It should not unless SX OS does some funky thing to the NAND when dumping it (as far as I know, it doesn't even verify the dump which is worrisome to say the least). And if your fuse count is burnt to 8 for firmware 6.2, then the only way to boot up the console on a lower firmware is by going into RCM and using a bootloader that bypasses the fuse check.

I have a few questions that are probably good to ask before I take on this challenge.
1. Is there a way to check the NAND dump before injecting it? Last thing I want is a brick
2. Is SX OS using a fuse bypass?
3. Will I ever be able to return to normal booting? For example if I update via official way?

ps. Sorry if its a lot of questions !

Maybe try mounting it via hacdiskmount (which would also require feeding it your biskeys)
As of Version 1.2, they started bypassing the fuse check
You can only boot OFW normally

If that doesn't work, you can try using DevMenu's Reset Required Firmware Version feature. But since DevMenu isn't supported on firmware 6.X, you will have to downgrade to 5.X
You can't use CFW on firmware 6.2; if you update EmuNAND to firmware 6.2, it will become bricked.
Atmosphere doesn't support installed .XCI files; only ReiNX does.
Boot into maintenance mode by holding volume + and - when turning the console on. If you have AutoRCM enabled, which you should if you updated without burning fuses, hold volume + and - when sending the ReiNX payload.

Safer, yes. And its normal to be able to play online on 6.2 however Nintendo may eventually change that due to 6.2 breaking CFW and they would want to promote a firmware that works against the scene

If you update SysNAND to 6.2, you won't be able to use CFW on it but obviously OFW will work fine. If you update EmuNAND to 6.2, it will be bricked

If its formatted to exFAT and you never downloaded the exFAT patch to your console, you may have to format it to FAT32. And since the SD card is bigger than 32 GB, it will need to be formatted with a third-party program such as GUIFormat. If you want the exFAT patch, you will have to use the homebrew application ChoiDujourNX.

Use Hekate to backup the NAND.

Yes

You can use either ChoiDujourNX or your clean NAND to downgrade

Tinfoil does not bypass all firmware requirements

AutoRCM is 100% safe

Just use Hekate to restore the boot0/boot1 AND eMMC RAW GPP of your firmware 6.1 NAND backup.
When you go to System Settings to check your current system firmware, if you cannot see the number, that means there is a pending system update.
Some .NSP files are converted from .XCI files hence the lack of a ticket during the installation which is expected. And for your other Switch, you can just format the SD card to FAT32 instead of using exFAT as we can do everything using FAT32. If the SD card is bigger than 32 GB, it will need to be formatted with a third-party tool such as GUIFormat. Regardless if you want to continue using FAT32 or use ChoiDujourNX to add the exFAT patch to any given firmware, the SD card must be FAT32.

Wow thx for the answer!!

Hey guys,

A friend is using ReiNX but wants to try Atmosphere coz of LayeredFS support. After he moves to Atmosphere and installs the sigpatches, will he have to reinstall all the NSP games or will the previous NSP installs work just fine?

Pretty sure you can have more than one CFW on the same sd card and keep everything the same.. It won't impact the games.

Hello together,

I don't know how to get .xci oder .nsp games on my microsd cause I have fat32 and I can't update to newer firmware to get exfat driver cause I'm in 6.1.0 and don't want 6.2.0.
Already tried to split the files but that doesn't work. Is there any solution with SX OS? Just working with ReinX yet.

Moreover I activated AutoRCM with ReinX and like to know if it's possible to disable??

Thx for help!!

Hey guys,

Have been lurking and following the scene for a few weeks now trying to research as much as possible. Have finally made the plunge now and installed Atmosphere using the guide from guide.sdsetup

I was originally on 6.1, had flight mode enabled and removed wifi settings before 6.2 dropped. Have done full backups and everything, have a 128gb microSD which was already formatted to exFAT and working in OFW.

My issue is this: when I launch CFW (Atmosphere) from Hekate, it first pops up with a screen saying: "Error Code: 2016-0247 Unable to access microSD card ....", I can dismiss it and then go into Album and it shows all the content of my sd card.

I can install NSPs to my nand using Tinfoil, BUT... when I try install to my SD Card I get another error saying: "ContentStorage:8: Failed to open NCM ContentStorage. Error code: 0x0001fc05"

Where have I gone wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a corrupted file system on your sd card. Move all the files from your sd card to your pc (if you can) format it and move them back and retry.

So, If i buy the SX Pro Kit, all I need to do is put the software on my SD card and plug in the kit? and then im all set?

I backed up my zelda cartridge with I think tinfoil? Where is this backup located?

Tinfoil does not backup carts...

Atmosphere doesn't support installed .XCI files; only ReiNX does.

Thanks for your help, I will have to change to ReiNX if its the only way.

Is there anyway to patch Atmosphere to enable support?

The developers of Atmosphere are against piracy so unless another developer adds support, it will remain a ReiNX exclusive.

Sorry, how do I do this with auto rcm on, or do I need to turn it off? I can't seem to get it to load at all

With AutoRCM enabled, you have to hold the volume + and - buttons after sending a payload that boots CFW/OFW.

This worked thank you! I was thrown off because my reinx payload loaded a bunch of text instead, but it seems that it as just automating the process

Thanks bud, will try that out!

If I am looking for a cheap Jig to quickly get in the US before December 7, is eBay a safe bet? Are faulty jigs that cause damage to your Switch a known issue or something? Or would just any old jig as long as it seems to be a popular seller on eBay work?

The reason I am asking is because my Switch is currently on stock 6.1, and I am likely going to have to update it to 6.2 for when Smash comes out on Dec 7, but I figured I could at least try to dump my keys and NAND before I do that. I am not ready to hack my Switch yet (and risk getting banned) but from my understanding if I use fusee gelee just to dump my keys and nand I don't have to modify or install anything on the Switch itself and therefore there is very little chance I could get banned, right? I just want to have those backups of 6.1 for now.

I use THIS. Dump the keys and nand by following cannas guide > https://gbatemp.net/threads/backup-...-your-biskeys-tseckeys-keys-txt-guide.513386/

Nope, you just follow that guide. The booting of the cfw is for kezpleznx which can be found elsewhere if needed. The biskeys, tsec and nand can all be dumped from rcm without booting into CFW
