Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[pLaYeR^^]

Hi All, I’m helping out a friend. He’s got a switch with serial number with Warning. If I try booting into RCM mode and inject Hekate. Will it brick the switch if it’s patched?

Thanks.

It will brick if you enable autoRCM.

It will brick if you enable autoRCM.

It's a stock Switch. I can't enable autoRCM if I can't boot into Hekate? If i can boot into Hekate means I can always enable/disable autoRCM?

Patched switches don't brick when you try to inject a payload. Nothing will happen when you inject the payload.

Thanks for the reassurance. I remember reading somewhere the older payloads will brick the switch.

No.

somebody help me plz. i was on atmosphere 0.9.3 or may be lower, and then i mistook press update system on switch. it then gave some fatal error but i upgraded into atm 0.9.4 and it's working again. then all my datas and games i installed on switch was corrupted. i deleted all old datas and try to install nsp but goldleaf doesn't let me be, it says invalid nca; i then try n1dus but it says error processing files. and i also try different nsp but still the same. did i miss something because this is the first time i upgrade atm, doing hex things on switch, it's a 2nd system and before i mistook update nintendo system, i was playing fine. also all i did to upgrade was like copy 3 folders (switch,sept,atmosphere) and place it on sd card to replace the older datas

Does any USB-C charger work fine with the official dock?

I installed ChoiDujourNX on my switch, allowing me to upgrade to 8.1 in order to be able to enjoy all the current titles available.

I get the message regarding "nogc patches". What does that mean, and how can I force those patches on my console?

I booted the console and I got a message: The game card could not be read.

Since I am using Reinx, I made a file named nogc on the reinx folder as instructed. Is that the reason that my games do not work?

Tinfoil gives me an error when trying to install an NSP file via USB.

FW 9.0.0
Atmosphere 0.9.4
NS_Usbloader.jar 0.8
fluffy.exe 2.9.2
tinfoil 0.2.1

So i can't get neither program to detect my switch when using the fluffy recommended tinfoil nro. fluffy appears to crash on startup (well not really crash but needs to be shutdown via task manager as it cripples my pc) Here is the log from NSUL
[ INFO ] Start chain
[ PASS ] libusb initialization
[ PASS ] Get device list
[ FAIL ] NS in connected USB devices not found
[ INFO ] Requested context close
[ INFO ] End chain

I don't seem to have issues with goldtree/leaf detecting the switch and tegra has no issues dumping payload. I havent installed any other windows drivers outside of the ones recommended for goldleaf from zadig and I havent yet tried getting it to work with aluminium foil (mostly because I have no interest in using it) I have tried running the terminal python scripts from the fluffy gbatemp thread but because it doesn't say the location to run those scripts, windows doesnt recognise the commands.

Is it possible to change my user icon to a custom picture? (fw 9.0/latest atmo etc)

When you say you deleted the game, did you remove the game you installed or the .NSP file on your SD card? Because if you do not remove both, then there will be space left on your SDcard.

Firmware versions 4.0 and 9.0 have updates for the game cartridge slot. These updates prevent it from being used on lower firmware versions. You can force these patches my making an empty file named "nogc" in the /ReiNX folder. However this will only affect retail game cartridges.

I recommend using Aluminum Foil with Tinfoil.

When downloading and installing .nsp files, do I have to install all of the updates, or just the most recent one?

Thanks

 

[rocky_2016]

i try a few weird ways and now i am able to install nsp. but due to re-format my sd card into fat32, i have troubles with size over 4gb( my recent format was exfat). i'm trying to use tinfoil to install nsp through nut network https://github.com/blawar/nut
i already install python 3.6.6 on my pc but i don't understand this part (make sure python opens up a Python 3 shell); and where is nut.conf to configure?
also, i don't see location in Tinfoil to add new like the guide said, my tinfoil is the lastest 4.10
ps:nevermind, i've done it already by using goldleaf and quark

I just deleted the xci game file installed on home menu. How can I delete the nsp update as well?

 

[Vorlertiz]

Would anyone recommend hbg to install nsp files?

I'm on 8.1 with Reinx (shows 0.0 on system version)

With the latest goldleaf i get error "2356-0009" when trying to install a nsp (over usb and from sd card). Does anyone know what it means? (Fw 9.0/atmo/kosmos with patches)

The latest one is fine.

Check Data Management under System Settings to make sure the update is still not installed to your system. Also make sure the .NSP file is not on your SD card physically.

The latest Goldleaf is version 0.7.3 so make sure you are using that one.
