Hacking Removing SD card with AutoRCM?

[oBluEx]

Is there a specific way to do this? I want to add OpenRCT to my SDcard.

Should I sleep mode and remove the SDcard and will it still be in RCM when I do so?

You can remove it anytime.

You can power off your switch. AutoRCM has nothing to do with the micro sd.

if you set your switch to auto rcm then turn it off, reboot to rcm, use a payload, then you can remove your SD card and add OpenRCT

RCM isn't dependent on the SD card. Your system, when it boots, will shut off if it detects the SD card has been removed in any case, so you might as well just shut it off, eject SD card and do SD card stuff, then pop it back in, boot back up (which will be in AutoRCM), and inject the payload - done deal.

If you want to properly eject your SD Card, you need to hold the Power Button and Shutdown your Console. After you inserted the SD Card again, you need to tap the Power Button and then inject your Payload.

Thank you all! I wasn't sure if it would be an issue removing the card while Auto-RCM was enabled.

I appreciate the help from you all!

You forgot.. If you shut it down and autoRCM will drain battery faster. Put it in sleep mode. If you want to remove SD.. Shut it down and remove SD and reinsert it back when you are done for the transfer. Then go to payload and put it in sleep mode to save the battery drain.

You forgot that Atmosphere added propper Shutdown since 0.8.4. And ALWAYS Shutdown your Console before you remove your SD Card.

Or reboot to hekate before removing sd card.

Depends on the File Size no need to stay 10 - ??? min in Hekate. But Useful if you have no Dongle or too Lazy to inject the Payload. = )

Mostly for people who are lazy to inject

When it Shutdown. It won't drain the battery anymore just like a normal Switch OFW shut down ?

Yes.

 

[crazy_p]

Yes it should behave like in OFW.

 

[spotanjo3]

Yes.

What is the properly way ? Just press Power down until it pop up on the screen and click to shut down ? I will not worry about drain battery anymore if I leave it alone for weeks ?

Before I jailbreaked it.. It was in the storage room for over 6 months and battery was drain only few percents off. I got 97 or 95 percent in 6 months, amazing. Will this allow me to do the same ?

*sigh* No, you can't just remove at any time. You don't ever want to remove an mSD after horizon has booted. This includes the OS sleep mode where the RAM could still be accessing the card. You should either power off completely or have ams reboot to hekate that will only init a card when told.

It drains battery because your switch enter RCM. With latest Atmosphere you simply shutdown from the reboot menu and it won't enter RCM afterwards. To check if your not in RCM, simply attach your switch to your computer or power adapter. If it turns on normally, it's not in RCM and if it stays black after giving power to your switch, it's in RCM.

I am not noob but I want to understand this one. Mine is already in autoRCM. Shutdown it through atmosphere will still drains battery because my Switch enter RCM no matter what, right ?

Nope. Shutdown from atmosphere will shut it down properly even with autoRCM, so it won't reboot back automatically as it used to.
