Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Bajdo]

Thanks! ^^ Glad to help.


If you don't want to start from scratch but want to update the existing CFW (provided that you're on Atmosphere and not SX OS), check this guide.
As for the rentry guide specifically, you can check the archive.org for archived pages. I'm sure that most if not all is still available there.

Following the Impessa guide, should I update to the pre-release of Atmosphere (v180) or the stable (v171)? Also for firmware, should I go for 1901 or any of the older ones?

I'm currently on the latest Atmosphere 1,8,0-pre and firmware 19.0.1 and, as far as I'm concerned, everything works properly.

I have a 2019 switch, gamecard reader broken, layer on dust on top, and i know absolutely nothing about how can i make it useful again without wasting money on eshop.
Would love some help.

*deleting post option?*

 

[Bajdo]

okay, I think I managed to upgrade now (following Impessa guide). I only went to 18.1.0 but now Tinfoil wont start....any ideas?
EDIT: Think I got it running by installing the Applet version of Tinfoil..seems to be problem with getting it running otherwise..

 

[Spurs90075]

Can someone tell me how to fix this please.

I think we need some more info on what you are trying to do (unless I missed a post or something). For starters, although I doubt this is your first time using TegraRCM, did you actually go to the settings tab and install the driver? Without that, Tegra won't properly recognize your Switch.

Also, I see from your earlier error message that you are already in Hekate. Why do you need to inject a Payload via TegraRCM?

You can simply copy a payload to the SD Card and launch it using the Payloads option in Hekate. You don't need to turn the Switch off before you remove the SD Card either, as long as you're in Hekate, everything will continue to work.

Yes, I do it via Hekate's SD card mounting tool.

i think that you cannot replace files that are in use like atmos and hekate...

 

[ShinLarc]

If I start up the Dragon Quest III remake I can play it just fine. If I reboot my console the game will check if I’m connected online. I’ll have to completely remove the game and the ticket and install again. I’ve never had this issue with any other game before so I’m wondering if this is some sort of ticket issue perhaps? And ideas how I can fix this game?

 

[impeeza]

When you use Hekate's UMS THERE IS NO FILES IN USE Hekate is loaded on the console's memory and the card is mounted full read/write on to the PC.

I really appreciate all the help I can get here with noob-questions, fast and helpful answers all the time, it's incredible!! It would not be possible without you all! Thanks everyone!

I successfully upgraded my CFW and have a question regarding the firmware folder I created during the upgrade process. I saved my FW-files in a folder called /firmware1810 in the root on my SD-card, can I delete this now or is those files in use?

...I also have a folder called just /firmware in the root of the SD-card, I assume this is from the previous time I upgraded but cannot recall. Is this supposed to be there or can I delete it given the same scenario/question above?

 

[impeeza]

, can I delete this now or is those files in use?

Yes, you can

also have a folder called just /firmware

I can not recall a homebrew needing that folder. For security backup it and delete it

Your CFW is actually Atmosphere (most likely anyway), and what you (likely) upgraded was your Firmware, which Is now 18.1.0 I believe?

Just wanted to set that straight.

Anyway, yes, you can delete both folders if you wish. Neither the folder nor the FW files are needed once the update is done.

I also have a folder named firmware on my SD Card, which i created myself.

yo is it possible to get banned if you boot up official firmware with custom FORWARDERS (not the games itself) installed onto the system?
