Hello, Ive a problem, few days ago I tried to update my switch 9.2.0 to 10 using choidujournx but at the end I got errors with pkg installation (it was written) and choidujournx said 100% so I reboot and I got black each time I boot with all method
So I restored my nand backup, and all is fine now

But I want to update my switch, what should I do ?

You get legit 10.0 FW files and do a fresh atmos install after, easy as that. I went from 9.1 to 10 with choi without a single problem. Also make sure to have either f32 sd or just don't forget to choose exfat when updating with choi.

I forget to precise that all files are updated.

If you got a blackscreen when you booted it's because your sd card is formatted as exfat and you chose the fat32 version of fw 10 when preforming the switch install.

The "error" you likely saw was the prompt for autorcm being on or disabled.

Just do it again because Choi won't install files that are bad, and atmosphere does not block fw updates.

I always choose Exfat update and my sd card is in FAT32

Maybe you used a version of AMS which prevented BIS writing?
you might need to add flags to allow homebrew to get write access to that area.

enabling BIS writing is considered dangerous and why write access has to be manually restored.
you might want to delete that authorization once not needed.

old:
create a new "flags" folder in sd:/atmosphere/
and a new empty file named hbl_bis_write.flag in it like this :
sd:/atmosphere/flags/hbl_bis_write.flag

more (outdated?) info
https://switch.homebrew.guide/usingcfw/manualupgrade#step-2-allow-choidujournx-to-write-to-bis
note : hbl_bis_write.flag. <-- the last dot is NOT part of the flag filename, it's the end of the sentence.


new? I'm not sure if it superseded the old file method, or is just another way to do it.
edit the file sd:/atmosphere/config/system_settings.ini
add (or edit) :
enable_hbl_bis_write = u8!0x1

I retried using your settings and nothing change, but before I took a screenshot in the app

thanks for taking the time to try, even if you already had a working setup (you restored a backup and updated officially right?).

I'm sorry I don't know what the problem is with these safe PKG.
I really thought the BIS protection was the problem.

I don't know if these errors are related to bis or not.
which did you try? both flag file and settings?

I edit in settings because I saw a line where it is already written

so it seems related to BIS ?
try to remove the setting from atmosphere config file ? maybe it would show a proper error in choixNX instead of crashing?
then try the file flag, instead of the setting? well, if you are still willing to do some tests, but that would be nice to have a solution to help more users.

there's also the new AMS setting to hide/mitm prodinfo, but it shouldn't be enabled by default as it's still in beta phase.

I tried both setting and flag
If I remove atmos setting, i have to configure them another time, what should I activate/turn on?

The BIS protection is not supposed to be permanently disabled, to prevent console bricking by malware homebrew (there were one released few months ago, disguised as a leaked Pokemon game).

if you already tried both file flag and settings, then I don't know what the problem could be.
it still seems related to a BIS access as the app crashes on these steps (or just after?).

Maybe someone else will have more ideas or know the exact issue you are having.

To be sure, flag have to be in
Sd:\\ atmosphere\flag ?

It chashes at the BIS testing 1/6, directly

    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.

    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.
