yes

Can you boot Hekate using SX?
Like booting Hekate via chainloading, i'm not interested in cfw via Hekate as Atmosphére currently only RCM exploitable devices supports.

not at this moment for Hekates boots all firmwares claims in every new update (including this weeks)
it ironically cannot boot on all cfw as it still doesnt supprt sx core

Oh, well i'll just wait then.

Hello i am getting my Lite with SX Lite today. Somebody on a german Forum buidl it in, Sorry for my bad english.
I Have 2 RCM Seitch but with the not combatible software im a little bit confused.
Is it right first things to do :

1. Nand Backup with SX OS
2. EmmuNand (Partition) with SX OS
3. Lockpick only woks as nro to get the biskey (Masterkeys are not so important right)
4.Incognito works only as nro and wu should onyl use it in EmuNand.

Did i forget something, maybe 90 DNS?

THX. Dont want to brick my newly switch.

I too would like to know if Incognito works on a lite. Seems like there are varying reports.

i thnk you need to downgrade you emunand to fw 8.2, then use incognito.nro by blawar

incognito.nro works on latest firmware, but do not use it on sysnand. Only using on emunand is safe.

@satanicangel can we update the OP with this information?

@HenryMin - on the latest firmware as well? Or is it as @kickmeh says and you have to downgrade (which I didn't even think was possible on Lite unless you had a backup and you had avoided burning fuses)?

Do not downgrade. It can brick your emunand. In my case, my emunand bricked when I downgrade under 8.1.1

ah ok clear info, for me on 8.2 it was ok, i still can boot my emunand

What is the lowest possible firmware on a Mariko 2019 Switch? And what will happen if you downgrade under that version? Brick?

i can tell you 6x.xx boots

 

[3DSBricker]

Nice. Imagine that the Mariko 2019 can boot 4.1. Should it be vurnable to that exploit?

actually i think i have bricked a mariko with incognito.nro, backupping serial before

Any way to fix it? it is enough to put the backup of the sd card or i have to do anything else?

How did you manage that? You used incognito (nro) on emunand? I thought that was safe to do...

While looking a way to connect to internet to update and hbg, as someone says, i used incognito.nro on mariko.
The app gave no issue, but no personal data was hidden, so I restarted the system to see if a reboot was needed.
Then the switch gave died-...no sign of life, nothing on screen, neither on the sxcore led.
Removed SD, and while copying the backup on it, i kept pressing power etc, until the "boot.dat?" screen appeared, luckily.
With the SD card reverted everything is fine.
Same result using HBG shop and the hidden feature. This time the emunand stuck ad joycon logo.
Similar issue, same fix, reverting sd card to backup.

Weird. The incognito.nro (Not RCM) is confirmed to work. The Tinfoil (HBG Shop) method is known to brick, however.

I think you used tinfoil bundled incognito (not incognito.nro), and If you don't have nand backup or biskeys dump, no way to unbrick it for now.

Yeah, sounds that way to me as well. Says he managed to unbrick it after using RCM through Tinfoil though, so there's that. The whole report seems kind of inconsistent though - so I wouldn't risk it.

Ok so Hekate 5.3.2 works through the SX 3.0.3 payload menu to boot into Android / Ubuntu on
SX Core on Mariko units. This is running on SX Core firmware 1.3.

shows this in action.

@satanicangel - maybe you can put a note about this in the OP?

Edit: I'm not 100% sure that this is Mariko.
