    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    well i do not have the tools to do it and i would be willing to pay someone a fee to dump the contents of the emmc. they can keep the emmc as well if they want, i just need the files to restore my switch online functionality. if i got to pay 30 bucks and wait 10 years for an adapter to get here...

    restore serial in prodinfo.dec with nxnandmanager?

    i just tried to put the original emmc back in it and it wont even read it at all. everything i try to do is failed to init emmc. so it most def has some problems reading the flash package. guess i need to figure out what is causing it. but atleast, for now, and thanks to the wonderful...

    restore serial in prodinfo.dec with nxnandmanager?

    it really makes you wonder why they would make a board that has the emmc socket on one side and sd card on the other side, then sell you an sd card to usb adapter lol. like why not just make it emmc port to usb xd

    restore serial in prodinfo.dec with nxnandmanager?

    i do still have the other original emmc module. maybe somehow i can dum,p it with that. i have a feeling though that there is going to be a failed component on the little pcb or maybe the emmc solder connections are severely degraded or corroded. what would be the best option to try and dump...

    restore serial in prodinfo.dec with nxnandmanager?

    so i guess even if i were able to edit that, it would probably still result in a ban because it is not a complete prodinfo. well it is booting and working great so far. i think ill just go ahead and reassemble it and call it good enough for now. does anyone know of a good contact glue for...

    restore serial in prodinfo.dec with nxnandmanager?

    no, but i see another option maybe with hekate->payloads->prodinfo_gen.bin and then select the from scratch option and it generates a "generated_prodinfo_from_scratch.bin". maybe somehow i can use this to get eshop back working. ill keep looking. if i am successful i will come back here, or if...

    restore serial in prodinfo.dec with nxnandmanager?

    i didnt even have a nand backup, or any other backup. lockpick dumps prod.keys and then you can use nxnandmanager to decrypt a donor raw nand, but you need donor prodinfo.dec and donor prod.keys to decrypt the donor raw nand. once it is decrypted i think you can edit the .dec files aka...

    restore serial in prodinfo.dec with nxnandmanager?

    ok well, i edited prodinfo.dec and added my serial thats printed at the bottom of the switch. i opened the prodinfo.dec with HxD and searched for "XAW" then wrote my serial in place of the zeroed out one. then used encrypt.bat and then flash.bat. the resulting rawnand opened in nxnandmanagerx64...

    restore serial in prodinfo.dec with nxnandmanager?

    i didnt use incognito, i restored the switch without having any nand backup or any backup at all. but the serial is zeroed out in system settings. i have the serial from the bottom of the switch and i can see an entry for serial number ('XAW100000000') in prodinfo.dec but i didnt know if it...
