Hey guys, i'm pretty new for this jailbreak.

The version of my switch is currently v2.3.0

I recently bought this payload injector : ns-atmosphere and tried to follow their guide

I updated the payload for hekate v4.2

Issue 1: I got an error about my micro sdxc is not supported and I should upgrade. Also I can't launch any CFW, so I cannot upgrade offline with ChoiDuJourNX at the moment :/

Issue 2 :
I copied the "1.x-3.x.zip" on my SD card (found on ns-atmosphere)

When booting on "hekate", I click on launch, but I got an error message like "no main configuration found".

Someone in this topic got the same error, and needed to install "SX OS Executer" on the root. So now when I start hekate, I select the boot file (SX OS), my switch start but nothing happens after clicking on "album".

Did I miss a step ? I think few things are missing in the zip file "1.x-3.x.zip" on the website "ns-atmopshere" :/

What about Windows? Do It need a USB 3.0 too? Will the web work with Chrome?

Windows only requires USB 2.0 and above.
Hi all. I have a game which i played with cartdrige (at that time i had no sd inserted). Now i want to install its nsp backup, but in SD. What does the nsp installation do to the old saves? and to the old game in NAND?
It shouldn't do anything. Installing the .NSP file is the same as buying it from the eShop.

CDNSP is dead.

  1. Format the SD card to FAT32. If its bigger than 32 GB, Windows will be unable to format it to FAT32 so you will need to use a third-party program such as GUIFormat.
  2. Have no idea what files NS-Atmosphere host their site but given that they host their own files rather than link them to their original source, I don't trust them. Grab the files from a more official source such as https://www.sdsetup.com/

Yes, but i meant, does the nsp installation overwrite the original game files? maybe i have been not much clear, i want to install the nsp backup game in SDcard, of a game i have already installed in NAND

If its being installed to another location, it won't replace where it was originally installed to. Although why install the same game in 2 locations? Wouldn't it be easier to remove it first via Data Management then install it to where you want it to be?

hi guys. I kind of just had a weird thing with my switch and i was wondering what it was...
I launched tinfoil in order to do a usb installation. This time it didn't work (the usb cable was in but it was still waiting the usb to be ready). I already did it a couple times and it was fine. So, trying to get back to home screen, my switch crashed.
But then, my pc didn't recognise my switch in rcm mode (i had a non recognise device). zadig said the driver was missing but it was unable to install a new one. i tried installing the driver with tegra but my switch was still not seen. Then suddently after trying a few times to unplug plug my switch (and launch rcm mode manually) it worked.

Any way to know what was the problem ? Is it more likely to be my switch, my pc, my cable ?

thx

Yes, shure this is the correct way. But i'd like to keep saves, and deleting by Data Management erase them as well. Maybe do i have to use checkpoint homebrew before deleting the game in NAND?

As far as I know, Data Management doesn't touch the saves. But sure, you can back them up via a homebrew save manager such as Checkpoint or EdiZon.

I checked and saves can be deleted in saves/captures settings menu. So yes, deleting a software with Data Management keeps saves.
Anyway, i have kept them in my SD with checkpoint (awesome homebrew btw).
Thank you Draxzelex

I have an older Switch that should be vulnerable to the CPU flaw. Currently it is not hacked and on the latest firmware as I haven't gotten around to using homebrew yet. I have some questions I can't find the answer to:

1. Nearly all the hacks seem to be software-based and rely on a specific firmware version. Is nobody really working on the joycon-port exploit that is supposedly unpatchable?

2. I understand that a hacked system can get banned, I accept that, but what I want to know is does Nintendo just ban the system (and yes, I realize this means CDN access so no eshop, patches, or even firmware updates)or even your account? The first Switch ban I heard of was an account ban..... but supposedly that person abused the hell out of the CDN and was attempting to exploit it for free software, so it's not hard to believe Nintendo went out of their way for that one. Does Nintendo ban accounts too for having a hacked system? I don't care if my system gets banned, but I would not want my account to get banned.... especially since they removed the ability to unlink your Nintendo account in a recent firmware update.

3. Right now the only thing I really want to hack my Switch for is to perform manual local backups of my saves, and a nand backup/dump (as well as my keys/licenses/etc). I know there are apps to do this, but I don't know if they require CFW and/or installing the backup app to the Switch (which seems to be a guarantee to get banned) before you can run it or what. From what I understand of the CPU-exploit, it will allow you to execute code on the CPU before the Switch's OS itself ever even boots, right? So then, if I were to use this exploit to run a save backup tool and/or NAND and key dumper, would it be 100% undetectable since the Switch's OS never starts and it's a read-only operation? Is this even possible? And if so, are there any such apps to do this? Also if you can do this, would this mean that restoring a save could risk me getting a ban since that would obviously have to write to the nand and could possibly be detected?

For now, all I want to do is backup my saves and if possible dump my nand/keys too without permanently installing anything or leaving any trace/doing any nand write operations.

  1. Not sure what you are referring to. The current exploit relies on a flaw in the bootrom which is designed by Nvidia and is named Fusee Gelee. In order to take advantage of it, you must boot the system into Nvidia's RCM. One of the ways to do that involves bridging pins 9 & 10 on the right Joy-Con together which may be the "Joy-Con port exploit" you are referring to. The only other known exploits are Jamais-Vu and Deja-Vu
  2. Account bans are very rare and reserved for severe offences such as playing a game online before release date. 99% of the time, Nintendo only bans consoles so your account should be untouched.
  3. While the current exploit is a coldboot which is launched before the NAND, without CFW, we are limited in what we can do without booting up the NAND. We are able to perform simple functions such as dumping/restoring the NAND, but dumping/restoring saves is so far accomplished with homebrew save managers which require the use of a CFW in order to be launched. If you want to transfer save data without using CFW, there is a manual guide on how to do so here.

Anyone know if they are releasing patched splatoon 2 bundles. I found couple on local store and wanted to get one since the regular switches they are selling are patched according to the serial #. I manage to see the regular switch serials but not the splatoon 2 bundle.

Hey guys, I'm new to all this. I am able to get the homebrew launcher running, but I want to update the firmware since my Micro SD (128gb) won't work and I believe needs the update.
I'd also like to play the new Pokemon game next week while still being able to run homebrew.
I'm on version 4.0.1. Is there an ideal set up for me to aim for?

I read a couple pages back there's an app called ChoiDujoruNX to update the firmware.
Is there a certain firmware I should install? Is it recommended to buy a dongle for full functionality?

I did not link my switch to my Nintendo account. I'm on Atmosphere now. I can't see my play times. What is the solution?

Given that the Splatoon 2 bundles were released way before the Fusee Gelee exploit became publicly available and they don't typically update the bundles, the consoles that come with it are most likely not patched.

Use ChoiDujourNX to not only update your firmware to the upcoming new Pokemon game but also to provide exFAT support to the firmware you update to. That game is most likely going to require 6.X so choose between any of those firmwares. Also a dongle is not necessary but useful if you want to launch CFW/homebrew while on the go and you don't have a computer/phone nearby to send a payload with.

If you've gotta clean hack-free NAND backup, now is the time to restore it. If not, a factory reset can reduce your chances of being banned slightly but not as much as a clean hack-free NAND backup.

Yes I got a clean back up before I started all this.. So how do I clean logs before restoring?

I assume that after restoring I'll need to link account. Then take another nand backup. After that again hack everything and restore save files to play.
