Hacking What do I have to do before upgrading?

[Igxigx]

Hi boys
I installed sxos ten days ago, my switch is 4.1.0 I have some games on the micro sd
I'd like to upgrade to 5.1.0 in order to use devmenu
It has never connected on internet
What should I do?
Disable the auto R.C.M?
Erase all my data?
Anything else?
Thank you

You shouldn't have AUTO RCM mode on to begin with, it's been known to cause issues with the battery. Unless that's been fixed in more recent versions of the OS

Nintendo is not detecting yet if Switch is booting from RCM. But AutoRCM is a bad thing none the less.
Earsing all your data won't help you, as logs are kept no matter what. You would need a NAND backup.
Also, because you are on 4.1.0, do you care about deja vu (booting CFW from a browser)? If so, follow rajkostos method on how to upgrade/downgrade to any FW without burning fuses. AutoRCM is needed here tho. That's the only useful place for it.

It does nothing to the battery. Switch just automatically reboots to RCM in like 12 seconds after powering it off.

That you won't be able to downgrade without then using autoRCM to bypass fuse check.
