Hacking 6.2.0 Confusion, explained.

[thaikhoa]

SX on sysnand 6.2 can boot to CFW on emunand 6.1.

 

[taggen86]

Just want to be sure that I understand everything, it is not possible to access CFW or downgrade at all using emunand or any other methods if you have no backups and you are on 6.2.0 (and you cannot use backups from other switches) ? Hence my console is more or less locked in its original pre sx pro state until they patch sx os?

Is the eShop access still possible as of now with 6.1?

 

[AxlSt00pid]

Well, I'm awaiting until switch's EOL (or at least something like when the 10.7 3ds exploit released) to hack it, so I'll gladly wait and update.

For everyone else that wants hacks right now do as it's always recommended and do not update, simple as that

im on 6.2 cuz i want to play online my legit games, i have old emunand on 6.1. i use to boot both using autorcm but when im on TX volume + menu i press boot original firmware and he didnt boot as allways, something is wrong with this but i dont know how to fix this, i tested and unisntalling autorcm OFW boots normally but i dont want damage right joycon bay with the jig, please help

You should add a button to the right joycon so when it’s pressed it shorts pin 1 and 10

Backup sysnand 6.2.0, Restore sysnand to 6.1.0, use sxos to set up emunand. Check emunand boots up into 6.1.0, then restore sysnand to 6.2.0. Sorted. Use latest hekate to restore nands.

I thought 6.2 burnt fuses and prevents downgrades?

No. We can bypass fuse checks. What 6.2 prevents is 6.2 cfw. So downgrading is possible.

I will lose warranty, and my joycons have some issues, before warranty expires i will send them to nintendo, anyway i read newer firmwares can detect mods on the joycons, i dont like that metod.

If I’m not planning on using any online features (not even on my WiFi network) are there any implications of this 6.2 release for me? It sounds like tinfoil removes the firmware check for NSP’s it installs, so if I just keep it on 6.1 forever will I be fine?

If the new games or updates/DLC use the new keys tinfoil can’t help with that. You may be fine for awhile but not forever. Key issues aside if software has dependentcies on the new firmware tinfoil can help with that either. Tinfoil bypasses the firmware check but doesn’t fix anything.

Once games are encrypted/deveveloped with a newly updated, 6.2+ locked SDK, the games will no longer even run on <6.2 firmware as they'd be missing tools/calls/updated/dependencies changes.

The ignore firmware tool only works because there's been no major developer tool changes, once that is no longer the case then the tool becomes useless.

Got it, thanks for explaining guys!

Sorry if I still ask this but so I can update my sysnand and play online and I will be still able to boot emunand and play all the stuff in there? Are we sure, someone have tested this? Want to play some paladins and the new warframe but won't let me do it if I don't update.

It does, but sleep mode doesn't work on 6.2 emunand, other than that its fine.

I'm pretty fine with a perfectly working 6.2 ofw and 6.1 emunand without sleep mode. Sx dongle is very handy.

 

[aerios169]

if i updapte without burning fuses, will be break the sleep mode on emunand?

No but then you will be unable to load OFW because there is no bootloader that can bypass the fuse check on 6.2

 

[comput3rus3r]

loosing sleepmode is a deal breaker for me. 6.1 for life.

It all boots the same if newer firmware could detect mods it would flag the jig too. Joycon wouldn’t show unless you press the button

So if I update and get banned, Am I fucked?
