Make sure you install the NSP update with tinfoil and avoid the firmware requirement during installation.

Hi, can tinfoil bypass firmware checks if the update requires v6? Does this work with any nsp update which requires it? My switch is still on 5.1 and I would like to install the major updates if it's first required to install a DLC

All raw .NSP files have an XML file which forces it to be installed on a firmware that is usually higher than the actual required firmware version. What Tinfoil does with the ignore required firmware version is bypass this XML when installing the .NSP file so you can use its true required firmware version which is dependent on which masterkeys were used to encrypt. Every new firmware introduces new masterkeys with which games and content are encrypted with which is what causes them to require higher firmwares. You can check this by using the Switch Backup Manager or decrypting the .NSP with hactool and checking the masterkey encryption. Anyways, I doubt any of the new updates are encrypted with the masterkeys found on firmware 6.X (they are most likely encrypted with the ones on firmware 5.X) so its only the XML file making them require firmware 6.X

Nope
But you can use the ReiNX CFW.
A guide how to install this firmware can be found in the section. It's super easy and works perfect for me. You can boot back into SX OS after the installation of the nsp file with tinfoil on ReiNX.

yes, you can, I've just done it to install the update for starlink. Put the tinfoil nro in the 'switch' folder. load from hombrew in the album folder. The nsp file has to be in a /tinfoil/nsp folder. Works perfectly (so far)!

okay. I tried this yesterday and it didn't work for me. Will try it later again...

You are close, small nit pick... nothing reads the XML at all. It is completely ignored by every current title installer. The version check is in the cnmt file, and every current installer I know of bypasses this check in that file before installing.
