Update Atmosphere, Hekate, and payloads. Then download the latest fw files, place the files in a folder named firmware on your sd card, use Daybreak to install. If you use any homebrew apps you'll have to update those as well as the versions made for 16 won't work on the lastest fw. You'll also need to dump the latest keys to your sd card using lockpick.

Thread 'Preliminary list of updated homebrew apps and tools for FW 21.0.0 | AMS 1.10.0 | Please add your findings!!!'

UPDATING TO NEW FIRMWARE 21.0.0 IS NOT RECOMMENDED. THERE ARE COMPATIBILITY ISSUES WITH A LOT OF HOMEBREW APPS.

UPDATED APPS for new firmware 21.0.0 (download the MODDED files if there is no official release for FW 21.0.0). USE the modded files with CAUTION. Not all modded apps have been tested.

YOU CAN USE THIS TOOL TO AUTOMATICALLY PATCH your NRO and OVL files to support FW 21.0.0

MAIN TOOLS:
Hekate: Here.
Atmosphère: Here.
sys-patch module: Here.

OTHER TOOLS:
Ultrahand Overlay: Here.

Homebrew Tutorial  Thread 'Ultimate guide to upgrade your firmware/Atmosphère'

ONLY UPDATE YOUR CONSOLE TO 2x.x.x IF ALL THE HOMEBREW YOU USE IS UPGRADED




Sometimes you need to upgrade your console, upgrade the firmware or upgrade Atmosphère, using the @l7777 's guide (https://gbatemp.net/threads/updating-hekate-atmosphere-and-hos.631739/) as base I hope to create a list of necessary steps to successful upgrade your console.

This guide uses Hekate, if you don't want to use Hekate skip the steps about it. You may loose some features.




Make a backup.​

Always make a full backup of your console, so if...​

yes, summary:

  • backup your card,
  • delete atmosphere and bootloader folders.
  • install new downloaded atmosphère and hekate
  • restore or recreate your configs.
  • install only sysmodules/mods/cheats you need
  • install new version of homebrew you use.
The idea is start over and do not carry bad/wrong/outdated config/software. and now you know exactly what is in your setup.

Sorry for the stupid question, but which firmware version is currently recommended to update to? 🙏
Click to expand...
if you're below any of these versions go to the one you care about:

19.0.1 (if you absolutely insist on using a million custom sysmodules and mod games with memory intensive mods) + atmosphere 1.9.5
20.5.0 if you are a tinfoil user + atmosphere 1.9.5 ( and have come to terms with that you shouldn't be using custom sysmodules that you gain absolutely nothing from, no cosmetic or vanity allowed )
22.5.0 if you don't care about any of the things listed above + latest atmosphere (1.11.2)

Thank you so much for the reply!! 🙏

I haven't updated my Switch in ages. I'm currently running Atmosphere 1.4.1 with Firmware 15.0.1, so it's really outdated😅

I honestly don't mod my Switch very much. One of the main reasons I want to update is so I can run newer games and finally use Fizeau. For some reason, Fizeau doesn't work on my current setup.
