With the new SD it is: 13.2.1|AMS 1.3.1|S (I tried an older FW
With my original SD ... I can NOT boot to see this

perfect…so on your new SD card you are using (S)ysnand. You didn’t build an (E)munand as part of that build.

Please share a screenshot of you root directory of your old sd card. I’m actually curious about the contents of your sd:/emummc/emummc.ini file.

This is on your old card? Looks like emunand is completely disabled And you’re on (S)ysnand there as well. Updating my mental diagram here…

Since your Atmosphere is 1.3.1 let’s upgrade to FW 14.1.0 (with FAT32 and exfat) using Daybreak on your new card. This should fix everything and you’ll be on your way.

I have a V1 Switch running the latest Atmosphere with the emunand on firmware 12.1.0 and using the latest version of Hekate. I have been trying to get into my Sysnand but nothing I found on the forums have worked. If I have AutoRCM on and try to boot to Sysnand from the Hekate launch menu, It freezes on the Hekate logo, If I turn AutoRCM off I get dialog saying something along the lines of "found pkg1 and mkey 6 loaded config stock mode" no errors or anything in red, but it'll just freeze on the that dialog screen. With AutoRCM off and using the button to boot normally, I just get a black screen. There's a chance that the sysnand was on a way lower firmware than the emunand. I have been killing myself trying to fix this, any help would be appreciated greatly.

I subscribe to the same guide and am on FW 14.1.0/AMS1.3.1/Hekate 5.7.2 so I can do a quick test to see if I can duplicate your ish.

Lets try temporarily moving your /atmosphere/contents to /atmosphere/contents.bak and see if that lets us boot via the Hekate menu and explicitly selecting Stock Sysnand

Actually I now notice I don't even have /contents at all. However, it does seem that your .ini directly booted me into the sysnand and the firmware version is 6.2. My goal is to sell the Switch so I have to figure out how to get it to turn on via the power button and boot into stock above all. Forgive me, im extremely tired, i should've mentioned this before.

Ok, great. So it’s booting.

Is your goal to sell it as hacked or just hackable?

Hackable preferably, I want to avoid a situation where someone buys it hacked and complains because they don't know how to use it properly.

I would:

1. upgrade Sysnand to 14.1.0
2. turn off AutoRCM
3. do a factory reset
4. format the sd card
5. pack it in the box
6. call it a day

 

[placebo_yue]

if i were to buy a switch today, which version is the best version?
i found out about O3DS and N3DS difference AFTER i brought the old one. I'd like to know better now that i'm thinking of buying a switch

You have to buy one with an unpatched serial number. Check this thread for a full list.

Probably will do that and hope for the best. Thanks for your help.

Thanks, that's very useful information i would've never find out on my own.
Anything else like.. regarding performance? lite VS regular switch with a dock?

Only unpatched consoles can be easily hacked by anyone. Anything past the first generation of Switch consoles will require a modchip which in turn will require soldering.

TL;DR: Switch from 2017 doesn't go into RCM anymore and also the WiFi just... shat itself somehow. No connections show up at all when I search in the settings. Full story under the spoilers, because it's long and I figured it might help me try to figure something out if I wrote down everything I can best remember.

Spoiler: Full story

So after a few months of not being charged at all, due to holding off on a digitizer repair (touch screen is mostly okay, just a small section doesn't respond to touch), I decided to charge my Switch back up. First thing I noticed was that the WiFi wasn't connected, so I tried to connect, wouldn't connect. Checked everything, kept getting error code 2110 1100, so cleared settings and set up the WiFi connection manually. Still didn't work. :s

Decided to set that to the side, so I rebooted back into stock to play some Skywalker Saga, and I found that I had to update the system to play the game. Thought that was weird, since I thought I had to be online for that, so I hit okay to see what would happen, and I guess it was a cart update? Because it didn't show up when I said no, but did when I hit update, so my Switch is on FW 13.2.0 now. A few hours later, I wanted to try again with the WiFi, figuring I could try to do something in Hekate. Not sure what my reasoning was behind that, but yeah.

Couldn't get into RCM. Okay, just gotta update the payloads and such on my RCM loader, right? I updated to the very latest payloads, and... well, I still couldn't get into RCM. I Googled it and it seems that the likely culprit is that something wore out on the rail, but I'm not sure if they mean the rail on the tablet that the JoyCons go into or the rails on the JoyCons themselves, because my JoyCons still charge and work just fine.

Hi guys, I have a small problem. I installed a sx core in my nephews switch 2 years ago and wanted to switch to atmosphere today. When installing the latest atmosphere files and using original (sysnand) boot0 and boot1 I get a black screen after the atmosphere Logo. The sysnand is still on 9.1 and the emunand on 10.1 Updated with choid iirc. Any idea what I can do?

I followed this tutorial:

https://rentry.org/mys8q

Is the mismatch in the sysnand version and emunand version causing this because I use sysnand boot0/1?


Thank you!
