Hey guys. I got into hacking my switch and followed the guides available but I want to re-confirm some things to make sure they won't come back to bite me later on, and I have some questions so I can be sure i 100% understood various things. Also some questions here I haven't found answered in guides or discussions.
Please help me out with the following.
1. Although ReiNX's guide said that you backup your NAND after booting into CFW, I read somewhere else that booting into CFW and backing up nand won't result in a clean copy of said NAND, and that it'll be risky to go online after restoring it. I therefore used the hekate bootloader and backed up nand (without booting CFW) with a 64GB card through that, and although it took almost two hours, i got a 29.1GB rawnand.bin after merging(I also dumped boot 0/1). The question here is, did i backup a clean copy of the nand properly? I'm sure that since it's 29.1GB it's not corrupted, but is it clean?
2. I'm on 4.1.0 and needed ExFAT support, so I used ChoiDujourNX. In Rajkosto's guide, at the very bottom it says that as long as the firmware with exfat has the same number of burnt fuses, I can even disable AutoRCM. This is more of a safety measure, as I won't voluntarily disable it, but how can I make sure that the firmware has the same number of burnt fuses? I already applied 4.1.0ExFAT and am currently on AutoRCM, and don't want to disable it as that would render my clean NAND backup useless in case it had a different number of burnt fuses( right? ). Supposing I somehow, accidentally disable autoRCM at any point, it doesn't have to be on this FW, this will render my NAND backup useless unless i was on the firmware I made it. If I then make a NAND backup on 4.1.0ExFAT, it won't be clean anymore, will it?
3. As Warframe Switch comes out fairly soon(20th of november), they will allow account progress transfer from PC. If that will involve installing the game on switch, how would I go about doing that so I can install the game, log into it once to copy over my character progress then completely disappear off the radar? I want to have it transfered so that if we ever get the means of going online safely on CFW, I won't have to start over, but I don't want my switch banned.
The only way I see this working is by restoring to my clean nand, updating normally through ninty, getting warframe and then going into CFW from that firmware, but i'd have burnt my fuses. Another way i'm thinking is by ChoiDujour, but disabling autoRCM and at the end of installing I power off instead of rebooting, boot into RCM manually and use Hekate bootloader and boot into OFW, which should keep the firmware clean, not burn fuses and I can even downgrade back.
Thanks in advance!
