Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

Had to make a new emuNAND due to circumstances with my old SD card dying, and now I can't boot back into sysNAND or stock from nyx. Getting the error :

Pkg2 decryption failed!
Pkg1/pkg2 mismatch or old hekate!
Failed to launch HOS!

If I restart the console, just loads into a black screen. Both my emuNAND and sysNAND are on 16.0.1, and I can boot into nyx and emuNAND without any issues. I've checked and this behavior is similar to auto RCM being turned on, despite the fact that it's off. Updated Nyx and atmosphere to no avail. Can anyone help?

But I mean, is there any cons of doing this instead of using Instinct-NX for example ? (which is not available in my country)

As far I know Insticnt-NX is a clone of the SX Core, The original SX cores are very old but you can update the firmware.

where can i find latest sig patches

Do you need special equipment to update the firmware ? And why is this needed ?

Usually pkg1 refers to fusee.bin if you are using fusee or hekate as bootloader, pkg2 refers to package3 in the atmosphere files.

I have used the latest versions for both and the error persists

You h2testw your card before?

You h2testw your card before?

I did with my previous card, which is why I had to replace it with a new one that I'm having this issue with now

 

[impeeza]

normally is done via the USB port of the chip, or vía the hekate payload.

You should always test the card when getting a new card.

Sd card is extant but installed his driver supports fat 32 failed to launch hos?

when i load hekate i get the above error
i tried to update and its not booting now
what do i do?

You listen to the error message and use FAT32.

I have problem starting switch in SYS CFW:
Panic occurred while running Atmosphere
Title ID: 010000000000002B
error: std::abort (0xFFE)

OFW and EMUMMC CFW working normal
FW 16.0.2
Latest HATS pack
Picofly chip
Before Picofly install console was reset to stock settings and updated.

Never ever use HATS. Its a notoriously bad pack. Delete it from your SD card and start fresh by downloading Atmoshere from the official GitHub page.

JUST A QUICK QUESTION:
Been using emuMMC for the nonlegit stuff and decided to boot sysCFW for legit online play. downloaded unite,strikers and NSO apps, but it went to SD CARD!

Should I be worried? i already transferred it back to internal 64gb but i also have this folder in sd card(plug to pc)?

You should be more worried about booting CFW and going online with it. That will ban you faster than downloading a game.

where can i find latest sig patches

There are no such thing as "sig patches". There are only FS, ES, & Loader patches. The latest patches can always be found in this thread.

 

[Hayato213]

Do you need special equipment to update the firmware ? And why is this needed ?

It come down to the bootloader it use, SX OS had it own bootloader, people who had SX Core could upgrade the bootloader to like spacecraft-NX, typically you don't really need to upgrade the firmware on the chip once it is programmed, use daybreak to update system firmware if you were updating the system firmware.

Hi ! I have a problem with my hacked switch, when I launch a game and I try to get in the homebrew menu (in applet mode, via the picture icon), I'm softlock, I have to restart my switch by holding the power button. I found that the problem came from sys-ftpd and sys-dvr. I tried to reinstall the sysmodules, atmosphere, I even changed my sd card and reinstall everything (even the emuMMC) from zero, but I still have this issue. I don't found a lot of people complaining about this, so I don't understand why I'm having this issue.
It's not a big trouble but it's annoying because I kinda need sys-dvr
Thanks in advance for the help !

So where should I play online? OFW?

 

[impeeza]

So where should I play online? OFW?

you only play on a clean NAND (EmuNAND or SysNAND), clean is NO PIRACY, CFW is almost good.

you never should go online on a NAND with piracy or prohibited modifications.

Should i still use incognito? im gonna follow this guide
https://www.cfwaifu.com/switch-incognito/

or is it not worth it anymore?

No needed anymore, Atmosphère does it natively.

Hi guys,after two years that I launched caffeine from 3.0.0 with pegascape, today it doesn't work anymore I made many attempts, the exploit starts but when I press on the empty box to wait 3 seconds, an error 2207-0248 instantly occurs and I am forced to reboot the switch. I checked dns and updated all the files on the SD I have the latest version of hekate and atmosphere, until a few days ago I had no problems, can you help me?

Hi all.
So, my friend did all the hacking on my Switch by himself so I'm extremely noob here but right now I need to upgrade my SD Card and my friend isn't within reach anymore.

I followed the guide on NH Server to upgrade it but ignored the 30gb free space when backing up the files. The BOOT0 & BOOT1 backup went fine but the Raw GPP said that I had insuficient space (only 8gb) but started doing a partial backup anyway and I couldn't stop it. After finishing the partial backup it told me to free some space on the SD Card.

I have no games currently installed on the SD card on my emuMMC and I can't access my SYSNAND because when I try to boot it I get an error message saying "unknown pkg1 version hos version not supported".

I don't know which folders I can delete safely on my PC to free some space and even if I do that I don't know how much space I'll actually have freed because It says on my PC that the SD Card only has 30gb max size even tough it's a 64SD Card.

Any light on how to solve this issue right now?

How to properly access/start pure OFW? Without removing SD card

I kept seeing and hearing in videos that some are semi stock,bypasses fuse, not pure OFW.

How to access it?
