Sorry guys i have a problem:i downloaded ATM 1.4.0 and fusee.bin from Github,but when i update and start the Switch it tells me that fusee.bin is not the correct version,luckily you can downgrade to 1.3.2 and everything is back to work.
I wanted to know if anyone who updated had the same problem.

Nope. It works fine for me.

@BaamAlex ,what procedure did you do?

@BaamAlex ,what procedure did you do?

I updated atmosphere, hekate and the sigpatches. That's all. Oh yeah, i use always the hekate payload. Not the one from atmosphere.

@BaamAlex ,i use Rekado and have Hekate 5.8.0,but when update ATM 1.4.0 and reboot the Switch,it tells me to press power because fusee.bin is not the correct version and i downloaded it in the same place where there is ATM 1.4.0 master etc ... and i have made modfing and installations of ATM in many Switches i don't know this never happened.

1. Yes, you can install Switch games using .NSP/.XCI files using something like TinWoo Installer instead
2. Switch is region-free
3. I would recommend updating to 14.1.2 instead of 15.0 since 15.0 is still new so CFW and homebrew are still unstable

Hi everyone. Having an issue. Getting a message that says "error: missing warmboot,bin or secmon.bin. These are required'.

I have deleted the folders as stated here on rentry and updated the fusee on my oneloader and the switch's sd card.

I cannot get past this image regardless of what I try.

I got here as when I would click on a game it would say something like "back", "Install Update" and "Launch Software". I clicked the update one by accident.

Don't follow that guide. Its not very good. I highly recommend following this guide instead. Not only was it the first Switch hacking guide to be released but its been updated regularly as the scene progressed.

 

[peji911]

I've actually tried that one too but nothing mentions the Error that appears unfortunately.

If you are using RCM, did you update your injector's payload.bin with the latest version?


A warmboot issue is mentioned here: https://rentry.org/SwitchFAQ

Failed To Determine WarmBoot Firmware​

---

If you get this error, boot into hekate, then go to launch and press on Warmboot Error Fix.
You will boot into SysNAND. From there reboot back to hekate and launch your custom firmware.

If you do not have the Warmboot Error Fix entry in your launch menu, then go to your /bootloader/ folder and add this entry to your hekate_ipl.ini file:

1 2 3 4 5

Hi, I'm still bad with the terminology but I use the little dongle thing. I updated fusee.

I did add that line of code to the .ini file to no avail.

When it says boot into hekate, what does that mean exactly? Do I remove the fusee file from the RCMLoader and the Payloads folder on the microSD and put in the Hekate instead?

Thank you for the help

Great.

Please post your /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini file here.

Does your injector look like this?



If so, try adding Hekate.x.x.x.bin (renamed as payload.bin) to your injector instead.

Booting into Hekate will give you a screen that looks like this:



This will allow you to click Launch and then select the boot option you want. If you followed the guide you should have a warmboot option.

 

[peji911]

Yeah, my loader looks like that (might be older, though

I have the same dongle/injector so steps are correct. If you copied hekate.x.x.x.bin to payload.bin and put it in the /Atmosphere folder of the injector and then made sure you injected the BLUE option on your RCMLoader (hold down for a few seconds to rotate the available colors) you should be good.

As for ”won’t boot”, you are likely in RCM mode and are not injecting what you expect to inject so it’s just sitting there.
Hold the power button on your Switch down for 12 seconds to completely shut everything off and start from the beginning.

we’re close…hang in there.

Hi, I have an ipatch switch on firmware 4.1.0 and I've been using pegascape to launch cfw but in the past couple of weeks, it doesn't work as it gives "Error: 2807-1035 Unable to display page" after clicking on launch pegaswitch. Does this happens to anyone else or is it just me?

never used it, might get a quicker answer from their discord or github.

Hi! I have a question about transferring saves from a modded Switch to an unmodded one:

My only goal is to get my Royal save from PS4 onto my Switch. If I borrow my friend’s v1, mod it, load the save onto my account there, can I then safely transfer that via the OFW save transfer to my unmodded switch?

I thought it would be that simple but I found old threads cautioning against that because it could get your Switch banned. So can a save I hacked in be moved to a normal switch, or does it have to stay on hacked switches?

My only purpose is this transfer - no pirating, no emu, nothing else. I read something about if I keep the sysnand clean? Or avoid emunand entirely then the save wouldn’t flag on my normal Switch?

Obviously a noob here. Really appreciate your help!

assuming you have a hackable v1, and own a copy of Royal.

im not versed on how you plan on getting your ps4 save to switch but assuming thats possible.
throw save on sd card.
load sd card with atmosphere, and jksv.
boot syscfw
now just restore the save while in SYSCFW.

then just boot ofw and use regular save transfer function. just make sure you have the same profile on both switches.

If thats ALL you do in syscfw, 99.9% chance you wont ever get banned for it. theres always a risk but its so minimal with just running a basic hb apps in syscfw. Iv done way worse and been fine for 4+yrs now
