Did you compile these boot files yourself or are they stock?
(They weren’t ready for prime time last time I check with #switchroot guys.)

These are the stock Bootfiles.
Makinbacon changed the boot.scr click
but I prefer to send the files and the folder structure with it so that there are no problems

mkimage -A arm -T script -O linux -d <input file> boot.scr

Going to try it...

Whoops I didn't notice you responded because it was on the 2nd page :/
Anyway it looked like lineage os booted and works just fine! there seems to be a mouse toggle feature with the capture button, cool! also, is there a way I can play NVidia games on it? and thank you so much for the tips and files as I always wanted a second android device!

yeah, been having lots of fun with it.

there is a bug where after I installed the latest linage os update, it still thinks there's an update even though I already installed that update. also my WIFI stopped working an hour ago, how do I go about fixing that?

if a reboot to Hekate and back doesn't help, I don't know what to do either. it's best to register in the switchroot discord, the pros can certainly help you.

Do you have AutoRCM turned on?

Hold power down for 15 seconds.

Power on and try to inject a payload with the injector of your choice.
(If you use TegraRcmGUI on your PC you will be able to tell if your Switch is alive and just waiting for a payload)

I do, ill try that.
edit: after a few attempts it seems like it worked, and the battery is completely drained, Probably because my Bluetooth mouse was connected to it yesterday night. also, do you know know I can have Wi-Fi enabled while in sleep?

WLAN is completely deactivated in sleep mode so that the battery lasts longer. if you want the WiFi to stay on, you just need to connect a charger. so the console doesn't go to sleep mode.

ah ok, will it be kept turned on while docked?

also, I found the issue about my switch not turning on, it seems after selecting shutdown the switch goes to RCM mode, is that an autoRCM thing?

 

[evil_santa]

Yes

Yes it's from auto RCM, best is to boot to Hekate and shutdown from there.

ooh thanks, i sometimes wanna shutdown my switch, but don't wanna "hack the mainframe" (terga rcm payload) evertime to turn in it back on.

hi, can you send me the link or file to the flashable image and some basic instructions ? i also do not plan to use my Switch original os (horizon os), so its totally fine if thats wiped.

(This is the new ac of the android switchNAND storage guy, I lost the old ac email somehow so I'm using this ac now)

Is there a way to get my switch back to stock HorizonOS? my switch has a purple screen on it now when I turned on because I installed switchrootLOS to the internal storage awhile ago and lost/wiped the SD card I dont have a NAND backup so now what do I do to get the stock switch os back?

my partition on the left(previous lineage os install on nand) doesn't line up with his partition on the right(unmodified switch nand)

Ok you need to follow the level 3 guide

UPDATE: check the 3rd page for my update after following the video you sent me

Oh ok. I was trying to recreate the original partition by wiping the Nand ( I have a backup before I did this) and making identical fat16/unformatted partitions like he has in the video, but I couldn't shrink it below 8mb and I figured this probably wouldn't work.
So I'll try this video instead then thanks.
