Hardware Nintendo Switch Won't Turn

[mattytrog]

I forgot the sd card reader board that attaches to the console at my office... No other solution?

No sorry

The only other solutions are:

Dump complete rawnand to SD card and instead of connecting console to USB, use SD card which wil have "rawnand.bin"

Or

Solder wires to emmc module and link to an SD card adapter and plug direct to PC.

No other solution. I`ve been attempting to make a uboot payload that will do it all from a chip. But this ended in complete failure due to lack of IRAM space. I felt a fool for even attempting it.

Oh! If you can send the ini via the PC, then thats a result. It isn`t something I have ever done. But then I am mostly out of date.

If the ini can be set up over USB, then that is all good!

I didn`t know that.

Yeah it's possible, I think, at least on memloader readme.txt file says its possible. But for some reason I don't get a new disk driver on my PC...

"A simpler way to load coreboot/other AArch64 payloads is to use https://github.com/rajkosto/memloader and either put the files on microsd or use the --dataini parameter
After that, you can use imx_load as you would on Linux (Windows binaries available here)"

How I'm suppose to use imx_load???

OK. It is quite involved. There is a thread how to do it... However, you need to downgrade to 6.1.

Take a look here.

But first, you need to get your BIS keys


OK...

Now you need to do the following... I`m going to be brief as there are tuts on this site...

1) You need to get your BIS keys... Use BISKeydump... Use a QR code reader and email the keys to yourself.

2) You need memloader and the sample files. Run memloader and you need the emmc.ini (this allows access from USB to your emmc)

3) You need Hacdiskmount... You then need to mount your switch (UMS LINUX disk) in hacdiskmount and check your key entropy is good (this means the keys are correct that you emailed to yourself)

4) There will be a partition called PRODINFO. You need to dump this using hacdiskmount and you keys that you emailed to yourself.

5) Have a look at prodinfo in a hex editor... If you see CAL0 at the start, you can assume it is good.

5a) If you see 8008580085 or whatever repeated, you have a pikabricked unit and is only usable for parts sadly. Unless a PRODINFO bypass gets developed.

I know it is information overload. Don`t try to take it all in in one night. Take your time.

On step 2, using the SD Card with the ini+boot files, what I'm suppose to choose from the menu?
ums_emmc.ini or --- Go to usb command mode instead ---???

edit:
selecting ums_emmc.ini stays like this:

Selecting --- Go to usb command mode instead --- stays like this and the try count is always going up:

Any help? I'm missing something?

Do you have the samples folder on there?

Yes

Since I couldn't get that working, I'm dumping rawnand with hekate payload, but is slow af... I'm interested in using the USB mode of memloader so I can check if is bricked or not without having to wait 2 or 3 hours...
