Use their autoxbins program, it's better than trying to manually log in with an external FTP app.
Well that makes a lot of sense! Is there any to optimize the rawnand for storage, then, without storing an unencrypted version?
i just saw it on screenshots (sdmc:\fimrs\) and i didn´t quite understand how to prevent gc update when i want to go higher than 3.0.2 (my current fw) ? can you please explain ?
So I just went through this and all SEEMS to be working but I have a couple questions and apologize in advance if I missed reading something.
1) After ChoiDujourNX was done it asked me to reboot. I did and all I was greeted with was a blank screen. I then put in my jig and was able to boot hekate but the only two boot options I had were "stock_DANGEROUS" & "PreventGCUpdate". Did I miss a step? I was able to restore my old hekate_ipl.ini from the hekate_ipl.ini.bak and the normal options were restored. From there I was able to select CFW and confirm I was on the newer version.
2) My switch now no longer boots normally using the power button. I think I read in your FAQ that I will need to use a non-nintendo bootloader with my jig each time so perhaps this is par for the course? If I ever want to revert back to my previous version of system update can I get the switch to power on normally again like it used to? Or is this irreversible and I am forever now tied to using a jig?
No fault of this homebrew tool but when I do power on the switch without using the jig the screen just stays off waiting for a payload, it's too bad there is not some power indicator so I don't accidentally leave my switch on in this state.
Thanks for all your work! I really appreciate it!

1) This is normal. The black screen is because AutoRCM is enabled to ensure you do not burn fuses by booting stock firmware.
2) If you ever boot stock firmware (with AutoRCM off,) you will burn your fuses, making you unable to downgrade. If you wish to downgrade, you have to System Initialize / Format your console beforehand.
If you do not wish to use AutoRCM you can use a jig. But if you EVER accidentally boot the stock firmware, you will never be able to go back, period.
If you are worried your Switch is left on, make sure to hold the Power button for 12 seconds and it will forcefully shut off, so long as it is not hooked up to a charger. Connecting a USB while it's off will boot it into RCM again.
So if I downgrade to a version that matches my fuses I can then boot normally to the stock firmware right?
Any thoughts on the hekate menu only having those two options after this process?
Thanks, that clears everything up. I did panic when after rebooting all I saw was a black screen but injected a payload and it was fine after, I guess the tool is pretty new so there is no dummy tutorial yet that would normally warn a newb like me to send a payload over. My switch was already on 4.0.0+ from the factory so I just restored the previous menu options and booted the CFW normally.
Again thanks for all of your hard work!!
where do i put the "kip1patch=nogc" ? do i have to write that in the ini ? for each firmware version ?
and where do i get the replacement file for each firmware ? and for example for firmware 4.1.0 do i then write FS_410_nogc.kip1 or FS_4.1.0_nogc.kip1 ? and with full path where it is located ? like sdmc:/firms/nx 4.1.0-0/FS_XXX_nogc.kip1 ?
sorry, i really do not understand how to prevent gc update

Use RajNX. Everything is already set up properly.

@Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons. -
@
SylverReZ:
Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.

Man, that's beyond my brain I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though -

@Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.+1

@
SylverReZ:
Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.

Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha

@Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.+1
