I believe you might be using sigpatches from fusee-primary but launching into Atmosphere with Hekate, and that's why you can't install NSPs. About the issue booting with fusee-primary, make sure your CFW and your fusee-primary.bin files are updated, that also might be the issue.

I'm using the latest atmosphere sigpatches. does fusee-primary have sigpatches? I can't boot into fusee-primary because it crashes everytime I try to push the payload.

Scandal, I just installed Incognito with Incognito_RCM and it seems to be everything fine. I have made a backup from my prodinfo file. Can I remove it from my SD, or should I just let it there?

Keep a copy somewhere safe on your PC. If you never run it on SysNAND you won’t even need the backup. There’s no point leaving it on the SD card.

As I said, there are two types of sigpatches: the ones used when you boot into Atmosphere using fusee-primary.bin (what I believe you're using) and the ones used when you boot into Atmosphere using the "launch" option in Hekate.

What I believe you can do is either: a) find Hekate's sigpatches (I don't have the links as I never used them); or b) load Atmosphere with fusee-primary.bin.

You said you're having issues injecting fusee-primary payload. Make sure you're using the latest version, from here: https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/tag/0.13.0

hello,

I'm trying to use ChoiDuJour to update my firmware for my Switch (it doesn't load Atmosphere because I downgraded mistakenly). I'm on Step 4 in the manual where I need to convert my firmware files but when I input my keys, I get an error in cmd (see image)

Are my keys incompatible or is it something else? Do I need to get new keys and if so, how can I do that if only Hekate will boot?

Hi all

Finally i could install the .xci reformatted and installed it all over again .

Using Awoo installer to install the games , but when trying to start the games it ends up "Could not start software"

Never seems to be working :=))

Tried to install both to sdcard and internal , same error ?

Maybe you should try using ReiNX instead.

ChoiDujour seems to have issues when there are a lot of keys it doesn't recognize. Open your keys file and edit it such that only the keys listed here are remaining.

Im down to 1 game that wont work , can live with that , the other games needed some updating with the games .nsp.

When a game is installed , shouldnt the /atmosphere/titles/ be updated with the games that are installed ?
Or they are in another folder ?
Trying to add some cheats for those games...

Where did you get the keys from?

No that folder is not automatically updated as you have to make the subfolders yourself for whatever games you're trying to modify.

Might be worth creating a fresh dump with Lockpick_RCM.

Yes, I thought about that but I cannot launch Atmosphere at all. Only Hekate.

Any way to completely wipe a switch back to factory settings: firmware and all?
I mistakenly downgraded my Switch firmware to 1.0.x or something and now it won't boot at all and I can't seem to get ChoiDuJour to work on my PC. All I can do it boot Hekate and that's it (I have no back-up)

You don't need to launch Atmosphere to use Lockpick_RCM.

Ah sorry, I see now.

I took the new keys and the difference was that I was missing a few more master_key_#s
However, I am still getting errors. No more corrupted issues, now just something else.

ChoiDujour only supports up to firmware 6.2

Oh, I just read the image and it says I'm on 10.0.4! I thought I accidentally downgraded it to 1.0 or something. I don't really need ChoiDuJour if I'm on the 'right' firmware.

That said, I cannot seem to get atmosphere or OFW to launch whatsoever. Any help troubleshooting this as I have the latest atmosphere installed.

I see , but did install the app Cheats Updater , it runs trough the games and update , i thought this was the cheats , or i need to unzip the contents.zip and add it t the folder?

No the image says the firmware you are feeding ChoiDujour is 10.0.4 which is not supported. ChoiDujour says nothing about the firmware that is currently installed on your system.

I am sorry but I am not familiar with that tool. It might be wise to ask in the thread where you got that program.

Any way to check the current firmware of my switch (hekate only of course)

Just notifying you that my Switch successfully down(up)graded.
In the final step, it says to:

1. In Hekate, navigate to Tools > Archive bit - AutoRCM > Unset archive bit
   
   
2. Return to the main menu, then select ‘Launch > FS_XXX-exfat_nocmac_nogc’ where XXX is the firmware version you downgraded to.
   
   
3. Make sure your system successfully boots
   

However, when I boot it through exfat_nocmac_nogc, it does not boot. When I traditionally boot to Atmosphere, it boots fine.
