Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Draxzelex]

I used the one in Hakete. It creates it in the folder, and it reads the BOOT0 and BOOT1 files when it is going to overwrite them, but not when trying to restore them.

Are they in /backup/(emmc serial number)/restore?

However you always run the risk of getting banned when using a hacked console. The only way to ever be risk-free is to have a clean NAND dump made before running CFW/homebrew. Without that, you will never be able to go online without risking a ban.

In the case it launched CFW without making a NAND backup first what would you recommend in order to get a clean NAND backup? I didn't really do anything more than launching Homebrew Launcher in CFW and then using OFW for like ten seconds (but i hadn't turn on airplone mode). I haven't used OFW again and did a backup, but i think it's pointless if it was after using cfw. I read that formatting the switch in ofw and doing a NAND backup directly after that should give me a clean NAND, is that true?

What kind of backup i need for Atmos EmuNAND? Full emmc raw gpp or gpp partitions (sys/user)

You can't ever recover a clean NAND backup if you launched CFW/homebrew before dumping the NAND. Its also well known that factory resets do not prevent bans as plenty of people have been banned even after performing one so it is not going to help create a clean NAND either.

EmuNAND doesn't use pre-dumped contents. It dumps and converts them live during the installation process.

Atmos EmuNAND? I think i read on their 0.9 update github page that for the making of EmuNAND, just use the tools from Hekate.

So what, would the new update create the EmuNAND by itself?

No, its going to work exactly how would make it in SX OS. You have an option in the bootloader menu, in this case it would be Hekate, to create an EmuNAND. You then customize what type of EmuNAND you want as well as any other options they offer then it makes it.

Is it currently possible to install atmosphere without a jig? If so what is needed?

For first use you need a jig and then you can install autoRCM. Or use a warm boot exploit if your switch is on a low firmware.

So I've got my swtich on 6.2 with an older atmos version. Made a backup of everything when I started (only had a small SD so many parts). I never went online after using hekate.
What's smart: updating the switch to ofw 8.1 to go online and having emummc on 6.2 for occassoinal nsp usage? Or keep the firmware on 6.2 and updating the emummc to 8.01 for newer games...
Or am I saying something stupid...

 

[Iamapirate]

can someone explain the dongle to me? I get the need for an RCM jig but the dongle, is it necessary? what does it do?

If your backup is clean, you can restore it, update your SysNAND for online purpose and create emuMMC. I would personally update emuMMC, if possible, to 8.0.1 because I care about latest games.

You need a way to inject a payload. You need the Jig to enter RCM and a dongle where the payload itself is located. Of course it doesn't have to be a dongle. You can also use your computer or smartphone to inject the payload.

You can download DLCs as NSP and install them like a game.

I see, so the dongle is moreso for when you aren't at a computer?

Yeah. You could also use a smartphone. In addition, you could install a modchip in your switch where the payload is located. Then you don't need a jig anymore. But therefore you have to hardware mod your switch.

I assume you have to repeat this process everytime the Switch shuts down?

Thanks for the info. very helpful!

Yes. But after first boot to hekate you can install autoRCM and don't have to use a jig anymore. If you don't want to hardmod your switch, you will still need a dongle.

My own Nintendo switch was produced in September 2018, but rcm is available. Is there a case like this, or is cfw possible?

 

[Iraito]

I just bought a switch (XAJ700138 hackable right ?) and like every nintendo's console i bought in the past i'm planning to hack it, i just printed two different jigs, they seems to touch different pins, are the ones i printed actually effective\well done ?

Only because you can enter RCM, doesn't mean that it's not patched. You can try inject a payload. If your console reboots or the screen stays black, it's patched.

Yes, it's hackable.

I've been having trouble getting new game installs to work recently. It started after I installed an update for Skyrim, after that some games I had installed stopped loading and just said try to load again from the home menu. Deleting the tickets in goldleaf solves this, but any new installs don't load if I install them to sd card. It just asks me to set up my internet settings and refuses to load, but they work fine if installed to the system memory. Any ideas whats wrong?
