Hacking Question Hakete backup always verifies - HacDiskMount Keys Test always fails?

GBAtempSwitchHackingGuy · Dec 17, 2018

Hi,

So I've finally decided to hack my 4.1.0 Switch, and I'm running into issues with the initial 'good' backup. The problem I'm having is verifying that the backup is any good before I start messing around with CFW (bit late as I assumed it would be, but oh well). They never seem to 'verify'.

Steps I've taken:

4 separate Full GPP backups in Hakete. I'm using a 16GB card so the files are split into 14 different chunks. Verification always succeeds. I've tried version 4.5 and 4.6.
4 separate Boot 0/1 backups in Hakete.
Dumped keys/BIS keys in several different ways using different tools (all come out identical)
Merged all of the backups together and then tried to load them in HacDiskMount

When loading any of the 30GB rawnand.bin file in HackDiskMount, the BIS keys I use always 'fail entropy' tests - which I think means my back up is corrupt, and I couldn't restore if it I needed to? I've tried version 1044 and 1055.

Other things I've noticed:

My BOOT0 (but not BOOT1) files change regularly. Should this be the case without a firmware update?

My rawnand.bin.01-14 are always identical, the only file that changes is rawnand.bin.00

Dumping everything using Hakete, and then doing a full dump again using Hakete, results in identical files. Rawnand.bin.00 seem to only change after I boot into either CFW or Horizon (which I'd expect if timestamps and other items are stored in there).

How do I verify I've done a backup I recover from - or even start troubling shooting which tool isn't producing correct results?!

Thanks

RESOLVED:

For those that (like me) didn't pay attention properly, each of the BIS keys that HackDiskTool isn't expecting need to be 32 characters. The BIS keys that the tools dump are 64 characters - yet HackDiskTool doens't check for this when it's doing length checks on the keys.

So just take the keys produced by tools, split them in half, and then use those in other tools.

Mine still failed in PRODINFO, Any idea ?
