Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Draxzelex]

I have two questions.

I setup my switch with the noob guide for CFW (rcm method)

When i click reboot in emunand and hold the minus volume, it does not go back to hekate, but just reboot emunand, how can i make it so when i click restart and hold the minus it goes to hekate?

Also i removed my serial number in emunand with tinfoil, now when it connects to wifi Atmosphere crashes (error 0100000000000025). How can i fix this?

1. You have to change the reboot_payload.bin in the /atmosphere folder to hekate. You can either make a copy of the current Hekate you use or download another one from the official GitHub page, rename it to reboot_payload.bin, then replace the one that currently resides in /atmosphere
2. You have to restore your serial number because you can no longer blank your serial number in firmware 17.0 or higher. If you still need to use the Internet while blocking Nintendo's servers, you have to use 90DNS

Nothing about those blank symbols look weird to me. If there is nothing installed to the console, empty squares will be displayed on the home menu. Also if entering recovery mode, injecting a payload, and running Atmosphere came at the risk of bricking, no one would want to hack a Nintendo Switch.

Okay, I dindn't know that. can i minimize the risk with using a special payload or an atmosphere Version? I hava another unpatched switch with v 16.03 and I use the payload "hekate_ctaer_5.6.5.bin" And AMS 1.5.4 S

Can i use this configuration for the unpatched v 17.00 switch as well?

There are no "special payloads" or alternative versions of Atmosphere. If you're that paranoid about bricking the console, just backup your eMMC using Hekate before you ever launch Atmosphere. Also configurations are not console-specific; they can be used on any Switch.

I tried launching the payload, I pasted everything from the "justinsertthisstuff" Package to the root and launched. First it showed me an error ans now the hekate menu. Should I try to launch it?

It says warning: Nyx is missing

I've never heard of that and combined that with the fact that its already giving you issues, I would recommend avoiding using it. Delete anything you downloaded from it as well as anything you put on your SD card and start fresh by following this guide.

I used another atmosphere pack and finally it works thanks a Lot for your help!

Someone very smart to answer me: AUTO RCM option downside is not charging battery in sleep mode?

 

[QWERTY_YTREWQ]

Is Sys tweak available for the latest version of the switch firmware?
I found one file, but it freeze on the switch boot logo.

Edit:

Found it.

Is there a way to set one of those custom nintendo switch online pfp as a pfp on emunand?

OLED? Looks like this issue: https://gbatemp.net/threads/picofly...init-emmc-but-with-hwfly-working-fine.633167/

No, AutoRCM has no effect on sleep mode or the charge rate of the battery. AutoRCM only affects the ability of the console to normally boot up which instead causes it boot into RCM instead of OFW.

You can try using Avatool

Hi all,

Thanks in advance for helping.

I had a error occur where joy cons couldn't connect to swich as airplane mode was stuff on and wouldn't toggle off.

I try to reset the switch. The Main issues is now when i boot in to Atmosphere I get this right as the NS logo comes up.

Error Code: (2002-4336) 0xB961E002
Program ID: 010000000000003e
Process Name: olsc
Firmware: 16.0.3 (Atmosphère 1.6.2-master)

What i have tried
- searching and deleting folder 010000000000003e but haven't found it
- updating hekate, Atmosphère and sig patches
- deleted atmosphere folder on SD card and replaced it with new version


Just a few more things.

There is nothing in content folder of Atmosphèrer,
I am using Fat32
Sysand works

Any tips

Uhhhh, okay, wow. You do realize that you're not supposed to factory reset the Switch while you have ANYTHING customized system-wise on it, right? This includes anything that modifies system titles or packages (such as the home menu or chat blacklist), including themes among other things. You'll need to remake a new emunand (I assume that's where your error is, since you said sysnand works) and lose all your data, as it is likely that something is completely borked in your emunand. The Nintendo support site says that the most likely fix is to completely power cycle the Switch, which means having your jig handy and disabling AutoRCM. If that doesn't work, then your only option is indeed to make a new emunand.

Avatool crashed on boot, is there any alternative to add a custom profile picture?

Thanks for the reply.

Just to clarify when i said reset, i really meant just turned it off and on again. Not a factory reset.

I did the power cycle with the switch. As instructed. Still they same Error.

Is there a way to keep saved files? Or have i lost it all?

Oh, I see. Well, the error you're getting is saying that it cannot upload one or more save files to the cloud, likely because one or more save files has the 'file is ready for archiving' option disabled (assuming you're on Windows), which can be remedied by right-clicking on the affected file and under 'Attributes', clicking 'Advanced' and toggling the option. The problem lies in how you're supposed to restore the save(s) without being able to boot your Switch... If you didn't mess with save data, then the only other option is that somehow your emunand is corrupted and it cannot even read your savedata, not just unable to upload it...

Is it possible to copy downloaded tinfoil games from one switch to another in some Kind of way? So copy games in the Nintendo folder to another sd card and launch it on another switch?

Hello!! Long time Wii modder, here. I chip modded my Wii ages ago and have kept it up to date. One of the best things about the Wii modding community is that there's a site with very detailed how-to steps on modding before/during/after/etc (https://wii.guide/)

I have a V2 model number is HAC-001(-01) Mariko and my chip from AliExpress is finally here, HWFly Core RP2040.

There are so many scattered and fragmented tidbits of information scattered across YT, Reddit, and forums like this.

Is there a similar comprehensive guide or site for the Switch modding community with step by step guide from start to finish? I've already found some good YT videos for soldering.

Thank you for any tips and advice!

Not really for hardmodding. For softmodding, there's https://switch.hacks.guide/ (this is an old link, but still works and redirects to the proper page, so I'll continue to use it until it is discontinued)
softmodding is limited to about 10% of all Switch consoles on the market (and this number is diminishing by the day), however, so I understand the need for a centralized hardmodding guide, I really do. However, there isn't really one (YET), so you'll need to refer to threads about it here on this site instead.
