Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Yojimbo001]

Hello guys!! I have a 2nd hand Switch with an exploitable serial no. coming from ebay but the seller has updated it to 8.1.0 before sale ,im going to do an auto-rcm atmosphere set up and im not too bothered with online play so im wondering will i set up a legit nnid and link it to the switch before i mod or would that be ill advised ??? secondly is it safe to have tinfoil/incognito and wifi on post mod if i block dns etc??? (this is my first mod since back in the days of bannerbomb so sorry for noob questions) thanks for your time.

Like I said, that's what the dock is for.

Yes, I will move the dock to a more accessible place.

But what is happening if the Switch died down out of battery (because I know it WILL happens even if I warned her) ?

Thank you

If it dies in Horizon, it probably won't be much of a headache. You will plug it into your computer and push a payload to get back into CFW.

If it dies fully, usually because it was accidentally put into RCM and left that way (RCM drains battery), then you might have to let it trickle charge for 30 minutes or an hour before it will be charged enough to enter RCM and accept a payload.

If it's within a game and died off, but with autorcm on, it will be the second option right? Unless there is a brick risk, it don't bother me too much.

If it dies while you're playing a game, it will probably be the first option.

There is no real brick risk either way. If it fully dies, it just might take awhile for it to charge enough to boot into RCM again.

My SD card now after update and remove ReinX

 

[reflash]

Hey guys,

i'm thinking of creating another partition for emunand purposes. However I made my nand-backup with Reinx in january and i keep reading that this kind of nand backup is not clean at all. Is there anything i can do about that? Or do i just have to deal with the risk of getting banned when playing online? Or is, fingers crossed, the reinx backup clean and safe to use?

Greetings

Thanks man, you should add a tip link, you are really helpful.

I have a "clean" sysNAND on 5.1. I recently got emuMMC and used Choidujoir to upgrade it to the current Switch version 8.1.0 w/o burning fuses (does fuse count even matter on emuNAND?). So my next question is, will I need to get prod keys off of my emuNAND at the higher firmware in order to run backups? And, if so, how do I do it since it looks like I can only run lockpick on RCM for higher versions (and running it from RCM only gets the prodkeys off my lower-version sysNAND, right?)? Or could I just use the prod.keys from my 5.1 backup I made before I even hacked my Switch?

I'm guessing I'll need to upgrade sysNAND to 8.1.0 (w/o burning fuses of course) to get the prodkeys off of that for my emuNAND. Then just restore my sysNAND back to its "clean" state. But I want to ascertain this is what I have to do before I do it since it'll take a bit more time. I'm not aware if there's an easier solution or not.

I recently bought a hacked switch with sx os license activated. I am waiting for my jig to arrive. Meanwhile I booted normally to check if everything works. I downloaded few demo games to check controls etc and everything works fine.

There is no nand backup. Can I take the backup now ? Also I won't play online so is it necessary to have emunand ?

You can make a backup now using Hekate. If you aren't going to play online, you do not need an emuNAND.

question. I've been reading alot into emunand,incognito and what not and i still can't find a definitive answer. say i download like mario maker 2 and i want to play it online and use its online feautures with emunand is this possible or would i need a store bought verion.

You cannot play online with a pirated game, and if you try, you will be banned.

No the problem is stemming either from your computer or USB cable. The fact that the payload isn't reaching your Switch isn't indicative of it being patched or not.

You can a list of Joy-Con pins and their respective functions here

Tried using a different cable. same results. nothing on the switch.
Tried using a different computer too. again, same results. nothing on the switch.

im genuinely baffled at this point as to what the problem could be.

Hey Is there a way to have your emuNAND online and not get that pesky reminder to update whenever I access a game? (ive accidentally updated in the past and would like to never experience that again)

Also is there a guide on terms when it comes to switch hacking? I'm getting lost understanding the differences between stuff like emuNAND sysNAND emuMMC etc...

If you are using Atmosphere, you can boot the stock emuMMC via Hekate to have the emuMMC online as safely as possible. As for a guide, you can find one here

Hey, everyone. I have installed Atmosphere, Renix and SXOS but i keep running into the same problem. After the Sept splash screen the console will not boot into CFW. Would be most grateful if anyone can help. Thanks

You cannot boot Atmosphere and ReiNX on the same SD card if the console's firmware version is at least 7.0. That is because both Atmosphere and ReiNX have their own sept folders needed to boot their respective CFW meaning you can only boot between ReiNX or Atmosphere after firmware 7.0.

I would highly recommend you link a Nintendo Account on the console as soon as possible since certain content requires a linked account such as the NES application, Super Mario Maker 2, Bloodstained, Mortal Kombat 11, Stardew Valley, etc. Also you do not need Incognito if you are using a DNS server to block Nintendo traffic. One or the other, or even Airplane Mode/removing Wi-Fi settings, is sufficient.

Unfortunately, the only thing I can recommend is temporarily updating your sysMMC to the latest firmware to get the latest keys via Lockpick_RCM. You can simply use the homebrew application ChoiDujourNX to update your sysMMC firmware without burning fuses so that you can restore your NAND backup without any issues. Although you typically do not need keys unless you are converting files on your computer or datamining games. You can even find the keys on Google if you know where to look.

It means there might be something wrong with your USB cable, computer, or both.

Tried using a different cable. same results. nothing on the switch.

Do you have an Android or rooted iOS device that you can try sending a payload with?

Paperclip jig issue : I got the no N screen two times (in 20 tentatives) but when I plug the usb cable, it boots normally. I guess it never went in RCM right?

You can try booting into RCM after plugging in the USB cable meaning use the paperclip while it is plugged into your computer. You can also try using aluminum foil (temporarily) for booting into RCM but do not use it for an extended period of time. Enable AutoRCM as soon as you boot into RCM.

 

[Trebuchet]

It's like the paperclip metal is too thick so it hit too much pins. I'll try the foil, it's just for the AutoRCM.

Thank you for your reply. I have modded the PS2 and WII in the past, but i am pretty terrible at this, so please bear with me. I've tried booting them individually. Tried Atmosphere as soon as the sept splash came up and the screen goes blank after that, then i formated the card and tried ReiNX but still the same result. My Swith is on 7.0. Using sandisk 64GB ExFAT. when booting the switch up the Switch prompts me to update in order to read the card. I dont wanna update it Incase of a ban occurring. Should i try Open partition wizard and format the SDcard to FAT32 so the Switch will boot Atmosphere after going into RCM? Once again sorry for the Noob questions
