Hello

This is my first time on a forum so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong area but I have a switch with display but no back-light I have checked the back-light connector and I am getting a voltage of 0.12 3.85 0.12 0 and I have checked the back-light chip (TPS61163A) and the resistors are not shorting out so I'm wondering would it be a bad lcd or is their something else I should check.

Thanks in advance

Don't use TegraRCMGUI. Just use TegraRCMSmash instead.

First, there is no such thing as "1st" or "2nd" generation Switch. There are Erista and Mariko units. Secondly, if by "2nd generation" you mean Mariko, then the only way to hack those is with the TX modchip. While the modchip will work regardless of firmware, SX OS does not support firmware 11.0.1. However Atmosphere does and the next official release will allow users with the modchip to boot into it.

I copied the command from TegraRCMSmash and nothing happens in cmd/powershell still. Just says it's trying on USB device, and then nothing after that line. I'll try again, but I imagine I can't as it's too new, but it's annoying I can't get a message telling me I definitely can or can't. I probably have a Mariko unit in that case, how can I check? And which Atmosphere release will support TX modchip? 0.17.0?

Mariko units are sold in the red boxes so if you bought it new like that, then there's your answer. The other way to check is with the serial number which you can find here. And yes, the 0.17 release of Atmosphere will allow booting on the TX modchip.

Hey everyone I have been out of the scene for a while but I wanted to get everything updated so I can play Hades on OFW while retaining my Emunand.

What are your recommendations to update my current setup:

OFW-10.0.4
Emunand-9.0.1
SXOS-2.9.3.

I read that atmosphere already has support for 11.0.1 on Emunand but I would rather not have to redo my whole setup if I don't have to and can stick with SXOS. Thanks guys.

If you're not using XCI files, then switching to Atmosphere is no big deal. TX's future is uncertain, and switching to Atmosphere might be recommended.

If you're using your sysMMC for online play, it needs to be updated to the latest version through the system settings.

Your emuMMC can be updated using Daybreak on Atmosphere (recommended method of updating). You should update to 11.0.0 of you plan on using SX OS, and you should update to 11.0.1 if you plan on ditching SX OS. Alternatively, you can use ChoiDujourNX on SX OS to update (not recommended).

Your CFW, whatever it is, should be updated to the latest version.

Yep, I'm XKJ which is 100% patched (and box is definitely red). Looks like a SX Core is (near) impossible to get hold of, so I'm out of luck for now. Thanks anyway!
 
so if this isnt allowed to ask then sorry....but is there a way to extract a dev build of a game and repack it for retail (like they did with the PKMN Sword Betas)? i have the Lets Go beta as NSP but its only usable on a Dev unit....is there any program to do it?
 
I am having some interesting behavior with Atmosphere 0.16.2. If I hold the power button and select turn off inside Atmosphere on my emunand, the screen goes black and it appears to turn off. However, if I press the power button to boot my ofw sysnand, my Switch will freeze on the "Nintendo Switch" logo. If I press the button again, it will boot into my sysnand correctly. If I reboot atmosphere to Hekkate and power off from there, I don't encounter this problem. My first thought was atmosphere was rebooting to RCM, but this doesn't appear to be the case. What's happening here? Thanks!

I havent touched my Switch in a couple years and I'm trying to get everything updated so I can play newer nsps. I dont remember much, but the system settings say Reinx 6.0, the Switch is in AutoRCM so I have to inject payload to boot whenever it dies, and I do have a backup of BOOT0, BOOT1, rawnand, and device.keys. Is it just a matter of clearing the SD card and adding the new files of Atmosphere etc from sdsetup? Do I need to update the system firmware or can I leave it on the older version?

Switch to the latest version of Atmosphere with the appropriate signature patches, and update to 11.0.1 using Daybreak.

Are you using the latest version of both Hekate and Atmosphere?

Hi, what should I use for updating my emunand ? Daybreak or choixdujour?
The update can impact the sysnand / bricking it ? Because in this thread
https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-...-while-updating-firmware-via-daybreak.572588/
I think he updated his emunand but still got a brick ?
Click to expand...
For starters, ChoiDujour only supports up to firmware 6.2 so that is already out of the question. Secondly, 99% of users mistake a black screen for a brick or something else stupid so majority of "bricks" are not actually bricks.

Hi
Can anyone help?

So in CFW mode my son dropped the switch and later the system told me to reinsert the sdcard, the switch got restarted

Later I tried to cfw'ed it again, but whenever I push the Reinx.bin payload via Hekate, it will not bootup to reinxsplash screen (the animegirl with sunglasses)
It only booted up to black splash screen and nothing

I'm using Hekate ctcaer 5.2.1.bin
in official firmware, the sd card is detected

Everything works well before

Any idea?
