Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Lacius]

I couldn't install most games using Awoo Installer, with this combination. Awoo Installer's latest signature patch(es) are for firmware version 11.X. Even after installing the latest signature patches, it refused to use them. So I first opened it (Awoo Installer), deleted/uninstalled signature patches via the GUI, then went back to applying the signature patches on the memory card (hekate ones) for 12.X. After that it worked . Although Awoo installer is still warning me about NCA signatures and it thinks there are no signature patches installed. Posting this for newbies who might be in the same boat.

The NCA signatures warning is about the NSP files being altered, not about whether or not you have signature patches installed. Make sure your NSP files are coming from a trustworthy place. In my instructions, I said to use the signature patches from a very specific source, not to download them through an NSP installer.

What's the ideal firmware for atmosphere users?

Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a pickle here

I was afk from my switch for a while this year and haven't updated it. I saw that OFW 12.00+ was available so I do my usual update routine by going to sdsetup website and downloading all relevant files, then drag and drop them.

I was on OFW 8.1.0 on my switch but can't recall what the emunand was on. When I rebooted the Switch and tried to boot it into RCM mode, I keep getting dark screen after injecting the payload. I don't know what to do, please help!

12.1.0 or 12.0.3 are both fine at the moment.

Pushing what payload? Does tegrarcmgui give an error code? Also 'rcm'* not 'rcm mode', small nitpick.

I was wrong, I am on 8.1.0 OFW and emunand was 9.2.0.

Well, what do you mean error? I'm not getting any errors? I tried to use hekate_ctcaer_5.5.8.bin and fusee-primary.bin payloads. I just get a dark screen after it shows either hekate screen or the Atmosphère with each payload.

And after launching the payload, tegrarcmgui RCM show "No RCM" anymore when it goes to the dark screen.

Ok thats important info. Your original message made it sound like it was getting a black screen after pushing any payload, so i figured the issue was with pushing the payload, but the fact hekate runs means the issue is with your cfw setup. Are you sure your fusee primary file is up to date? You could try removing the atmosphere folder and putting a fresh copy and payload from atmospheres github on.

I will try what you recommened.

So, I can completely delete the WHOLE "atmosphere" folder in the root of the SD? Then download Atmosphère 0.19.5 and put the folder on the root again, as well download the "fusee-primary.bin" from the same github page of the Atmosphère 0.19.5 and replace them again?

BTW, is there multiple locations the fusee-primary.bin needs to be placed on the SD card?

Yes. As for the placement of fusee-primary, the answer is there is no set location for it. You can put it anywhere on the sd and point hekate to it, or you can not even put it on the sd card and just inject it from your pc/phone/dongle.

Hi,

if i update my version of Atmosphere to the new release, is it now safe to update my emunand to 12.1.0, as there was warnings not to update when the new firmware came out

It is safe, but id still probably hold off unless you NEED to update it for some reason.

 

[Irishguy]

Thanks for answering, but why is that?

 

[Ibcap]

Thanks for answering, but why is that?

Theres often issues early on with some homebrew incompatibilities and the like, and no games are going to require 12.1.0 for a long time, so theres no reason to update until everythings been ironed out.

 

[Sejo]

Yes. As for the placement of fusee-primary, the answer is there is no set location for it. You can put it anywhere on the sd and point hekate to it, or you can not even put it on the sd card and just inject it from your pc/phone/dongle.

Replacing the Atmosphère folder did the trick!

Now I can't seem the launch most games? I thought once I download the most recent Atmosphère, the sig patches are updated?

I even tried Homlet's sigpatches-updater, but it didn't fetch or want tp update anything for me.

Sigpatches dont come with atmosphere, youll have to get them separately

I did, but some games still won't launch?

Hi, I'm looking for the best up to date guide for upgrading a SD card with partition based emunand. I'm using Atmosphere and OFW 12.0.3 on the switch. I have a windows PC I can use too.

My searches have turned up links to missing guides or old info I'm not sure still applies.

Hi guys, I am going to buy a never modded switch with a non patched XAJ7001 serial. Can you confirm me it will be modable regardless the installed firmware?
