Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[binkinator]

I did all your advice same result looking for sigpatched, I even tried to download the games in goodleaf

Let’s do this:

• Move/rename your /atmosphere directory to /atmosphere.bk
• Move/rename your /bootloader directory to /bootloader.bk
• Download and unzip to the root of yiur SDCard the latest Hekate.x.x.x.zip from the releases section of the official GitHub: https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases
• Download and unzip to the root of your SDCard the latest Atmosphere.x.x.x.zip from the releases section of the official GitHub: https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases
• Download fusee.bin from https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases and place it in /bootloader/payloads/
• Sigpatches (GBATemp) grab sigpatches from here and unzip them at the root of your SDCard.
• create a new file called ‘bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini and place the following inside of it:

[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=3
backlight=100
autohosoff=0
autonogc=1
updater2p=0
bootprotect=0
[Atmosphere CFW]
payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee.bin
icon=bootloader/res/icon_payload.bmp
[Stock SysNAND]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
stock=1
emummc_force_disable=1
icon=bootloader/res/icon_switch.bmp

If you do not have a /exosphere.ini file at the top level of your SDCard, create one and place this inside (make sure it ends in .ini and not .ini.txt)

[exosphere]
debugmode=1
debugmode_user=0
disable_user_exception_handlers=0
enable_user_pmu_access=0
blank_prodinfo_sysmmc=0
blank_prodinfo_emummc=1
allow_writing_to_cal_sysmmc=0
log_port=0
log_baud_rate=115200
log_inverted=0

if you do not have an /atmosphere/hosts directory, create one.

if you do not have an /atmosphere/hosts/default.txt file create one and out the following inside it:

Block Nintendo Servers
127.0.0.1 *nintendo.*
127.0.0.1 *nintendo-europe.com
127.0.0.1 *nintendoswitch.*
95.216.149.205 *conntest.nintendowifi.net
95.216.149.205 *ctest.cdn.nintendo.net

once all this is done, reboot your switch and select Atmosphere CFW

We essentially just did redo the entire hacking process. If you went through everything I listed then you are not running on anything that was there before. This is extremely strange.

e: the only thing we did not replace was your emunand. There is nothing else left to replace after that.

this is what my SD card look like?maybe I did something wrong on your instruction

It looks absolutely perfect. Thinking about what else we can try…

anyone else have any ideas?

thank you @binkinator for helping me on my switch issue,I hope other can share any ideas

 

[binkinator]

Since you posted how to migrate to an upgraded CFW, I started from my SD card and followed step by step the guide you told me. No difference, same old problems
Error 2002-4517 (0x23a02)
Module file system (2)
Description NCA invalid (it could be for a newer firmware or you do not have enabled sigpatches) (4517)
Could anyone tell me how to solve?
Thank you

The instructions I sent earlier addressed the issue of Sigpatches.

what firmware are you on?

the other issue reported with this issue is it could be a bad SDCard. Please test with h2testw.

Do you have a whole bunch of games and saves on this card? If you don’t have a bunch of stuff already on there, we could just start over with a new Emunand and take it from the top. You’ve done everything else included w/ hacking a switch so it’s not much more to add.

We’ll, since we’re out of sane option, let’s go nuclear.

Please download rufus and h2testw onto you PC.

Before we wipe everything please confirm if you are on Erista (V1) or Mariko (V2)...I think I know but don’t want to leave anything to chance.

 

[Draxzelex]

Sorry, I fixed the bootloader sigpatch at launch issues. Now I'm running into issue when installing over nusbloader and tinwoo. Are my sigpatches wrong?

What firmware is your console on?

Where can I download Rufus and h2testw

I think this is Erista(V1) Im not sure I just saw it on All in One

Yes, that’s a v1.

Copy your /backup folder to your PC before we do anything else.

here they are:

https://3ds.hacks.guide/h2testw-(windows).html
https://rufus.ie/en/

Once you finish the test and confirm your SDCard is good, format your card as FAT32 w/ 32k block size.

Then start reading this guide:

https://rentry.co/SwitchHackingIsEasy

The first three sections are worth a read and will help troubleshooting in the future.

Section 4 is where we’ll make a new Emunand by copying your Sysnand.
Create/Restore a NAND backup

When you get to the CFW part you will want the section called:
Set up Atmosphere with EmuNAND on Erista (Unpatched)

I'll try it tom sir (timediff),I hope I can get it right,

may I ask something?where will I start here?I mean start of hacking process/jailbreak?

No worries. Just start at the top, 1, 2, 3…3 is where the action starts.

the places where you will need to make a decision you just chose the following:

is there a video of how to run - doom 1 -2 classic running on nintendo switch offline

 

[binkinator]

is there a video of how to run - doom 1 -2 classic running on nintendo switch offline

Best I can do is a comic strip with Swahili sub-titles.

Kidding aside…must it be a video?

Seems you can just download a save file that‘s already knocked on Bethesda’s login page and then you can play offline forever. Sourcing a file now…

 

[HalfScoper]

You download the games (from the eShop duh), you install them, you play them, no magic needed.
For "special needs" you need to find yourself the "cracks" by the scene.

 

[Rens02]

Yeah, maybe corruption. Glad we’re on the path to format everything anyway. This is probably why things mysteriously went sideways to begin with. Time to break out the big guns…

Here are two tools to try and back things up:
1) MiniTool Partition Wizard <- attempt to make a bit-for-bit copy of the entire sd card.
2) Unstoppable Copier <- copy everything and don’t stop for errors.

If these don’t work…we’re pretty screwed, in which case you should mount you SDCard with NXNandManager and copy the /USER/saves (these are your game saves) and we:

• format with rufus
• reinstall Hekate/Atmosphere/SigPatches
• reinstall games
• restore save games (From backup above)

Hey man, just created some backups of my SD card which took almost a full day since my hdd is super slow. I also succesfully formatted my sd card using rufus. After this I installed Hekate/Atmosphere and the sigpatches.
Is it perhaps better to start with a completly new emunand instead of my old one to prevent any problems from happening?

Also do you happen to know what caused my switch to act so weird? just so i can be more carefull in the future

And i can't thank you enough for all your help I don't know what i would do without you. You're a lifesaver!
