Im still using reinx, any reason to upgrade to Atmosphere?

If it ain't broke, don't fix.

Did you activate SX OS license before setting up EmuNAND? this was an issue for me, otherwise would suggest you ask in the SX OS forum, I figured out my issue from forums there

Yea I activated it before hand. I been to there forums and no luck.
One said convert SD emunand to hidden emunand manually using Linux VM or Cygwin which I have no idea on how and what to do.

This worked for me when I had problems with EmuNAND

- Inject the payload - the moment you inject it, hold + button on the switch, so you get to the SX OS again
- delete the emuNand via SX OS
- copy NAND backup onto SD card
- Copy license.dat, boot.dat and the backup of the nand to the root of sd card
- Inject the payload - the moment you inject it, hold + button on the switch, so you get to the SX OS again
- create the emunand
- set emunand to active
- reboot

Can you clarify which NAND backup on the 3rd step?
The original one which was dumped before any CFW?
I have 2 original NAND backups though. One used with Hekate and other was made using SX OS (without user and system partitions).
So is it sx os one with boot0/1 and full.00-07? If it is this then do i copy the folder named backup? (sxos\backup)

 

[LowEndC]

Not sure, there have been no dumps of any installed titles or system files (that I know of)

wrong section sorry

 

[Deleted User]

Hey LowEndC can you help me?

I used the NAND backup I created with SX OS, copied the file from backup folder to the root of the as card.. I found that info on sx os forums..

When i turn of switch pressing power, than turn off, switch is in rcm mode. After that using hekate and turn off switch, how to turn on switch? Do i need to press power or simply use tegra and payload? Xs os 2.53 and 5.1. Never do that, does someone try this to shutdown switch at all?

I take it you are using AutoRCM then? To turn on the Switch after you shut it down with Hekate, press the Power button once, then connect it to Tegra and send the Payload.

I recently updated from 5.1.0 SXOS to 6.2.0 SXOS.

Now I have the Controller Update nag.

Is it OK to update the controller? I don't care about downgrading. I'm completely happy with 6.2.0 SXOS.

Is there any downside to updating the controller?

It's fine unless you hard modded your joycon

 

[BahumatX]

okay so you restored both boot files

are you using the latest atmosphere/hekate

got the latest atmosphere and hekate and same problem

 

[jurai]

gonna ask a noob question, is there any guide similiar to https://3ds.hacks.guide on how to set everything up based on where your system is at firmware wise?

As long as you aren't on 7.0 (currently) or don't have an ipatched switch then the following guides will work depending on your CFW

• Atmosphere
• ReiNX
• SXOS

I would like to get my switch back to stock to go online, but only if I can keep my saves. I did a nand backup on 4.1 when it was new, softmodded and autorcm'd, then manually updated to 5, then later used choudijour to update to 6.1. It has never been connected to the internet and only played games from retail carts without any game mods. I've done some research on how to go about this:

Possible method A:

1. Backup saves with checkpoint
2. Restore 4.1
3. Boot CFW and restore saves with checkpoint
4. Clear error logs in hekate
5. Get online and update

Possible method B:

1. Backup current 6.1 nand
2. Restore 4.1
3. Copy saves from 6.1 nand backup (using hacdiskmount?)
4. Clear logs in hekate
5. Get online and update

I'd like to confirm which method (if either) would work and be easiest and obviously if I'm missing any steps. Thanks!

3. Copy saves from 6.1 nand backup to 4.1 using hacdiskmount (do not click format)
4. Get online and update

you do not want to clear logs, that is an instant ban flag, method A while easier will still leave traces of cfw which will be a ban flag

Method B) while slightly more complex doesn't leave traces of cfw, is the safest way of doing it... however we don't know what nintendo look for, so they might still ban you down the line

Hello. This is probably the most stupid question ever, but I have a nand backup from my clean unhacked state, but later on (about 3 hours) I made a boot1 and boot2 backup. Can I theoretically restore a backup with that or will it brick?

as long as the boot files match the firmware version
