Hacking Rebooting from Atmosphère into Atmosphère is coming

[cucholix]

Coming soon, on an upcoming June 15th: https://t.co/hngLHGBro7

There're still some kinks to work out (it's not quite working fully yet), but rebooting from Atmosphère into Atmosphère without the need for RCM will soon be possible :)

It's a mayor step forward into getting a permanent CFW, having to re-inject the payload when the atmosphere crashes is a pain.

No more dongles! Hurray!

Well you still need it initially , but yeah once you inject it the first time you are done

 

[Zumoly]

Wow! The Switch scene is moving at such a fast pace that one cannot keep up!
Thanks for the heads up.

That is huge news, but is it limited to specific firnware

 

[Paulsar99]

Nice. I wonder what firmware will this work?

 

[ZachyCatGames]

If someone wanted to they could probably make an app that reboots a payload right now , it would require a recent build of Atmosphere of course though.

All firmwares

 

[Zumoly]

I don't think it will be firmware specific no? Otherwise he would have said so.

Damn! That's pretty awesome.

But when you got a crash you can't boot apps

If it’s like the reboot to rcm feature, homebrew apps can also use it, not only fatal

Ah yeah

 

[PatrickD85]

Well that is nice to see coming. Seeing as somethings currently still need a reboot (themes mainly) that is nice to hear. No doubt SXOS will rip that later on. (PS no flame but reasonable assumption)

 

[linuxares]

Yay reboot in to Hekate probably will be possible as well then

EDIT: Read Twitter, he confirmed.
EDIT2: What kind of dark magic does that man use?

 

[PatrickD85]

Well I dont care if it's voodoo or anything as long as this becomes a thing really

 

[Zumoly]

What crash are you referring?
If the Switch system crashes I don't think this homebrew will work as it means instant reboot.

god i hope this gets released soon

I looks like this can be done from a crash error screen! That's incredible

One thing that's still not clear, is if this will make coldboot into CFW possible or not?
I mean, I know you need RCM to do it initially, but after setting up CFW with RCM, will we be able to power off, and boot up the Switch directly into CFW without the need of RCM?

The way the video is handled makes it seem as if it's only something used when Atmosphere errors out, not from a coldboot.

Oh really? Incredible indeed!
