How to setup Emunand/ keep Sysnand online

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Aiming of having Emunand in this topic is to max out Sysnand to play online while Emunand stays offline

IF YOUR SYSTEM WAS BANNED YOU'D STOP READING FROM HERE
> DO NOT check whether you're got banned yet by connecting to the Internet or so.

There is always at least a risk to get you banned or unlikely to brick your Switch.
YOU'RE AT YOUR OWN RISK
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES OR BAN.


> Backup RawNand and BOOT0/1 using SX Bootloader, Hekate or any trusted tools out there

1. NEW EMUNAND
YOU HAVE TO RE-INSTALL ALL GAMES AFTER CREATING EMUNAND
> Backup all your savedata using Checkpoint or your trusted homebrew.
Follow these steps below
  1. CLEAN UP SYSNAND
  2. UPDATE SYSNAND FIRMWARE
  3. CREATE EMUNAND
  4. UPDATE EMUNAND FIRMWARE OFFLINE (if needed)
    to update your emunand to the latest firmware
2. KEEP DATA TO TRANSFER TO EMUNAND
> Backup all your savedata using Checkpoint or your trusted homebrew.
Follow these steps below
  1. CREATE EMUNAND
  2. CLEAN UP SYSNAND
  3. UPDATE SYSNAND FIRMWARE
  4. UPDATE EMUNAND FIRMWARE OFFLINE (if needed)
    to update your emunand to the latest firmware

This guide is valid until the next update of NSW firmware or SX OS.
> Current NSW firmware: 6.1
> Current SX OS version: 2.3 Beta

> AutoRCM must be Uninstalled > Functional Jig is needed
> Delete all Wifi Profiles
> NEW EMUNAND > Delete Nintendo folder in your SD
> KEEP DATA > Rename Nintendo folder in your SD to Emutendo
> Copy boot.dat (SX 2.3 Beta) to the root of your SD

CLEAN UP SYSNAND
Skip this step if your Switch is a brand new one or never ever been hacked.

+ Unnecessary steps but it will let you feel safer
Access NAND using PC

What you will need
- biskeydump
https://files.sshnuke.net/biskeydumpv6.zip
Run the payload and write down (or scan QRCode) Bis Key 2
BIS KEY 2 (crypt): NUMBERS
BIS KEY 2 (tweak): NUMBERS

- memloader
https://files.sshnuke.net/memloaderv2.zip
Copy *.* in [sample] folder to SD and plug it in the Switch
Run the payload [memloader.bin]
Unplug any USB cable
> Choose emmc line
> Plug USB C <> USB A cable to the Switch and PC

- HacDiskMount
https://files.sshnuke.net/HacDiskMount1055.zip
Run the tool under Administrator permission
> Open Physical Disk > Choose Linux line
> Double click on SYSTEM and fill BisKeys2 in the small table on top
Crysto > BIS KEY 2 (crypt): NUMBERS
Tweak > BIS KEY 2 (tweak): NUMBERS
> Press on [Test] > you will get OK! Entropy
> From Drive Letter table > Choose a drive disk, N for example.
> Press on [Mount]
Install driver if needed.
Acess N drive from My Computer

+ Clean Ticketblob
> access save folder
> Copy 80000000000000e1 and 80000000000000e2 to your PC.
> Delete them in save folder

+ Clean Error Logs
> access save folder
> Delete 80000000000000D1

> Press on [Unmount] and unplug the USB cable
> Press on [Power] button for 15s or so to reboot the system

+ Factory Restore Settings
> This will clean all ticketblob and error logs
Stay OFFLINE
> Settings > System > Factory Restore Settings (or System Initializing)
> Say NO when asking Internet connection
> Press on on the red button after all to restore.

UPDATE SYSNAND FIRMWARE
Skip this step if your Switch is up to date.

Complete the system initializing
> Connect Wifi to the Internet
> Optional > Create a new account and link it
> Settings > System > System Update
> Update your system to the latest firmware

Optional > Factory Restore Settings while staying ONLINE to make it completely cleans up.

DELETE ALL WIFI CONNECTION AND STAY AIRPLANE MODE.
> After creating Emunand, it must have NO CONNECTION.

CREATE EMUNAND
SD card must be plugged in to the system in order to boot SX OS Bootloader Menu

> On SX 2.3 Beta, the Emunand will be created on the SD card, the SX's Nintendo folder is renamed to Emutendo so that it won't affect to the keyblobs that can wipe out data on SD.

> Boot to SX OS Bootloader Menu (payload.bin) by holding [Vol+] button
> Option
> EmuNAND
> Advanced
> [Copy USER partition to EmuNAND] > [YES]
The process will take about 30 minutes if the system is now empty.

You will get Success

> Back to the main menu (3 big buttons)
> Turn on Emunand (on top of the first button)

> Turn off the system


UPDATE EMUNAND FIRMWARE OFFLINE
> ChoiDujourNX https://files.sshnuke.net/ChoiDujourNXv101.zip
> Copy ChoiDujourNX.nro to \switch\ in your SD
> Download new firmware update
> Place all files to a folder, fwxxx for example
> Run ChoiDujourNX form Homebrew Menu on Emunand
> Choose fwxxx folder
It will load all NCAs inside of the folder and will ask you
[x.x.x] or [x.x.x-exfat]
Choose one
It will continually analyze the data and will ask you
> Choose [Select Firmware]
It will read all the data from your chosen firmware
> Press on Prevent fuse burning (enable AutoRCM) to turn it off (we don't need AutoRCM when having Sysnand for online purpose), Press on Yes when it asks again.
If you'd like to have AutoRCM installed just leave it be.
> Press on [Start installation]
> [Reboot] > [Shutdown]

ENJOY WHILE IT LASTS

Very good guide. I guess I wait for a more convenient solution (Atmosphère) though. :)
To make it shorter, you can skip CLEAN UP SYSNAND step but must do Factory Restore Settings Offline once. It will delete all ticketblob and error logs as well. I wrote the ways to delete ticketblob and error logs using HacDiskMount is to let people believe that it's safer for them.

UPDATE

Firmware 6.1 won't update BOOT1. Emunand signature in BOOT1 will remain in the Switch after updating to 6.1. If Emunand disappears (unlikely) use emunand-BOOT1 backup from previous firmware (6.0.1).

CONFIRMED
Emunand works
SX Menu works
HDD works
HBM works
HB works

Nothing has changed for end-users to worry about.

P.S.
I have 6.1 firmware files, leave me a message if you'd like to have it.

Enjoy!

Yes go ahead.

You don't have to backup BOOT1 because firmware 6.1 won't update BOOT1. But if you haven't backup BOOT1 yet, you'd do it once.

Have ofw on 6.01 and emunand on 6.01.

Can I just update ofw normally online? Or should I clean the sysnand and reset linked account?

If you haven't done anything yet. Stay offline and do factory restore settings to clean it up. You can update sysnand and link your account after that.

Regarding keeping OFW on 4.1 and getting emunand to 6.1, do I need to do the exFat update on OFW before creating the emunand?

(and after creating the emunand, unlink OFW, update emunand,etc)

You won't need to do that because sysnand and emunand are totally separated.

You won't get flagged (I did it for 3 months and I'm still there) or something because maunally delete ticketblob and error logs in the first place before factory restore settings will double wipe all ticketblob/error logs out. Make the nand more clean in official way.

Yes the clean up step is for those who messed up with NSP and didn't have a nand backup up to date (the latest firmware). My method is to keep sysnand online, so either factory restore settings in sysnand or emunand is okay to unlink the two nands but we have to do that on sysnand regardlessly because of online activity.

Anyway do whatever you guys would like to be and believe in yourself to do so. Because by some dark magics out there in theory we're all get flagged and will be banned soon.

i have a nintendo switch who has never been hacked.
i have a original zelda bot cartridge and i want bring the saves to emunand so i want to do the second method (so the save will be copied when creating the emunand).
but why i have to do a factory reset on system nand after creating the emunand, this will delete the user partition in witch the emunand is stored?
also it is relay necessary factory reset one of the 2 nand if i have 2 separate sd?
if my ns has never been hacked i don't have to clear the system nand but why i have to do a factory reset?

Your Switch is untouched > You don't need to do factory restore settings

No, factory restore settings won't delete emunand at all.

You have to unlink the two nands by doing factory restore settings even you're using 2 SDs.

thank you for answering

so, since my ns untouched i only have to do factory restore settings only on emunand for unlink it from system nand?

i found 2 system factory reset:
1)system => formatting options => restore factory settings
2)turn off console => turn on + pressing + and - volume

the first method will delete all data from memory including the zelda save the second one will let me keep the save data.
have i to do the first one or the second one is fine too?
because i want to keep the Zelda save in emunand without having to copy them from sysnand because booting in sx it will make it dirty.

Yes, you can do factory restore settings on emunand to unlink from sysnand.

After creating emunand, boot to emunand and run checkpoint and backup your savedata then do factory restore settings.

Cheers.
