So I charged a backup of my switch when it was on fimware 14.1.0 (I was already on version 16.0.3 without the rebootles update beforehand) and when I entered emummc, it updated when opening a game to 14.1.1 because the download of that finware was already finished, after that, I used daybreak on emummc to update to the fimware 16.0.3 rebootless update.
Thinking the system was already updated to the latest fimware, I went to OFW and there I saw a fimware update already downloaded in system settings, when I open a game again and select update console, then the system rebooted, but after that it doesn't seem to turn on or recognized as rcm deviced anymore.

I already tried entering to hekate (I had Auto-rcm enabled beforehand) but neither of my pcs recognized it as a rcm device anymore, even if I hold the power button for more than 15s and tried connecting it to my pc again or use the jig while pressing power up and volumen up, the console is not recognized as rcm device, I also installed the drivers on tegrarcmgui (the program I use to inject payloads) but it also didn't solve the problem, I had the atmosphere folder to 1.54 and the hekate to v6.04, so ¿What do you guys think the problem is?
 
dont know where to ask, but i have an OLED Switch with a HWFLY. I combined mods for Pokemon S/V. on RyujiNX they work, but on my switch they Crash...somehow.... my game is 1.3.1 and mods are updated....i dont kow what to do
 
Hey everyone. Hardcore newb mistakes were made.
Goal:
I'd like to bypass either the need for the SD card..maybe using usb. Or, bypassing the "micro" pins on the board...

Background Story:
My sd card was intermittently disabled when lightly pressing on the back of the stand. This made me think there was something slightly disconnected. I opened it up, made sure the cable mount was properly seated, and still no avail. I reseated and then it stopped working entirely.

I ordered a new internal card reader only to find it was actually a pin on the receptacle for the SD reader.

Some Google-foo guided me to a video for removal and reinstall. I acquired all the parts and went from there.

Unfortunately.....in the process it seems that I shortened a couple of the connection lines for the main board to connect to the new receptacle. I believe either 2 or 3. (I'd have to go double check).

Thoughts:
I know I can mount to the remaining points. Bypassing the damaged connections seems rather straightforward due to several factors on the board. But, I'd rather bypass this entirely where plausible. Since type C adapters and type c flash media is pretty standard these days...it would be great to go this route.

Last resort:
I'd rather avoid this but if required I can go acquisition an oled and use the picofly. Preferably I'd rather save the money. But at this point....may be the only option.

Sorry for the blurry photo, the old connector...is missing the pin on the bottom left.

So, i was trying to load atmosphere and it says Failed to load package3, but it's using Fusee.bin
I followed the Rentry Emummc guide,
but it wont work
 
Hello everyone,

I wish to restore my backup made with hekate, before CFW. However, when I try to run restore eMMC BOOT0 BOOT1, I get
00: BOOT0
Error (4) file not found. Continuing...
Failed!

01: BOOT1
Error (4) file not found. Continuing...
Failed!

it can't find your boot0/1
 
Make sure the boot0/boot1 are in the restore folder if you want to do a nand restore also boot0/boot1 have to match with the firmware it was backed up with.
Thanks! It helped!

Oh and BTW..
I tried restoring RAW GPP, but it says restore folder is empty.
Do i do the same as what i need to do on the BOOT0-BOOT1?

Hi everyone,

Was wondering if some of the wiser members here could help with a query I have please,

A lot of Switch guides say that you have to install at least one game/application at the very beginning of the CFW process, be it a physical one or from the e-store. I notice a lot of the time Youtube is used.

I would like to understand why?, and also, should this be done in OFW or CFW?

The general gist I got is that this is done so that you can hit right shoulder button to enable full memory use on the item you want to launch. Is this correct?

Many thanks in advance.

Performing a system update in OFW removes AutoRCM which is why none of your devices recognize your console in RCM because AutoRCM is gone. You need to manually enable RCM again with your jig or equivalent item.

Don't follow that guide. Its not very good. I highly suggest following this guide instead.

Your assumption is indeed correct. This one game/application is used to allow users to enter the homebrew menu with more RAM. However, its only useful if you're not pirating because if you are, you can just install any .NSP online to achieve the same effect. It also does not matter whether you do it in CFW or OFW because the title will be there in both but you should not go online to the eShop in CFW unless you want to risk getting banned.
 
Was mistaken, I actually used daybreak. Think I attempted to use AIO before but like you said its garbo. Anyways, for this problem specifically though I had successfully updated and everything was going fine, but I let the battery die and had to charge from AutoRCM for a bit.. then boom this issue.
Had been following suchmememanyskill's mmc rebuild guide up until I couldn't get EmmcHaccGen to work. There a different guide you recommend for rebuilding?


No dice
Seems like letting the battery die is causing my emummc to corrupt... this has happened twice now. This a known issue?
 
Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded my old v1 to an OLED and am considering getting a modchip installed to get cfw back. Don't know much in the modchip area and am kind of unsure of what to purchase to have installed. I know that RP2040 mini boards are often used for installs, but I also came across this RP2040 board and am unsure of the consensus on it:

1 Set For NS Switch For Switch Lite For Switch Oled Cable For Hwfly Core Or SX Core Chip
(It won't let me post the link, but it's on Aliexpress and has a bit over 300 sold and 4.9 star rating)

If someone could explain the differences and give recommendations of what hardware to buy for the person installing it that would be super helpful. Also, after a modchip is installed do they eventually fail in some way or another and need to be re-seated or will a good install last indefinitely for the most part?

Thanks!

For OLED you need either Picofly, or HWFLY OLED, Instinct-NX V6, or RP2040 OLED, they are chip that work with OLED, RP 2040 is basically Picofly in cleaner chip form.
