Fixed it, thanks.

Having an issue: Installs fine, then "The software was closed because an error occurred" Just started happening with a lot of games that worked before. I installed using DBI.

Try copying these files to SD card, then reboot. https://github.com/impeeza/sys-patch/releases/tag/v1.5.5

Uh this is really spooky, but my firmware downgraded itself, without me knowing, to 12,1.0

Do you know if the backup option in Hekate (Backup eMMC) include both emuNand and sysNand?
Also, what's the difference between "SD emuMMC Raw Partition" when toggled on or off during backup?

When the toggle is off, the backup is sysnand/OFW nand.

If your firmware «downgraded» is because you started another *NAND (EmuNAND or SysNAND)

Thanks!
Do you know if there is a difference between getting a whole rawbind or when it is divided into 14-15 parts? I noticed when I backed up both emuNand and sysNand that they are split up?

That's due to the filesize limitation of FAT32, no need to worry about it, Hekate handles it for you.

Hello, I would need help setting-up 2 files based emunands on the same sd card.
My folders looks like this

And my ini file looks like that

What would I change in the ini files to make both emunand appear here at right side to choose what emunand to activate ?

My bad, I didn't need to change anything, just adding the file_based file in each folder was enough to make hekate see the folders

Thank you! Anything else needed than the rawbind, boot0 and boot1 for restoring the switch to ofw?

I am personally not sure if you should do anything else before going online with it, so I'd wait for someone else to weigh in. Particularly about:

• If you have upgraded the firmware and this is a downgrade, you may want to offline upgrade with Daybreak, I'm not sure if upgrading the same switch to the same version twice via OTA is dangerous, but I can imagine it might be.
• Any problems with duplicate telemetry uploads, you might need to clean something?

If you restore a NAND backup to a state even seconds before last online connection YOU WILL BE BANNED once that restored NAND get online. So after restoring a NAND that NAND most of the times should keep offline afterwards.

hi folks,
i've modded a switch before and am genuinely at a loss trying to fix this error.

unknown pkg1 version
HOS version not supported
or emuMMC corrupt

trying backup bootloader
found pkg1
failed to launch HOS

anyone have ideas? nothing is seeming to work

Update Hekate and Atmosphere.

 

[CharlieB8KR]

Update Hekate and Atmosphere.

I have, both replaced with most up to date copies
I have tried pretty much every solution I could find on here and still no clue
when trying to boot through fusee i get invalid gpt signature
when booting through sysmmc i get error code 2123-0011

You using fusee or fss0?

 

[CharlieB8KR]

You using fusee or fss0?

im not 100% sure on the difference but fss0 i assume as im trying to boot through hekate.

Do you mean it's not possible to restore to ofw (remove cfw) without getting banned if you go online?

Or do you mean restore the cfw which you can't go online with if there is a time difference?

If you restore to a state that was earlier than the last time you were online and you go online you would get banned.

That's interesting, because I've heard some contradictory statements then:

• having a NAND backup is preferable than having to use haku
• haku has cleaned a dirty offline NANDs and at least one person has reported not being banned
• a lot of people have used haku (or tools like it), as seen in the missing content meta database save incident, and it isn't general knowledge that doing this gets you banned, so I'm assuming it doesn't.

What Impezza said is correct

 

[CharlieB8KR]

im not 100% sure on the difference but fss0 i assume as im trying to boot through hekate.

update: i have replaced every file in the folder, added sys patch and tried all fixes that others have suggested to double check but still no luck.
anyone who’s shared this problem please give me a shout!!
