for the best.

What save file? If your tranfering from one system to another put it in whatever folder your save manager made in the original system then press restore or inject instead of backup.
If you didn't make a NAND backup prior to running CFW/Homebrew then you don't have a clean NAND.

Actually it was sysmmc.txt I was trying to keep a clean nand. But using cfw for a faster boot.... It worked for about a year but did eventually result in a ban.
Hello everyone. I am looking for advice on how to unbrick my Switch after updating the stock firmware.
My Switch is unpatched and I can enter RCM using a jig. I was on firmware 10.1.0 before the update. I followed the NH Switch Guide on a previously unhacked Switch, including dumping my keys and creating backups. However, once I tried to launch Atmosphere, I'd only get thrown back into RCM.
My thought process at the time was that my firmware needed to be newer to match up with the latest Atmosphere. So I booted back into the stock firmware and updated. The dialog said it was successful and that the Switch would reboot, but it did not turn back on. So somehow, my Switch got bricked doing the official update. I tried the standard things such as holding the power button for 15sec (and in combination with the volume buttons), but no luck. In case it is somehow relevant, I should mention that my Switch does not have a working game card reader.
Getting back into Hekate, I tried the three launch options (Atmosphere emuNAND, Atmosphere sysNAND, and stock), but all blackscreened. Inside Hekate, I saw that the burnt fuse count had increased from 13 to 18 (firmware 16.0.0+), meaning that the update had been applied to a point.
Next I tried a guide entitled "Rectify Boot Errors" by Switchway to try to restore the system, but this did not work. I next tried to restore my backup (from before the update), but the Switch still does not boot. I stopped at this point as it was clear that I am out of my depth and might cause even further damage, which why I am turning to you folks.
I'd like to get back to a point where I can boot the stock firmware. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi all. I've done a lot of reading and i have a few questions if that's ok.
So there's 2 methods, CFW through unpatched console. Then there's modchip that them allows you to install CFW. right?
From what i understand the modchip simply allows you to install CFW, so the installation of CFW after installing the chip is the same as doing it on a unpatched console right?
I'm looking to buy the hwfly v5 or 4.1? This is where in really confused. I have one switch and one switch lite that i want to do I'm not sure which is the right one. I saw there's an instinct modchip too. It's that compatible with all versions or just oled?

Restoring your backup, like you did, should get you back to a working state, but the problem you have now is that your fuses count does not match your firmware. Solution: boot through Hekate. It ignores the burnt fuses. You should boot back to the same firmware you had when you made your backup. If everything is working, just re-hack and re-update afterwards.
Hmm, exactly the same way you installed the games in the first place. Through shops, or directly downloading the update as a nsp file and installing it.
Which shops? It's quite a painful task to look fot updates for each game for the matching region and manually install it.
Shops are just a source. If you don't know about them, don't worry about it. Wherever you found your games files (nsp or nsz files), you should also find the corresponding updates. Update files share the same gameid as the base files, except they end with 800 instead of 000, if I recall correctly, so that takes care of the matching region problem you mentioned.
Thank you, I knew about this but often I dont find recent updates... I thought there was another way such as updating them OTA or some website with game update compilation.
