Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

Hi.
Is this sdloader thing anyhow related to hwfly-nx bootloader? Or was it only related to the SX core OS ?

I have a hac-001 Switch.
Which is the best screen on Amazon to get, connectors and everything?
Prefer to shop from Amazon.

Hey there! Experiencing a huge issue with Tinfoil since updating to OFW 14.1.1.

Everything worked fine before. I had just finished removing my "atmosphere", "bootloader" and "sept" folders and then adding the new atmos package for 1.3.1, followed by the sigpatches for 1.3.1/HOS14.1.0 (I was told they'd be exactly the same for 14.1.1), and I'm launching using the newest fusee file.

On a fresh boot into atmos, games will work just fine on my SD card. I'll launch Tinfoil, no problems. But then I'll go to install an NSP, and no matter which one, it'll get to 100% and then throw an error saying "Failed to commit to content records".

This will create a spinning black icon for the "installed" game. I can remove this by going into the Switch data management settings, and then try twice to delete the software (the first try will throw an error).

However, all the games on the SD card are now unplayable, and will throw the generic "unable to start software" error message when trying to launch anything.

So, what's the deal? Did Tinfoil get an update I don't know about? That's essentially the only link in the chain that I didn't update. Or were people wrong about 14.1.0 sigpatches being identical to 14.1.1 sigs?

I've tried this same process several times over, even on another SD card I use in my Switch. The exact same results play out any time.

What do the oldfags mean when they say newer switches are a "closed system", therefore abandon all hope ye who enter here?

As you asked before, you need a modchip to hack newer consoles but very few people can solder a modchip into their console. Therefore unless you have the skills or know someone with the skills to solder, then there is no point in buying a new Switch for hacking.

Never heard of SD Loader and nothing relevant appears on Google at least related to the Nintendo Switch.

I'd highly recommend switching to TinWoo Installer. Its what I personally use and I never have any issues.

Ok! Testing TinWoo now, but it's in Japanese, can you help me find the setting to change that?

Well, it doesn't have a description nor any public releases so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

If you open the application, the Settings Tab is the one with the gear icon.

Ok... something strange happened since the last time I played on Switch. Yesterday, after I finished playing, I left it on the dock and selected Sleep Mode from the menu. Today, when I was going to play, it just didn't want to turn on again, even after pressing and holding the power button for a while.

Since I have Auto RCM, I connected it to my PC, then it was recognized and I was able to inject the payload and it turned on again. Battery was 100%.

If it matters: System on FW 14.1.0, AMS 1.3.1.

Someone has any idea of what could have happened?

And does selecting Sleep Mode, and clicking the power button on the console once the same thing?

What do you mean by “screen”? Do you have an example?

Mine just pops right back up regardless of how put it to sleep. Pretty sure all “sleeps” are equal. Holding power for 15 seconds is the right move in this case.

It sounds like it just got honked up in its sleep this one time. Probably due to length of time? See if happens when you put it to sleep again. If not you really don’t have a reliable way to test other than to wait for it to happen again.

All set! Using TinWoo instead solved the issue, everything else is back to normal behavior, so I'm officially done with Tinfoil from here on out.

 

[HelloShitty]

Hello.
Help here
I could see that Nintendo Switch Sports game was added to Tinfoil with 2.2Gb. I tried to install it either from Recomended and from XCI but nothing happens.
I'm on an OLED, Hekate 5.7.2 + Atmosphère 1.3.1 + firmware 14.1.0.
Why install doesn't start nor any error message comes up nor nothing happens? Anyone can reproduce this behaviour? I tried to install into NAND (aka sysNAND), not in SD card system.

Are you using a paid shop? Cause I don’t see it.

 

[HelloShitty]

Are you using a paid shop? Cause I don’t see it.

I'm using a few:
quotanx.in
Luffshop
tits (free)
e.cchi.me (I think this is a shop too)
stealthshop.cf
pengus.cf
UltimateShop
Switch.teknik.app (not sure this is a shop)

 

[HelloShitty]

Well, seems the shops are down but I already got the game from another source and the game asks to update the console to be able to run the game, so this seems to be a no go!

Edited;
I'm going to try to update to 14.1.1 and try the game again!

Ok, Nintendo Switch Sports game requires 14.1.1 version!

Wow…really? That’s kinda wild that it’s mandatory already.
Must have been the reason for the back to back releases.
Theres already a game update as well.
Going to upgrade everything I guess…thanks for sharing your exp.

Seems like that, yes. I already tried the game with the update included!
I'll keep the game a few more days, then will probably install another one just for testing the games and so.
I don't have much time to play! I only play one game occasionally and that is MotoGP22. And I don't play it since last weekend. lol

HI All,
Is there a way i can update my games on Emmuenand? I have a game i installed from cart but i need the update to stop it yelling at me each time i try to play.

Or is there a homebrew that i can use to stop it from yeling at me 4 times each time i try to play the game.

Thanks

What CFW version and FW version are you running? Recently upgrade to latest?

Update versions are in the new FW so that’s what’s telling the Switch to nag you. You’ll need to go find an update and install. Works great with Emunand.

I'm on AMS 1.3.1 and FW 14.1.1.
I unfortunatly had to re-intall my game from the cart so it's back to V1. So i basically need all the update files for BOTW.
