Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

If I want to update my CFW, do I also need to update my OFW or are they completely separate?

Depends on what NAND you used CFW on, Sysnand and OFW shared the same NAND.

I have CFW on emuNAND

Then just update on your emunand.

Never mind, fixed

Hello, I have two Switches. One is unpatched with CFW, and the other is stock with OFW and no modifications.

Is it safe to use a Switch Pro Controller between these two devices?

There's nothing in the Bluetooth communications that would somehow alert my OFW Switch that I've been using the controller on a hacked Switch correct?

Atmosphére support almost every OFW version, so you can update your CFW with no issues, always is recommended to update CFW BEFORE update your FW on your SYSNand or EmuNand.

I recently updated emuMMC CFW to 13, but sysNAND still on OFW 9.0.1. I always booted thru autoRCM to prevent fuse burn. How can I test my new 3D printed RCM jig while preventing fuse burn?

i was wondering if i were to dump xci files with tinfoil to my swtich , would i get banned for running the software with an internet connection but not using the online services ? ( btw i just have the standard atmosphere stuff no additional files)

So long as you are holding the volume up, it *should* prevent it from booting into nintendos bootloader if the jig works

Recently my Emunand stopped running, I am not too clued up and get confused by names and version numbers. So I installed a new package to fix it, and it did fix it, I used Pack.Atmosphere.1.1.1.Hekate.5.6.2.Sigpatch.13.0.0.

I am now blocked from updating my games and going online, whereas I wasn't before. And yes I am aware I can get banned but I also don't care about getting banned, I have another Switch for playing online officially.

My question is, what have I added that is now blocking updates, the switch isn't banned (i checked)

Where did you download the package?

Even if they did, why would anyone get banned for simply using a controller from a hacked console? Controllers aren't tied to consoles in the first place.

Yes because bans happen anytime after connecting to Nintendo's servers which the console does automatically irrespective of actually using Nintendo's online services.

I'm more concerned if it doesn't, you know. If I remove my SD card, try the jig with [Pwr] + [Vol+], would that be a safer way? That way, if the jig doesn't work, all I would have done is booted OFW. I haven't tampered with sysNAND in anyway..

If the jig fails it should just boot OFW normally and if the system update isn't downloaded it shouldn't burn , does that make sense

so if i were to use an emunand would i be able to do it then with an internet connection but not using the online features?

Just wondering but:

-Do i need to create a nand backup after every fw update i do?

-is there any way to disable the homebrew menu when i press the home button so my kids don't mess with it?!

No, but it's up to you, I would do it every few versions or if u have significant data changes.

Uhhh iirc yoi can change hbmenu behaviour using loader.ini in atmosphere configs

I'm jailbreaking switch for first time and am following youtube tutorials. I got the atmosphere files github but I don't see a sept folder that I see in the tutorials. Where can I get that or is it even necessary? What is it for?

I don't recommend following any Youtube guides because Atmosphere updates fairly regularly. So any Youtube video guide is very likely out of date, especially if there has been a new firmware release. Instead, I would recommend following a text guide like https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/ (not the only one, but one I used for three of my unpatched Switches, each on different official firmware including the latest 13.0).

What's best to use awoo or tinwoo for atmosphere and also is there a way to come out of applet mode pressed r doesn't work

 

[steel52]

Thanks for the recomendation. I should have went with the text guide.
the vid is from 2 weeks ago. I already started and just completed the nand back up. It seems pretty straight forward from the vid but still just wondering what the sept folder which i don't have is for. Will it stop me from being able to do anything that you are aware of?

 

[steel52]

Thanks for the recommendation unfortunately I'm already mid process. The vid is from 2 weeks ago. Latest I could find.
Anyhow, anyone know if anything will happen with not having the sept folder on the card? What exactly is sept folder for? Any way to find it online and install after jailbreak is complete?
