I'm not Draxzelex, but I believe I've learned enough to help you guys.
Yes, you can update offline using ChoiDuJourNX. Just install the desired firmware version (or reinstall the one you're currently in) and choose the exFAT option to apply the patch.
1. No need to go online if you're using ChoiDuJourNX, as mentioned above.
2. The patch doesn't "stick" and has to be reapplied with each update.
Also, you may want to consider just using your microSD card formatted as FAT32, as it prevents corruption and is generally safer. There are ways to circumvent its limitations, and if you're installing backups/homebrew via USB, you don't even have to worry about them.
After backing up your clean NAND, update using ChoiDuJourNX, that way you won't burn any fuses. ChoiDuJourNX also enables AutoRCM by default, so you should be good to go after the update.
It requires a CFW to load, since it's a homebrew application. Boot into your CFW of choice using your bootloader of choice, run ChoiDuJourNX and install the desired firmware.
As long as you update using ChoiDuJourNX (not regular ChoiDuJour, which can't update to 6.2.0), you should be safe (meaning, you won't burn any more fuses). Booting into CFW using a bootloader will never burn fuses.
Question regarding SD cards.
I'm 4.1. and I never put in a SC card. So I heard that the Switch needs an seperate update for SDXC cards.
So what's the best way to approach this? Is there a way to install this update offline?
I thought about using ChoiDujourNX to update to 6.2 and download the update but:
1. I don't want to go online with the Switch.
2. Would the update even stay if I downgrade to 4.1 again later on?

Question about cfw. My switch is on 3.0.1. I just made a nand backup and will now enable autoRCM and run atmosphere after
Will i burn fuses this way?

Hello everyone..I have a switch updated from original FW 6.0.1 to 6.1 via choidujour with 7 burnt fuses. I use exclusively reinx as cfw so the question now that it's now compatible with 6.2 can I upgrade with choidujour? Especially when a lot of updates or games require 6.2 FW. Thank you
