I just finished upgrading from 4.1.0 to 5.1.0 - I updated using the "non-exfat" option.

I booted into 5.1.0 using the stock option and it asked me to upgrade my firmware for my sdcard.

If I upgrade the sdcard firmware, will I be able to use it on 4.1.0 if I ever decide to downgrade? Should I have selected the "exfat" option?

If you select the update SD card firmware option on your Switch, it will burn your fuses so either format the SD card to FAT32 or use ChoiDujourNX again but this time select the exFAT option.

Thanks for the reply, that doesn't answer my initial question tho.. if I upgrade my sdcard firmware will it be compatible with 4.1.0 if I chose to downgrade in the future?

If you use ChoiDujourNX to install the exFAT update, it will still be compatible. But if you follow the Switch's prompt and obtain it the official way, you will burn a fuse and not be able to downgrade.

Hi, I'm trying to install this. I'm booting into homebrew menu via the sx os. I have the nro file in the switch folder and I have copied the hbloader update to the root of my sd card. Upon launching ChoidujourNX, my switch stays at a black screen. Is there anything I might have missed?

  • Q: I just want to install exFAT on the current firmware version I already have. Can I do this using ChoiDujourNX ?
  • A: Absolutely, just place a folder containing the exFAT version of the firmware you are currently running and choose it inside ChoiDujourNX. It will only install the required couple of packages needed for exFAT, and you can even disable the AutoRCM option (if you are sure the firmware you are installing is the same burned fuse count as the one you are currently running).

I would simply like to say : thank you for your great tools.
I was searching a way to install exFAT on my 4.1.0 firmware, and I was able to do it in a few seconds with RajNX and ChoiDujourNX (and some "xbins magic" :ph34r:). This is absolutely PERFECT :bow:


ps : ChoiDujourNX UI is really amazing !

I don't have any issue by updating with choidujournx throught hekate_fspatches_v3.bin (dead cells game)
From 4.1.0 to 5.1.0 (still 5 fuses after update). I'm using SXOS and I press volume + when sending the sxos payload.

For those of us using sxos (injected from pc), and want to save GC fuse, is it possible to boot into Hekate with new safe .ini then from there launch sxos payload?

SX OS can only be launched with the SX OS Loader. And there's no launch configuration with SX OS that includes nogc since TX does not allow customization of their CFW/payload.

Is there any risk of accidentally burning a fuse if I have AutoRCM enabled after using this tool to update to 5.1?

I am currently using Hekate on 4.1 and I've noticed there are options to boot into the regular Switch firmware, and there was one time my Switch couldn't read my SD card in Hekate and booted the regular firmware as well. Would booting into the regular firmware through Hekate accidentally burn a fuse?

If you're booting the console via Hekate, you will not burn fuses no matter which firmware you pick. The normal bootloader of the console is what burns fuses. If you don't enter RCM, then the normal bootloader will take over and burn fuses. You then must use a substitute bootloader that not only prevents fuses from being burnt but bypasses the fuse check such as Hekate, ReiNX, and SX OS V1.2+

Thanks! So for pretty much any general use - as long as I keep AutoRCM on and use Hekate (or ReiNX), my fuses should be safe?
