Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Draxzelex]

Alright thanks again! Yeah of course, I was just trying to poke for things I might overlook But so I'm correct in my understanding of how all this works?

Yeah you had everything figured out from the get go

hello community, im new in the switch world, i got a mariko switch v2 and got it hacked by sx modchip, the guy who hacked it for me installed retrorelaoded, it have ofw & atmosphere but not enabled (no emunand for it) and sx os (emunand), so im asking what to do and from where to start ?
-i want to update hekate to latest version and update atmosphere to 0.17.0 when it releases
so i have multiple cfw and boot what i want
-install lakka ubuntu and android if possible ? (do i need to get another sd card for this, mine is 256gb and already full)
-i installed homebrews from album app in sx os but they wont work and shows a message a run app from game mode or something like that

forgive me for being too dump and a total noob, im new to the switch world and already a huge amount of hack materials is there
TIA

I recommend following this guide.

How is the SD card and partition formatted?

formatted the sd on my computer as fat32, created the partition and the emummc using hekate.

You misunderstand. You can get banned for clearing logs regardless if you were online or not. The reason is because the console can track if logs were cleared. This is why the tool to remove logs was depreciated because it did the opposite of what it was intended for. Restoring a clean eMMC backup technically does not remove logs because what it really does is return the console to the state it was in when the backup was made. I also noticed you downgraded to 4.1 before restoring your clean backup which was a complete waste of time. Not only would restoring your backup return your firmware to 4.1 anyway but downgrading is a tricky process that could lead to more issues. Its too late not but next time, there is no point in downgrading before restoring a clean backup.

Oh ok, I understand everything better now, thanks . I have one last question by the way, do you know if haku33 is secure to do a nand restore? or it's better to just use hetake?

Alright! I'm still not sure if I'll do it as I really don't want to get my Switch banned by accident before the next Switch hits but it sure is itching me

Haku33 does not restore eMMC backups; only Hekate can perform those. Haku33 is a dangerous program that artificially cleans the console which includes removing logs that can lead to a ban. In fact, someone has already been banned after using it so I would never recommend touching that app.

What's the default game installer being used?

I used to use Goldleaf, but since it didn't support NSZ I changed to Lithium, but since I'm in the process of updating my firmware, I figured I could ask which one is an easy to use alternative if there are any.

There are no default, it is per preference, there are a lot installers out there just pick the one you like the most.

Is there any resource out there to check? I don't even know how they're called

What's your opinion?

What's your opinion?

Because NSZ isn't an official format, NSZ is the same size as NSP after install, Goldleaf was bundle with Kosmos when it was still around, as for other installers you have like Tinleaf, Awoo, Goldbrick, Tinwoo.

 

[Draxzelex]

There are a lot of them. In no particular order, we have DevMenu, Tinfoil, DZ, Goldleaf, Lithium, Awoo Installer, Tinleaf, and the newly released TinWoo. Personally, I use Awoo Installer but don't let that dissuade you from using any of the others.

Recently did a clean install on a newly initialized switch(atm 0.16.2 ofw 11.0.1 hekate 5.5.1) followed the nh-server guide. I can't get goldleaf or checkpoint to run. Checkpoint crashes, goldleaf just kicks me back to hb menu.

When will the solderless sx core/lite's come out?

I updated to 10.2 and now I get an atmosphere crash anytime I insert a cart. I've turned off the no-gc in every file I can find, updated everything, cleaned out atmosphere folder... anything else I can try?

What version of atmo are you using (stable or experimental)?
Are you using your own console prodinfo?
Are you using hekate or fusee-primary?

still a newb at this, thanks for replying

.16.2-master-1085ccbe
if console prodinfo means did I install or change anything to hide from a ban then no
was using hekate before just tried fusee-primary seems the same with both (crash immediately upon inserting game card)

*edit* thanks for the help, through some combination of reinstalling everything and cleaning out the sd card it started working again

 

[Wally_Cykes]

There and there is also a setting in bct.ini iirc

Also are you using your original prodinfo or a donated one?

Sorry for the late answer. Yesterday was tough.

Look, i can't tell if it is enabled or not by what i saw, but it's written this way:

BCT0
[stage1]
stage2_path = atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
stage2_mtc_path = atmosphere/fusee-mtc.bin
stage2_addr = 0xF0000000
stage2_entrypoint = 0xF0000000

[stratosphere]
; To force-enable nogc, add nogc = 1
; To force-disable nogc, add nogc = 0

; To opt out of using Atmosphere's NCM reimplementation, add disable_ncm = 1

As for the prodinfo, by the serial code, it's my original prodinfo.

Look like you burn your cartridge slot firmware, remove your cart.

guys, I've updated my switch to 11.0.1 today using this guide https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/extras/updating/ (first atmo+hekate, then sysmmc then emummc using tegraexplorer and daydream)

the current state is that it boots into atmo fine (showing latest version of os and atmo under system) but I am not able to get to the hbmenu pressing "R" - it simply loads album or tries to start the game. Nor will it start any game - tried a few, don't wanna try more not to corrupt the files as this always gives me "Could not start the software. Please try again from the HOME Menu." error.

Any ideas what to try to make all work again? I'd prefer not to have to rebuild the entire emummc from the scratch as I have "awoo-installed" a few hundred GBs worth of data so that would be unfortunate...

thank you!
