Use it how? I already said I tried using it. HOW do I use it? Nobody ever has a straight answer, at least not one that works.
Hactool is a program that requires you to use the command prompt. The commands however are user-sensitive because they will vary based on where your key files are located, the name of the game, location of the game file, etc.

I can't really understand what you're saying but it sounds like your emuMMC partition was deleted after trying to install a game?

I soft modded my switch using SXOS a while ago but have stepped away from the scene and using my switch. I want to get back into it but I'm lost on all the changes that has been made since I last paid attention. I have a launch switch with SXOS 2.71 installed on emunand. I understand that SXOS is no longer being updated and Atmosphere seems to be the preferred choice so I have some questions and was wondering if someone can point me in the direction of a few guides:

1. Is it worth migrating from SXOS to Atmosphere? If so, how can I do this? Should I do a clean install and start fresh? I have my original sysnand backed up.

2. If I want to update to the latest OFW and go online, is it safe to do this? Do I have to restore the OG sysnand before going online? Does having an older version of SXOS on my SDcard put me at risk at being banned?

Thanks in advance!

Before I answer your questions, I want to clarify something. While many people believe SX OS is dead due to the site constantly going down and key members being arrested, the CFW was updated to support 11.0 recently so its possible that support may continue. I understand that they haven't released an update for 11.0.1 but anything is possible.
  1. If you don't mind losing the ability to mount .XCI files especially from an HDD, it is worth the swap. You do not need to do a clean install but any games that you have installed with SX OS may need to be re-installed as TX applies a patch to games installed with their CFW that allows them only to work with their CFW
  2. While it may be safe to do this with Atmosphere, the latest firmware is a bit unstable when it comes to CFW/homebrew. If you still wish to update (which I don't recommend), then you should restore any clean backup you have as going online without it can get you banned. However older versions of SX OS don't increase the risk of getting anymore than not restoring your clean backup as running any CFW/homebrew may get you banned

Is transferring saves from emuMMC to sysNAND a definitive ban if done with legit purchased games from eshop? I want to mess with modifying Animal Crossing or using PKHeX, but doing simple things like adding bells or putting in "legit" Pokemon, but I also would want to convenience of being able to go online with them.

What's the best way to wipe SXOS and install Atmosphere. Do I have to do a clean wipe and restore my backup sysnand then start from scratch?

ok complete noob here and you probably heard this a 1000 times by now.
i have atmosphere on my switch and i didnt do anything yet other than creating emunand.
question is this, is it safe to go online (mainly for homebrew online features) without getting my console banned and if so how?
thanks

There is nothing that will guarantee a ban but much like any other CFW or homebrew, it is a risk. How much of a risk depends on who you ask because it is nearly impossible to quantify. Instead, weigh which one is more important to you: hacking or online play.

SX OS is just one file; boot.dat. However if you're going to never use it again, you should also remove any folders related to SX OS as well as any .XCI files that you normally mount.

Yes and No... i try all options that i had:/
What do you mean "yes and no"? You either have emuMMC or you don't.

It is not safe to go online after using any CFW or homebrew.

Try doing a fresh installation of Atmosphere. This means wiping everything from your SD card, downloading the latest Atmosphere from here, and placing it on your SD card. If you have any games installed to your SD card, backup the Nintendo folder before wiping your SD card.

any suggestions on how to avoid it though?
are there more things i need to consider if im willing to use the online homebrew apps/emunand?
You cannot reduce the risk of a ban with CFW/homebrew aside from never using it.
