The tutorial is more like

Setup EmuMMC, From SX to Atmosphere and keep using the both worlds.

If the moderator by any chance to come here, could you please change the title? Thanks.


YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

There is always at least a risk to get you banned or unlikely to brick your Switch.
YOU'RE AT YOUR OWN RISK
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES OR BAN.

You can use your current setup of SX's Emunand (hidden partition on the SD) to boot Atmosphere's Emummc using this tutorial. This will be considered as dual emunand booting. Take advantage of the both worlds.

CLEAN UP SYSNAND
> Skip this step if you're using SX's Emunand and being online on Sysnand.
> If you didn't have any previous clean nand backup before
You have no choice here to clean up a dirty nand without a clean nand backup but to believe in this method
> Stop here if you don't want to hurt yourself or even me
​

Spoiler: PRESS

Skip this step if your Switch is a brand new one or never ever been hacked.

CREATE EMUNAND AS HIDDEN PARTITION ON SD
> If you're SX Users and have been using their Emunand as hidden partition, just skip this step, go to COPY FILES
> Take advantage of SX Emunand creator (without valid license needed)
> Your SD will be formatted, backup your savedata and other data are needed.

Spoiler: PRESS

Before creating emunand > Ensure you did delete all WIFI connections and turned on Airplane / Flight mode

Go to SX website > download their latest boot.dat > copy to the root of your SD
Download payload.bin for activating payload via your chosen tools

SX OS Bootloader Menu
> Options
> EmuNAND
> Create EmuNAND
> Hidden Partition on microSD

You will get "successfully done"

COPY FILES

Spoiler: PRESS

Go to Atmosphere GitHub and download the latest release 0.9.0 and extract all files/ folders to the root of your SD

Create > emummc folder on the root of the SD

Create > emummc.ini file inside of emummc folder

Copy and paste this to emummc.ini

[emummc]
emummc_enabled = 1
emummc_sector = 0x2
emummc_nintendo_path = Emutendo <<< delete this line if you're not SX Users or don't want to keep using SX as your primary CFW

I got banned from ReSwitched discord because of Emutendo word. I'd like to help someone out but ended up in unexpected way. But it's okay.

Hope this will help out.
Enjoy!

Factory reset doesn't do your homework.

At least, none got banned using my method in previous tutorial.

I really hope people don't treat you the way you're treating this guy IRL. Imagine getting a fact wrong and getting promptly shit on, instead of helping them come to an understand as why it was incorrect.
You seem like a very toxic individual. I hope you find peace with whatever is bugging you.

I have nothing against him just pointing out his error, as error logs that get people ban is stored on the system partition, doing a factory reset on the system just wipe the user partition, that why people only recommend restoring clean nand backup, if people can unban themselves by factory resetting then everyone would be doing it. Not like I'm attacking him, other people would correct him also anyway.

It doesn't clear logs so you don't need to lies, developers confirmed that already.

Prove that the error logs will be somewhere after factory restore settings. Quote me and I will update as soon as possible. Thanks heaps.

You don't need to convert to Atmosphere EmuMMC. Follow the COPY FILES

Go to Atmosphere GitHub and download the latest release 0.9.0 and extract all files/ folders to the root of your SD

Create > emummc folder on the root of the SD

Create > emummc.ini file inside of emummc folder

Copy and paste this to emummc.ini

[emummc]
emummc_enabled = 1
emummc_sector = 0x2
emummc_nintendo_path = Emutendo

Hayato is correct; anyone with half a mind on how the switch works will know the following:
1]Cleaning logs does bs unless you've had your switch offline since using CFW.
2]Even then relating to point one, Nintendo checks for continuity in the logs.
3]Just cause you clean it doesn't mean you're 100% safe.
4]Only known 100% safe way is to use untouched pre-CFW NAND.
5]There's no bullet proof way to adjust logs and etc, don't attempt it.
6]Factory reset doesn't touch the logs.

STOP spreading mis-information as it may end up getting people banned either straight away or down the line, Hayato is correct; accept you've mis-informed and don't be ignorant.

Either way credits on the tutorial just fix the mis-information, be more open to criticism and learn rather than being arrogant; I'm a fair person thus why I still give you credit for the guide but you NEED to fix the mis-information, a CLEAN NAND is 100% better than CLEARING LOGS, that NINTENDO CHECKS for continuity.

Btw here's a fact, you CAN'T CLEAN A DIRTY NAND.

 

[Niels Van Son]

Actually, I have a few questions.

So, I have a clean, pre-CFW 5.1.0 full backup on my nand that I'm about to restore on my switch. I checked the fuses, all is good (I upgraded to 6.2.0 without burning the fuses but I don't really recall how because I don't remember undergoing the painful process of ChoixdujourNX).

Once that's done, I should be able to go online again. Thing is, I'll still be on 5.1.0, and I would like to update to 8.0 without having to burn the fuses on OFW ; So my questions are : Can I get banned when booting from hekate and autorcm to atmosphere to avoid the fuse check ? And either way, how could I go online without having to worry about burning fuses ?

This may not be the best place to ask that, but since it's somewhat related to the subject of the thread, I thought I would seek some help there.

Thank you !

Imagine getting a fact wrong and getting promptly shit on, instead of helping them come to an understand as why it was incorrect.

The first post was trying to help the OP to understand, problem was he refused to be helped. It went downhill from there.

I find passive aggressiveness to be way more toxic.

 

[thaikhoa]

Just edit the CLEAN UP NAND part with warning and "factory restore settings" by delete everything for the console to enter to the initial stage.

There is no way to clean up a nand if you don't have any clean backup on the first hand and without in offline mode all the time. Once you connected online, there is no way and never to clean mystery trace from Nintendo.

The important part here is that have you ever connected to the Internet?
Yes > The sync between your backup nand and the current nand won't match at all, that could lead to a ban (none in my experience)
No > Follow the instructions of ChoiNX and update your firmware to the latest one with autorcm enabled to protect the fuse
You can choose either factory restore settings using ChoiNX or follow this tutorial (updated).

It's up to you, as there won't be a proper trusted method to clean a nand even delete everything or rebuild a nand from scratch (as many people stated that)

FYI, the current release of Atmosphere won't support autorcm on boot to EmuMMC. You will have to wait for 0.9.1.

CREATE EMUNAND AS HIDDEN PARTITION ON SD


it is mandatory to do this option ?
or I can create for not hide emunand

Yes it is mandatory as Atmosphere EmuMMC currently only works on hidden partition on the SD.

 

[LapCheong]

Great guide! Although I think safest way is still pre-cfw nand. But you made your point! If there is no clean nand and manually creating a nand is not your thing. I guess the best thing next is the empty out the system partition and hope for the best. Obviously if you ever when online with cfw without dns or incognito. You are screwed LOL

Chill out guys!

 

[Zumoly]

I'd like to see an option in the emunand where all info gets removed. That way we can connect and homebrew all we want without worrying about a ban. At this point I just want emunand to free myself from using a jig. But as a multiple SD card user, I'm double thinking about this.

On first place, thanks to do this guide, the most easy steps for novice users, I gona try to recopile the steps to create hidden partition without SX tools and send to you for add to the guide.

Respect to clean dirty Switch I should say that Zekenator (sorry @Hayato213) are right, one of the files (and more, but atleast one on clean Switch) on save directory act as container for telemetry logs, if you delete it or alter some data that are alreally synced with N servers this Switch gona get banned because they can detect the differences of local and synced logs, including the log count.

For now didn't exists a proper and safe method to clean a dirty nand, this bans are launched on waves, so on the next waves these Switchs are on risk to get banned.

You forget that kip patches are required, I upload both for users that can't build them (require devkitpro, python 2.7, make, etc etc...). Both files are ready for use (I put both on the correct path for hekate and atmosphere load), just extract on the root of your SD card and mantain the same structure.

Just because you don't immideately understand a concept doesn't give you a free pass to be rude. I respect your opinion on passive-agressiveness, however ironic it may be.

You seem to have double standards, the OP was rude first.

Why are you being so defensive? I was accusing him of being passive aggressive, not you.

Just because you didn't immediately understand my post doesn't give you a free pass to be rude.
