Tutorial  Updated

Backup/Restore your Nand + Get your biskeys+tseckeys+keys.txt Guide

This Multi-Guide provides instruction for the following:

Back up your NAND,
Backup your system information,
Restore your NAND,
Make exFAT work on lower system versions


Please read and follow the following disclaimer before attempting to follow this guide:

Only use the files attached, I update these when needed to ensure that they are functioning. Failure to use the attached files may result in issues.

I take no responsibility for issues you may have as a result of the use of the files or instructions contained within these guides. You execute this/these guide(s) at your own risk. I'm happy to help with any questions. Please review the comments and answers on this thread as well. I try to provide assistance when requested.

Before any modification of your system, I recommend you back-up your NAND (to make yourself a clean back-up and/or a virgin NAND). Don’t use Auto RCM until after you complete your back-up.

To follow the below guides, you will need the following:
  • A micro SD card formatted to exFAT or FAT32 with at least 32 GB of free space
  • All files attached at end of this guide, extracted to your PC
  • Fully charged Switch (or the ability to keep the Switch plugged into a power source during the restore process)
  • USB to USB-c cable (short is better)
This guide assumes you have some method of entering into RCM. (e.g. RCM jig installed or shorting pins 1+10 on the Joy-Con rail.)
You may also run the "Hekate.bin" from your own dongle or method from the
"Payloads to be used with tegra.zip" if you do not wish to use TegraGUI



For Fat32 users only >>Join RawNand Parts Mini Guide
Download this first click here > >joiner_scripts_for_windows_linux_macos.zip
to combine the 15 parts or 30 parts of rawnand00.bin etc into 1 rawnand.bin file
Place the correct script into the folder where you have the 15 or 30 parts backed up.
example
If you have 15 parts rawnand files use the join_15_2GBparts_linux_macosx.bat For Mac
or for windows use the join_15_2GBparts_windows.bat
Simply move the desired script that matches your system windows or mac 15 or 30 parts to the folder where you have your rawnand in parts 15 or 30 double click the bat file and it will merge/join those into one file called rawnand.bin
Backup Guide

In order to run the "Hekate.bin", you first need to setup and install a payload sender and the apx driver. I have provided an application (TegraRcmGUI) in the zip files at the end of this post.


You may also run the "Hekate.bin" from your own dongle or method from the "Payloads to be used with tegra.zip" if you do not wish to use TegraGUI



Steps for this are as follows:
  1. Extract TegraRcmGUI_v#.#_Installer.zip on your PC and install

  2. In TegraRcmGUI, select the “Settings” tab and then click “Install Driver”
    tegragui.png



  3. Place the contents of “SDFILES PART 1.zip” and “SDFILES PART 2.zip” and also “SDFILES PART 3.zip” onto the root of the SD card
    - Remember to format your 32 GB SD card to exFAT or FAT32 first

  4. Place the SD card into the Switch

  5. Put your Switch into RCM by holding volume up + power
    - Click this link for instructions for entering >RCM<

  6. With TegraRcmGUI open, connect the Switch to the PC
    - Before injecting, the Switch Icon will change to green and indicate “RCM OK” if Switch was
    connected correctly in RCM mode


  7. In TegraRcmGUI: Payload tab, navigate to the location of the hekate.bin on your PC and Inject payload
    (the hekate.bin is in the payloads to be used with tegra.zip)

    - The Switch Icon in TegraRcmGUI will change to orange hourglass during injection
    - If payload is sent correctly, Switch Icon in TegraRcmGUI will change to green checkmark
    - If the payload is not sent, try using a different (shorter) cable and repeat from step 5.

  8. Switch will automatically boot into Hekate bootloader (steps 9-24 take place on the Switch)

  9. From the hekate main menu, select “Console Info”
    qAGf4GB.png



  10. Select “Ipatches & bootrom info” (this isn’t in the screenshot above but should be in the Hekate Console info menu.)

  11. Follow the instructions to dump to SD card

  12. Return to Console info menu

  13. Repeat steps 10-12 for “Print fuse info”, “Print kfuse info” and “Print TSEC keys”

  14. Return to Hekate main menu (by selecting “Back” at the top)

  15. From the hekate main menu, Select “Tools”
    DvXS7dy.png



  16. Select “Dump package1/2” and allow this to run

  17. When complete, return to Tools menu

  18. “Select “Backup”
    pK6vWea.png



  19. Select “Backup eMMC BOOT0/1” and allow this to run

  20. When complete, return to “Backup options” menu (by selecting “Back” at the top)

  21. Repeat steps 19 & 20, selecting “Backup eMMC RAW GPP”, “Backup eMMC SYS” & “Backup eMMC USER” instead of “Backup eMMC BOOT0/1”
    - These may take some time so be patient. The result will be a
    - dump of Full NAND Minus the boot0/1


    - (I RECOMMEND YOU BACKUP EMMC SYS , YOU WILL NEED A EXTRA 2.61GB ON SD CARD FOR THIS..
    Used so you can recover switch in case of bad rawnand)
    ANOTHER COPY OF YOUR SYS FILES THE SAME IN YOUR RAWNAND.BIN Basically



    - (Backing up EMMC USER is Your Choice as it requires 26gb Extra)
    Used to backup your User files saves games etc


    emmc user and emmc sys are in your rawnand.bin > (eMMC RAW GPP)



  22. Return to Hekate main menu (by selecting “Back” at the top)


  23. From the hekate main menu, Select “Launch”
    SB5LCUe.jpg



  24. Select “BisKeyDump" from the Tools section

  25. Your keys will display on the screen. Follow the onscreen instructions to dump keys to SD card
    - Resulting file, on the root of the SD card, will be named device.keys
    - Rename to “biskeys.txt” if you wish.

  26. With TegraRcmGUI open, connect the Switch to the PC

  27. In TegraRcmGUI: Payload tab, navigate to the location of the Lockpick_RCM.bin on your PC and Inject payload... (Lockpick_RCM.bin is in the payloads to be used with tegra.zip)
    - You should now be presented with a freaking rainbow
    - It will automatically dump your keys to your SD card to the "switch folder" the file will be named "prod.keys"

  28. Press the power button on your switch.
    - Once powered off remove your SD card and put it into your pc.
    -You can now close Tegra and remove USB cable from switch to pc, if still connected.

You could also read the exFAT guide on my main post if you're having trouble running CFW or accessing Homebrew menu to update your lower system version to have exFAT support


If you have an error when trying to use Goldleaf, please try the Goldleaf Error Guide below.
If you don't, you can skip Goldleaf Error Guide


Goldleaf error guide
A Big Thanks @shchmue for sorting out the bugs and for her work on the Goldleaf issues.

Ensure you have a complete set of dump files:


Dump all the console info using the payload I included hekate.bin
(the hekate.bin is in the payloads to be used with tegra.zip)


  1. From the hekate main menu, select “Console Info”



    - Console Info -> Print fuse info -> Press power button
    - Console Info -> Print kfuse info -> Press power button
    - Console Info -> Print TSEC keys -> Press power button

  2. From the hekate main menu, Select “Tools"


    - Tools -> Backup -> Backup eMMC BOOT0/1

    - Tools -> Dump package1/2
  3. Ensure all of the following files are on your SD card:
    - /switch/Goldleaf.nro

  4. In the backup folder on the SD card, inside the letter and number folder, open folder dumps. Confirm the following files are present:


    - fuses.bin
    - kfuses.bin
    - tsec_key.bin


    If you’re missing one of the above .bin files, follow the Console Info instructions (above) to dump them again.
  5. In the pckg1 and pckg 2 folders on the SD card, confirm the following files are present:


    pckg1 folder
    - nxloader.bin

    - pkg1_decr.bin
    - secmon.bin
    - warmboot.bin

    pckg2 folder
    - ini1.bin
    - kernel.bin
    - pkg2_decr.bin


    If you’re missing one of the above .bin files, follow the Tools -> Dump package 1/2 instructions (above) to dump them again.
  6. On the SD Root, confirm the following files are present:


    - Boot0
    - Boot1
  7. In the backup random number letters folder, confirm the above files are present as well.



    If you’re missing one of the above files, follow the Tools -> backup emmc BOOT0/1 instructions (above) to dump them again.

    If they are missing from one location or the other, they can be copied to the location where they are missing.
Try the Goldleaf.nro again


Before you continue



It has come to my attention that some windows 10 operating systems with builds 1507/1511/1607 will experience an issue transferring nand or switch system files from PC to your SD card or Switch. This issue results in missing bits in the copies of the archive bits, needed for the switch to operate correctly or restore of nand to work.

Our member here @Draxzelex was nice to point this out :teach:, so I thought I would add it to the guide.

If you’re on one of the affected versions of Windows 10, before transferring your files, it is recommended to use a third party application called Total commander to transfer the backups to your SD card or even when you’re moving the backup folders on PC

To check your windows 10 version:

Go to windows search by clicking the windows key (start)

Search for ‘about your PC’ in the search bar, and select ‘About your PC’ in the search results

On the right-hand side scroll down to Windows Specifications

In this section, you will see your build version

If you are above build 1607 you can ignore this information in blue.
If you are not above version 1607 then either please use Windows Update to update your build or use Total commander to move your backups around your PC or to SD card


Instead of using Total commander, you could try a method of using a compression zip/rar program like WinRAR to archive or compress the backup folder on your SD before you even think about transferring to PC, and when you go to move backup back to SD card transfer your zip or RAR to SD then extract it from there
clip_image002.png
(Not tested )



You may Continue


29. On your PC make a folder where you're going to place your backup switch nand and files



30. If you used lockpick to backup your prod.keys then Open your SD card on your PC and copy the prod.keys from the switch folder on the SD card to the folder.



31. Copy the entire backup folder from SD card to your backup folder on PC.



32. Please zip or rar the backup folder once you have transferred it on your PC
this will also save space.



Also, save the biskey.txt and prod.keys You made earlier to your backup folder
Once you backed up to your PC

And that's it.


I hope this may of helped you all or i just wasted hours of my life here


You can skip the guide below if your only backing up your nand and keys

Restore Nand Guide
I take no responsibility for issues you may have or if your system fails to boot after restoring your NAND.
You do this at your own risk!

Please make sure to read the blue text in my Backup guide above when you made your backup

To follow the below guide, you will need the following:

Make sure your battery is charged (at least enough to complete the restore process) or keep the switch plugged into a power source (USB cable should be fine)

Restoring your nand.....

Providing you have followed my guide above to back-up your NAND, you should have the 3 required files in your backup folder
(Plus some other files we won't be using for your restore)


- boot 0

- boot 1

- rawnand.bin

If you do not have these files please do not continue

  1. From your number and letters folder inside the backup folder on pc, copy the below files to the restore folder on your SD card


    - Boot 0
    - Boot 1
    - rawnand.bin



    Example on sd card
    inside The folder on SD card Backup>numberletter folder>restore folder <....place files here...
  2. Place the SD card into the Switch

  3. Put your Switch into Rcm Mode

  4. Boot into the hekate bootloader *Hekate.bin* By using tegrarcmsmashGUI
    SB5LCUe.jpg


  5. From the bootloader hekate main screen, select tools option with the volume +/- buttons and press power button to select




  6. In the tools section, Select Restore
    DvXS7dy.png





  7. In the restore options screen, select “Restore eMMC BOOT 0/1”
    - You will be warned and asked if you are sure. To continue, press the power button and wait for the process to finish.
    - Once finished press any key to go back (do not power off at any time)

    cwvD6Db.png





  8. Still in the restore options screen, select “Restore eMMC RAW GPP”
    - You will be warned and asked if you are sure. To continue, press the power button and wait for the process to finish. This will take some time.

    - Once finished press any key to go back (do not power off at any time)
    cwvD6Db.png





    Now assuming all the processes went smoothly and you got no errors you should now be restored!
  9. Go back to the Hekate main menu by selecting back
    SB5LCUe.jpg





  10. On the main menu select power off.




  11. Reboot your switch as normal with the power button


If all went well, you should now see the Nintendo logo and should boot back into the main OS of the switch.


Well done you successfully restored your NAND!!

Did you sh*t your pants ??? :shit::lol:



Again I take no responsibility For backing up and or restoring your NAND, this is a dangerous process and you do it at your own risk.

Thanks, and have a good day!

Exfat Update Guide For
Lower System Versions
At this time I have not made the exFAT guide myself so until I do I thought I’d link to another exFAT guide,
Please like his thread if it helps you and mine if you like the information I’ve provided


Method 1 (Not as easy but doable)
Method 1 Link
Method 2 (A lot easier)
Method 2 Link



Info taken from Method 2


Q: I just want to install exFAT on the current firmware version I already have. Can I do this using ChoiDujourNX?


A: Absolutely, just place a folder containing the exFAT version of the firmware you are currently running and choose it inside ChoiDujourNX. It will only install the required couple of packages needed for exFAT, and you can even disable the AutoRCM option (if you are sure the firmware you are installing is the same burned fuse count as the one you are currently running).

If i have helped you, Or you like my post
Then Please hit that like button it will help me a'lot thank you

i'm curious to see your log.txt if you could PM it to me but you probably have a useful keys.txt in /switch/kezplez-nx already nonetheless. that error is pretty cryptic, i've never seen it before and there's not even any info in ReS discord... it means your display service failed, so i hope nothing is wrong with your hardware.
screen timeout maybe ? sleeptimer for screen ?

I'd happily send the log.txt if needed.
Also, how would I know if I've got a useful keys.txt?

That's interesting about the display service. It's never failed before, but only seems to do it at that point in the process. I've had the switch for under a month from new, so it's not down to wear anyway.

If I can't get it working, is there anyway to manually extract the keys?

Thanks for the help so far.

no, I tried lots of things but no luck, kezplez released a version for lower firmwares, but it gaves me error on the end of dumping key progress, for now I made emunand with sxos and updated it to 6.0.
I'm avoid to do anything on my real fw, before dumping keys.

Well if you error at the end of the process then you prob have all the keys you can get anyway, i have noticed that on lower systems, you get less keys then someone on a higher system anyway..

ALSO GUYS you can get you keys.txt at anytime any system version, and your get more keys the higher system version you try it on..

@shchmue seem to be having issues with low system versions still.

thanks for answering, I got a few files in kezplez-nx folder but I couldn't get any keys.txt file in root of my sd card, so is that normal or not, I'm confused...

there will always be a keys.txt in the /switch/kezplez-nx folder and if it has >80 keys you’re fine. and no canna, every version you run it on dumps all the current keys even from higher firmwares. the only way that’s not the case is if someone is using a pre-6.0 release of kezplez.

i'm currently doing a complete ground-up rewrite of the program and when that's done i'll test it on lower firmwares to provide an alternative to some of the quirky problems this has had.

in the meantime, if you're itching to get your keys and you already did the backups from this guide, just use HACGUI, which runs on the computer instead: https://github.com/shadowninja108/HACGUI/releases

So, a few months ago, I dumped my TSEC key on 5.1.0, but now when I use kezplez-nx to dump my keys it crashed with 2168-0002 error. I decided to dump the TSEC key for the second time (updated to 6.0.0) but it couldn't dump the TSEC key, all it showed was this screen:
PDpfqfW.jpg
so I decided to dump package1 again, and it stuck on this screen:
t58C8rz.jpg
with only file pkg1_decr.bin has 256KB, while nxloader.bin, secmon.bin and warmboot.bin has 0KB.
I've also included the pkg1.rar file for analyzing.

What hekate version are you using ? did you use the hekate and sdfiles from my guide ?

Use my latest files and payloads if you have not already

I did, but that was months ago so I guess it was outdated. After downloading your latest files it works again and I was able to dump all the keys.
Thanks for your help.

Hello could you please help me with the kezplez part of the tutorial.
I have my NAND Backups and am at the last step. So far everything worked fine but my Switch crashes on the Kezplez part at 1/15.

My Switch FW is 4.1
I used all the files that you attached.
The error Code my Switch crashes with is : 2011-0301

My dumped Boot files are in the root folder of the SD.
The key files:
  • fuses.bin
  • kfuses.bin
  • tsec_key.bin
are in /backup/randomnumbers/dumps

the package files are in /backup/RANDOMNUMBERS/pkg1 and /backup/RANDOMNUMBERS/pkg2
the both have the files needed in them.

The logfile contains the following after crashing:

can you check kezplez github page, it has a version for older firmwares and can you change your sd card files to new release you can find it on github too

Is the kezplez version to high for my FW?
So if I use an older version .should I get the official one or the fork

Hello could you please help me with the kezplez part of the tutorial.
I have my NAND Backups and am at the last step. So far everything worked fine but my Switch crashes on the Kezplez part at 1/15.

My Switch FW is 4.1
I used all the files that you attached.
The error Code my Switch crashes with is : 2011-0301

My dumped Boot files are in the root folder of the SD.
The key files:
  • fuses.bin
  • kfuses.bin
  • tsec_key.bin
are in /backup/randomnumbers/dumps

the package files are in /backup/RANDOMNUMBERS/pkg1 and /backup/RANDOMNUMBERS/pkg2
the both have the files needed in them.

The logfile contains the following after crashing:

general application initialization
locating dumps...
loading in tsec and sbk
opening tsec and sbk
old tsec path: /backup/RANDOMNUMBERS/dumps/tsec_key.bin, new tsec path: /backup/RANDOMNUMBERS/dumps/tsec_keys.bin, and fuse path: /backup/RANDOMNUMBERS/dumps/fuses.bin

Thanks in advance

if it stopped there it’s failing to copy files on your sd card which sounds like corruption tbh. try copying everything off your sd and reformatting or try a different sd altogether

you know what? i just realized kezplez probably can't work on 1.0 because it looks for the sd keys which don't exist and it doesn't handle failure well :x

Here's my situation. I did a rawnand backup but forgot to do the boot0/1 backup. Since then I ran some NSPs on my device. Now I would like to restore my rawnand backup without boot0/1. Will I get banned if I restore just the rawnand and then go online? Remember I didn't make any boot0/1 backup. Am I safe?

should be fine. won't look weird unless you updated firmware using ChoiDujour while offline.
