Hey guys,
a quick noob question here because i get mixed information on the internet:

I have an "old" model which is cracked by fusee. now i would like to use the online features.

Is it sufficient to "jusT" boot normal and install a game i purchased officially to not be able to be banned?
Do i have to worry about burning fuses? I read that when booting the switch checkes the amount of burned fuses for each firmware. if i update by conjour without burning fuses the boot process checkes for the fuses as well and "reburns" them which makes downgrading not possible anymore.

Is this true? Can i play online without having to worry if i just remove the sd card and buy the game officically?

Thank you :)

Hi guys, quick n00b question:

Can someone provide me old joy-con (joy-con toolkit extracted) dumps please, or lins to them?
Can't find there nowhere.

Got this switch, joy-cons already updated, seems to me more of a software problem but I have no dumps for them.
Yet I've seen here and there that they are all the same, just a serial number to change.

Regards.

G.

The guide assumes that the latest firmware can be hacked via CFW which is not the case at the current time but is usually the case. Anyway, you can ignore that step altogether or substitute it with a game cartridge.

Restore a NAND backup. I consider Kefir to be malware.
So I have to ? Because it's been a while since I made a backup of my system and I don't remember if I made one before and after I updated to 8.10 before I used Kefir.

Hi guys!
I really need help. I tried to restore my "clean" NAND, but the system cannot boot afterwards. It shows Nintendo logo, then
" An error has occured, error code: 2002-4686 "
and on the bottom (x1) my serial number x(2) 6.2.0
I suppose my clean nand had older system version than my CFW currently had.
How can i upgrade my switch OFW, without breaking clean backup?

I did a system update yesterday on my sysMMC to 9.1.0. All was fine. Booted back into emuMMC to do some other stuff. Still fine. Now I'm trying to launch stock sysMMC from hekate but it just reboots and takes me back to Hekate every time. What happened and how can I fix this? emuMMC still works.

Because Kefir is a type of malware, yes.

What format is your SD card? And what version of CFW are you using?

Hekate does not support firmware 9.1 yet.

I don't understand. I put my backup on 64 exFAT sd card and restored the system on switch. It doesn't boot. My backup was a year old -version 6.2 but . I ran CFW 7.x.x on switch but i'm not sure...

Dang that stinks. I hate how I couldn't wait to play Bloodstained and used it. I don't think I did a backup before I used it sadly. Fudge. I'm going to double check but doesn't that mean that the save files for the account Kefir made will be deleted? At least it was only 2 games but damn don't want to redo everything in Pokémon again. But I guess as long as I can it se pkhex and get those Pokémon back I guess it's not a total loss.

Have a new HDD formatted to exfat. Is it ok to use for SX OS if there’s other files on it, pics music, docs, etc? Will XCI and nsps need to be on the root?

Hey, noob questions.

I have been avoiding burning fuses by performing Sysnand updates via ChoiDujourNX (so I can downgrade my Switch in the future) because I heard that Untethered coldboot could be possible for Switch <3.0.1, but is it ever going to happen?

Also, the update nag shows up every time I launch a game even though I am on the latest firmware. This is super annoying and I'm afraid I'll eventually press "Yes" by accident when the prompt shows up. Does this happen because I update Sysnand via ChoiDujourNX?

Should I just stop caring about avoiding burning fuses and update Sysnand without using ChoiDujourNX?

Also, If I update Sysnand from 9.0.1 to 9.1.0 without ChouDujourNX, will it disable Auto-RCM? Do I need to prepare a jig?

@Draxzelex If I update my sysNand to 9.1 to go online, I won't be able to go on my emuNand because Hekate isn't updated. But with atmosphere updated to work with 9.1.0 it should only be a matter of time.

My question is, I will still be able to use hekate feature to autoRCM so I don't burn fuse after teh update and be able to go online but have to wait for hekate to enter my 8.10 emunand. Right?

I have huge problems getting Atmosphere/Kosmos to work on my Switch.
I always used SX OS before, but I decided to make a fresh emummc on a new SD card.
However, Hekate won't boot into anything. When I start the emummc, I see the AtlasNX/Kosmos splashscreen and then the Switch turns off. Strangely enough, Hekate won't even boot my regular sysnand, which can be started without RCM just fine.
- Both my partitions (the files and the emummc partition) are FAT32
- My sysnand firmware is 4.1.0
- The only files on the SD are the files from here: https://sdsetup.com

Is there anything I can try to make this work?

The console does not support exFAT out of the box. Its a separate update that has to be either downloaded online or installed via homebrew. Not to mention that exFAT is notoriously unstable on the Switch and there is no reason to be using exFAT. Format the SD card to FAT32.

I suppose this post was made before CFW was updated to support firmware 9.1 but you can now update to the latest firmware without burning fuses. Also ChoiDujourNX automatically enables AutoRCM when it installs a firmware. More precisely, since the firmware installation will overwrite whatever is in BOOT0 AutoRCM or not, it only matters if you enable AutoRCM during the installation or not.

@Draxzelex If I update my sysNand to 9.1 to go online, I won't be able to go on my emuNand because Hekate isn't updated. But with atmosphere updated to work with 9.1.0 it should only be a matter of time.

You will not be able to use Hekate to launch anything on firmware 9.1. But everything else should work with Hekate.
Will there be a problem if we keep emunand at 9.0.1 and update only sysnand to 9.1.0?
No

No
Okay but what should i even put on that SD card?
I used exFat to restore NAND on my console, the file was 30GB so i couldn't use FAT32.
I just want to go back to my clean OFW.

Hey guys, need some help to prevent something in the future. I attempted to update my CFW version on my ipatched switch to 9.0.1. After doing this, switch would not boot into CFW (there would be a black screen after atmosphere logo).

I jumped through some hoops trying to resolve, but nothing worked. Finally, I wiped my SD and put just the basics on the switch, atmosphere, hekate, hbmenu. After this I was able to boot into CFW 8.0.x again.

I decided to attempt the update to 9.0.1 again with ChoiDujourNX. I was able to do the reboot and it showed 9.0.1 (custom firmware). I booted into OFW after this for something (I was putting stuff on SD card). Upon booting into OFW, my OFW version was 9.0.1. This obviously makes my switch worthless to me, no homebrew, etc. I dont understand how this happened and was hoping someone could help me prevent it happening in the future. Thank you.

Hello everyone, i have a quick question.
I have tried to update Hekate and Atmosphere and now i can't boot my Sysnand cfw. I have a Sysnand cfw+ emunand cfw + stock setup. Whenever i try to boot a cfw with hekate it says: Failed to apply /nosighchk/ and failed to launch HOS. I have already tried to install the kosmos pack and nothing happens. Emunand cfw works fine if i boot it with fusee-primary. Any ideas? Thank you
