Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

Looks like it was the Samsung SD card that is either counterfeit or faulty. I tried a Gigastone XC SD card and the results as shown here are consistent. Time to contact amazon to get a new one! Thanks for the help

Good stuff! You bet. Glad you had another card at the ready.

Yeah, it’s either shot or getting there soon. Better to act now before you lose everything.

If you want proof, you can run h2testw on your old card and it will confirm/deny our suspicions.

e: I just learned today that you can tap 3 fingers anywhere on Hekate and it will do a screen shot. It stores your pics in /bootloader/screenshots/. If you run something like https://github.com/cathery/sys-ftpd-light you can just jump on your switch and pull screenshots (or do any other maintenance) without messing with your sd card.

Hey guys!
Ok so I've spent all day researching and none of the solutions are working.
I updated my firmware with AIO, to the latest Rebootless one. I installed it with daybreak, and now I am getting an error with Fusee.

"A fatal error occurred when running Fusee.
Incorrect fusee version! (program=0xb6b6ac70, mtc=0xb46dcf71)

Press POWER to reboot."

I cant even boot into RCM, and if it matters I have AutoRCM on.


Is there anything I can do or?

I'm confused. I've found switch with serial XAJ70004xxx

As I understand, this is jailbreakable regardless of the firmware version current of the console, right? I assume the seller has the switch up to date.

Upgrade by hand to get out of this situation. Here’s a good guide to do so: https://rentry.org/UpdateCFW

Do PC method of course…

it‘s likely you don’t have the new fusee.bin downloaded and in /bootloader/payloads/ or maybe injecting and old version of Hekate.

I added an extra digit [0-9] and it appears that way on https://ismyswitchpatched.com/.

What are you confused about?

@Gudui ,if i understand correctly you would like to buy a switch that has xaj70004xxx as serial,go quiet it isn't patched even if the owner has the latest firmware installed (14.1.2).
I don't know if you also care that it isn't banned to play online.

Got my hands on a mint V1 this week and have been modding it today.

Can anyone explain or point me in the right direction to understand the hekate_ipl.ini file?

I have set up in hekate a dual system cfw + stock.

I want to edit the hekate_ipl.ini to block the companies servers whilst i'm using emummc and be able to go online and access the servers when im on my stock system.

What is the best way to achieve this? Thank you

Here is a good place to start: https://rentry.org/SwitchHackingIsEasy

Hekate is the bootloader. You can read about Hekat4 setup here: https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate
(hint: Hekate does not do DNS or Prodinfo blocking. You need exosphere and dns:mitm for this. It’s detailed in the guide above)

Found my old SD from which i started my CFW adventures this winter , since my backup from 512GB one can be f***d up.
It has hekate 5.6.5.
How can i quickly update these stuff to newest? ( and could someone sent me payload files from back then? )
i'm specifically asking about newest firmware files, i forgot where to look for these
Edit:
NVM, i managed to upgrade it all by myself and it seems to work no problem so far. Xenoblade Chronicles 3, HERE I COME!

Hi everyone before you tell me to move onto Atmosphere I have two switch systems, one on Atmosphere and the other is using SX OS. Backporting with SAK has worked well until recently because from what I understand games using FW over 12 cant to be backported using SAK and the game will never boot just stays stuck on the switch loading screen. The question is, are there alternative back porting methods/ programs that will make the newer games run, or will programs like SAK be updated to support newer games in the future maybe? Just looking for a solution here. thanks for checking out this post and trying to help!

Downgrading games depends on the game not being built with an SDK of firmware 12.0 or higher. The newer the game, the greater the chances the SDK it was built with uses a higher firmware version. And the reason downgrading it won't work is because those games are compiled and developed using certain functions only found on those higher firmware versions. Therefore the issue is not SAK but the fact that these games were made with higher firmware versions in mind. So there will be a growing list of games that can never ever be played on SX OS.

Hey guys.
I have updated switch (erista) several times before but today i updated to 14.1.2 (13. to 14.1.2) with new atm and hetake and sig patch all new version like usual but this time an incorrect fusee error occured. i don't know what i've done wrong. The hetake.bin and fusee.bin new versions are in the payload folder. this is the first time i have this issue despite doing the same like several time before.
If someone have a solution for this plz help me to solve it. Thanks in advance.

when i use Awoo installer to install games remotely from pc via USB cable it gives me two options... to install to SD and system.
Since im on emuMMC, does system in this case refers to emuMMC system, as in SD card?
I guess what i wanna say is do both options install nsp files on my SD card since im runing emuMMC? because i dont have any more memory to install games on sd, but 'system' memory is almost empty and has plenty of space when i go to settongs>data

I recommend backing everything up on your SD card then starting with a fresh installation of Atmosphere. If you don't want to backup everything, just your Nintendo folder is sufficient since that is where all of your installed games are located thus taking up the most space on your SD card.

I cant seem to install Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I have both the NSP & XCI. I split both with Switch Army Knife & organized everything into separate folders. The split files wont install. Any ideas why ?

Why are you trying to install the files in parts? USB install can install the game without splitting.

In the end, both will technically be installing to the SD card so you are correct that system memory for the emuMMC is still the SD card. But the system memory for emuMMC is the space that you partitioned in order to make the emUMMC in the first place. In other words, installing to system memory for emuMMC won't take up additional space on your SD card assuming you have space in your internal memory. Whereas installing to the SD card will continuously take up space until you run out of space on the SD card.

Okay, my switch heating up is worrying me so i'm going to send it to the service so they could clean it up from the inside, replace the fan and stuff (to scared to so it myself, tbh)
Here's the question - how can i remove CFW from my unit? Will simple SD card swapping work?
I can't find any backups from before CFW so i'm afraid to not get stuck with a brick tbh

Are you sending to Nintendo? If you are sending to local electronics place they won’t care that you have funny software on it.

Do you have a V1? If you send a V1 to Nintendo you will likely not get the same machine back.

if you’re on V2 you will have to unsolder the mod chip which will leave signs that it’s been tampered with and void your warranty.

Let’s get back to basics:

How hot is your switch getting and what are you doing at the time?

e: is this on the new SD Card?

Nope, found local service that cleans up and manages consoles overall . There's not even a way for me to send it to official Nintendo service, tbh

Yes, it's V1, bought on release

Well, it's hot enough that after playing for half an hour in a dock i can't handle it by the screen. It cools down after time, ofc, but i'm afraid it may burn in dock, especially in that one hell of a Summer we have. In handheld fans got noticeably louder since release, that's for sure, even when i play less demanding games . There's probably no thermal paste left and while i kept it in case, well, it's old so it would require some attention

And no, it's not new SD Card. I just ordered new one so it should be in my hands at around Thursday. It's my previous, 128GB card that i installed CFW for the first time this winter, i wasn't wiping it clean just in case of something happening. I updated it today and works like a charm so far but not doing anything crazy with it
