Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

I assume that you are using hbg shop, which has no first party titles

Yes, it is indeed hbg shop. But what exactly do you mean by first party titles? All other Nintendo titles are there, as far as i can tell...

Guys, help me with this doubt please:

Some games have more than 1 patch/update available to download (example Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3). Do I need to install all of them or just install the latest one?
And it's the same for every game or there's exceptions?

Thanks

Just the latest, as it is cumulative.

Excellent, thanks for helping!!!

I'd like to play A link to the past on my hacked switch with the SNES app by nintendo. I'm using reiNX on patch 8.1. How do I do that?

Hi everyone,
just a noob question here, i have a day one switch which is running on SX OS 2.8 with 8.1 Emunand and OFW is 8.1 too , and i wish to buy the new model with longer battery life, i use checkpoint each day to backup saves, im not banned at all cos i never play or goes online, so is there a way to safely transfer important saves files like BOTW and some other and even my nintendo account from the hacked switch to the new one ? is it safe ? i guess i can try with the new migration tool , but i wonder if the nintendo Id and profile will be deleted on the hacked switch...
but if there is a safe way to transfer at least the most important saves , i'll be happy with that already ^^
thx a lot .

So I have a SysNAND Atmosphere CFW and want to switch to Emu/Sys system so I can play online. I've read that you can't have AutoRCM on when doing that, and have to jig it every time. Is there some secret simple way of switching between sysnand and emunand? Like restarting the console and choosing sysnand? Or just removing the SD card?

The SNES/NES library you get for buying online is available as a .nsp just like any other game, you just need to find it.

I found the .nsp now but I obviously can't start it, I'm banned/in airplane mode. What am I missing?

This would require a NAND backup from before CFW was ever put on the system. Assuming that exists, then backup your save data using Checkpoint, restore that NAND backup, create emuNAND, then restore your save data. From then on, you can boot from CFW->Stock by launching Kosmos toolbox -> Reboot -> Hekate -> Reboot now-> Launch -> Stock. With AutoRCM enabled, switching from stock->CFW will still require shutting down the switch and starting it via a payload injector.

Received two logs for both the bin and ini files I sent.

Requesting access to device...
Using uploaded payload "hekate_ctcaer_5.0.2.bin"
Preparing to launch uploaded...
Connected to NVIDIA Corp. APX

Is this the only confirmation it executed successfully or the is the fact hekate didn't launch with black screen mean my switch is patched?

if its patched, what can I do next to mod my console?

I am getting the same problem. But I know my switch isn't patched. It's ancient, and I have had it successfully hacked before. It is my understanding that the vulnerability was hardware and not fixable by Nintendo.

Probably burned a tonne of fuses but upgraded with choidujour from 5.0.1 to 7.0.1 few months back. Would it be possible to upgrade to 8.0.1 and then downgrade back to 7.0.1 or 5.0.1?

Few questions here as I'm a noob still:

1. Have ftpd running on switch and a FTP server running and ready for me to download the new Zelda from to my microSD card.

Problem is I cannot find a tutorial online as to how to specify the host credentials and access the directories to download the nsp.

Can somebody please point me in the right direction?

2. Using tinfoil I connect to my FTP with no specified path and go two directories deep to where my files are located, problem is it doesn't list the directory just showing this within the homebrew app instead:

Any idea why this is and how to resolve this problem?

**URGENT*** 3. Tonight I go to use my r4s dongle and jig to boot into RCM and notice there is no light on the dongle as well that its not booting plus that the Switch needs to be hard reset after doing so.

The r4s light is illuminated when its plugged into a micro usb cable, but will not come on with the push of the button on the dongle.

Not to mention it won't boot RCM.

***UPDATE*** It just booted into argon, but it took a couple mins as well there was no change of light or graphic on the switch screen.

Why would it be doing this?

4. Tinfoil won't show the contents of my microSD card after addition of a nsp and rar file, but Goldleaf does, how come?

 

[Draxzelex]

Actually I need some help... I'm using atlas and atmospher ... I have the hbmenu but I cannot get the new tinfoil to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Don't use DZFoil. Use either Goldleaf or Adubbz Tinfoil

Wait...
Lets say that I boot from hekate to clean sysMMC and update it to 9.0.0 (dirty emuMMC stays at 8.1.0).
You're saying that now I'll burn fuses if I boot to sysMMC from hekate?

(also sorry for the late reply)

You asked this question when there was no CFW support for firmware 9.0. Now there is support for firmware 9.0 so it is possible to update to that firmware without burning fuses.

Is there any way I can bypass the message ""The software data is not downloaded. it will be downloaded now"."?
My device is not connected to the internet. Should I allow it to connect and download the data even if I installed the files through nsp files?

Are you using ReiNX?

Most of the switch’s I can find seem to be xaw and these are patched but anyone have an idea of their firmware

Check this thread

Can u install firmware thru hekate? I fucked up my firmware in the middle of updating it and now I can only boot stock/hekate
I was going from 7.1 to 8.1 but didn't choose exfat to install so panicked and cancelled the install, it rebooted and no longer had firm. i updated the cfw pkgs and still can not boot, i am assuming i wiped or broke my cfw. how do i restore my cfw/firm back to what i need.

Ps.
many thanks for all the help this thread gives

Hekate has no support for installing firmware

How can I scan NSps with tinfoil before installing them? (to check for malicious code?) or does it do it automatically? thanks

I told you to not use DZFoil. It is closed-source so it may have its own malicious code.

The only way you can transfer that is with the local save data and User Profile transfer feature and that is only safe if you have not modified any of the save files that are being transferred.

So I just used goldfoil and it works great... But didn't seem to work with xci's though.

You can convert your .XCI files to the .NSP format with 4NXCI

Tonight I go to use my r4s dongle and jig to boot into RCM and notice there is no light on the dongle as well that its not booting and that the Switch need to be hard reset after trying so.

It booted once after i gave up and set down Switch. The screen was black and then a minute later it was displaying argon.

Whats going on?

This needs to be resolved asap as I cannot use RCM.

 

[Teletron1]

im on 8.01
hekate ATMOSPHERE i believe??

but i think i am missing files as when i load files to my sd card ( i have to manually fix the sd card archive nintendo-bit in the menu each time

it says i don't have a bootloader.ini file
please see attached images


if you can let me know what i am missing and where do add these files or settings to use that would be helpful

there is a section where i can run fuseee. and that loads the nintendo os

Copy hekate_ipl.ini to the bootloader folder on your SD card

the light kicks on once it detects the switch in rcm make sure you are inserting the jig then hold volume+ (keep it pressed) and tap the power button

On the switch or is that a pc software?

Sorry for my lazyness... I'll Google it.
