Hi guys, I'm kinda new to the scene, I was wondering how to inject the payload using a R4i dongle. It seems like I need a file called "current.uf2" but the one on their website says v6.1. Does that mean I need to wait for a v6.2 before I can use it to run the new 0.8.0 atmosphere or can I still use the v6.1 and it'll still work? Thanks!
Probably best to wait if you're a newbie, but you could also try flashing the custom/advanced loader that runs any payload called payload.bin on your sd card. I would imagine after copying all the atmosphere files over you could rename fusee-primary to payload.bin and try that.
Aaaaand 0.8.1 just dropped with auto-nogc!
That will be super handy for me personally

What's auto-nogc. Sorry for my ignorance... I tried to read but can't get it.

The firmwares 4.0.0 and higher update the gamecard reader on your Switch. If you have a Switch that had a firmware below 4.0.0 and used a tool like ChoiDujourNX to update which also allows you to downgrade, you don't want your gamecard reader updated. Otherwise when you are back in the old firmware, the gamecard won't read your cartridges
Having the `nogc` option means the gamecard reader is disabled and it can't be updated.

Oh, that's clear now. Ty for the clarification!

To those arguing the semantics of terms, a jailbreak almost literally means what it says. It just removes signature checking so you can run unsigned code. (Doesn't Atosphere still even not actually do this out of the box, or do we no longer need third-party supplied patches?) It's like just removing the bars from the jail -- where you go from there and what you do is up to you to do on your own. Atmosphere is an actual CFW in that it significantly modifies huge amounts of the firmware or even outright replaces entirely many components. It just isn't a "complete" firmware in that it doesn't replace the original outright. (Given how the Switch works that would actually be troublesome and do more harm than good. But also the biggest reason is it would mean distributing copyright code which would get rid of the very useful open-source nature of this and cause a lot of legal problems in an era where companies are a lot more likely to come down hard on anyone caught doing something that big.) Back in the PSP days we already figured all this out. This is a "LCFW" (I believe that L was "light.") It is a custom firmware, but it's loaded externally and doesn't replace the original. (It's worth noting that even true CFWs like Dark-Alex's -- I think that was the name, but man it has been a long time -- on the PSP didn't replace everything. They still basically just patched a lot of components and only replaced a bit.) To be absolutely clear, a LCFW is still a CFW, just not "complete" by that definition that it must overwrite the original and boot up unassisted, thus CFW "light" or whatever. Semantically we can still call it a "CFW" with that understanding that it is actually a LCFW. But we can't call it "jailbreaking" because that does not describe what this does and would only fit if all it did was just a few very basic signature patches and nothing else (speaking of which, the origin of the term didn't use a tethered payload for every bootup either, so the definition given earlier wouldn't work even where the term was first used...)
Anyway, I never figured out what was wrong before. I was hoping someone would know. However, I redid things again with the new Atmosphere release and it's now working again, so I can once again use the official payload via Hekate thank goodness. I just hope I don't run into whatever happened before again. My best bet is the culprit was something among the patches used as I found a different set when searching this time around versus what sdfiles uses (and this one says it supports up to 6.2.0 so I knew it was more up-to-date.) It would be nice if I could be sure so whatever it was doesn't happen again, but it's definitely working again now.
EDIT: Seems the key derivation failed error happens a LOT when booting with 0.8.1. I'm getting it almost exactly one out of every two times too. Also on 6.1.0. It's mostly a minor annoyance (I use a SwitchMe anyway, so it's mostly a delay since it seems to take a while after the reboot this does before it delivers the payload again, but I don't have to do anything with cables or anything anyway, so not such a big deal since mainly I just sit there staring at a blank screen for a while.)

This is true. RCM is almost not even "code" so much as just a really basic SoC function. If a RCM relied on the system's own firmware to function it would potentially defeat the entire purpose since the RCM is supposed to be usable to correct a potentially completely broken system and would be needed if, for example, a system were rendered unbootable. (Remember, the Tegra was originally heavily oriented towards Android devices. Developers and third party ROM users use recovery functionality a fair bit -- though usually not quite this low level, that's emergencies only.) We push a payload (and thanks to the exploit it doesn't have to be signed) and the payload executes its own code without the system ever making it to the actual boot process. Even "AutoRCM" still basically qualifies because it causes an immediate failure in trying to actually boot the firmware breaking the process before it ever really starts.
Like I said, this is by all definitions except the very most strict of requiring it to actually physically replace system files on the NAND a true CFW. "LCFW" really is still the best term because it's still externalized, but it's very close to being a true CFW even by that definition because it takes over and modifies functionality during the boot process itself (didn't you notice the custom boot screen?)

Do we really care about the definition of CFW, cold boot and "LCFW" in this topic ?
To all users having key derivation failed, did you open an issue on the github ? did you report the issue in the reswitched discord ?
