Homebrew RELEASE ChoiDujourNX - a system firmware installer homebrew for the Nintendo Switch

Hi, just a quick question, I made a nand backup (7.0 FW at the time), and have recently updated to 8.0 FW via ChoiDujourNX, let's say if I wanna restore my nand backup, do I have to downgrade to 7.0 FW first...?

BTW can you tell me you let the AUTORCM option ( before start flashing) enabled or you disabled it?
10x

No, not if you have back ups of your 7.0 boot 0 and 1 as well

Use the manual method. https://guide.sdsetup.com/usingcfw/manualchoiupgrade

ChoiDujour doesn't support 6.2+, I also have a defective touchscreen. In the time I wasted trying to get it to work with 7.0.1 I could've already wrote in controller support to ChoiDujourNX and created a PR if it was open source. Thanks @rajkosto !

Hey guys. A little bit out of the scene but I went from 5.1 to 7.0.1, my switch completed the installation successfully, but now when I go to launch my switch, the payload is successful but doesn't get past the Nintendo screen. Just black from there. I've updated my sdfiles (I think?) through sdsetup and am running atmosphere 0.8.7. Can someone help?

edit: nevermind. figured it out. ok if you run into this problem, you have an exfat sd card and you selected the non-exfat installation in choi. so you need to either grab another microsd card and put on the necessary files, or backup and clear off ur current one (and format it to fat32) and reinstall the 7.0.1 WITH exfat. once your done you can set your card back up or just use your other one if you had two. enjoy!

Hi bro, I'm having this problem. Could you elaborate the method to fix it? Because I don't really know what you mean with reinstall because I can't access the nro anymore. Thanks!

Reformat the SD card to FAT32 if you haven't already.

If someone could help me out. I missed the 7.X.X FW update so I'm still on 6.2. My SX PRO is V2.6.2. I want to update my Emunand to 7.X.X but the current update goes automatically to 8.0.

My question is...is there a way to somehow update my FW to 7.X.X? and if so How?

Use this app as well as find the firmware files online. You will receive no assistance or links here as those files are treated the same as ROMs.

 

[fordthegod]

so which version is prefered these days? can i go straight from 6.2 to 7.1 using ChoiDujourNX without problems?

How would you do so if the update is currently at 8.0?

ChoiDujourNX doesn't pull the update files from the Internet. You give it firmware files to install.

I figured..so how do I go about getting the 7.X firmware from?

I hope he can add an option to skip this hekate.ini backup thingy. Always restoring the old one when you update is kinda tedious.

Doesn't matter unless you're running a VERY old version of hekate.

Ah you are right, this doesn't look into the bootloader folder correct?

Hello, I want to know a thing, I downloaded firmware update from a certain ftpserver and I want to know if it is normal that I have .nca in my 8.0.0.zip and folders in my 8.0.1.zip ?
In the first 8.0.1's folder there is a file "00" (without extension)
If I am correct, to update we have to place those files in SD://updates/*firmwarefolder*/
But the first time I did it, there were only files.
