Fuses are designed to prevent downgrading. While you can theoretically downgrade with the current RCM exploit because all bootloaders bypass the fuse check (and now bypass the warmboot fuse check when waking up out of sleep mode), it becomes redundant to downgrade. The reason being is that the main purpose of downgrading in the first place is to take advantage of an alternative exploit that doesn't make use of a jig and USB cable.

Also what was recently released was a writeup on browserhax on 4.1-6.0 aka PegaSwitch which would only allow for homebrew. Deja Vu has still only been confirmed to work on 4.1 and below which would give rise to CFW.

Anyway, its up to you if you want to hold onto your fuses in case Deja Vu or another exploit comes out on lower firmwares. In order to prevent your fuses from being burnt, AutoRCM is used which prevents your console from booting up normally. The reason being is that booting the console up normally would burn fuses. Since it cannot boot up normally anymore, it can now only be turned on after sending a payload in RCM.

Lastly, ChoiDujour is a Windows program used for installing firmware updates via RCM but doesn't support firmware 6.2 and can take up to an hour. ChoiDujourNX is a homebrew application that has the same job as ChoiDujour but runs on your Switch and does support firmware 6.2 as well as taking a few minutes to do its job. Learn the differences and you can save yourself as well as others a lot of time down the road.

The cartridge slot is updated once you are running a firmware of 4.0 or higher. Once its updated, it will no longer work on firmwares below 4.0. If you've run a firmware of 4.0 or higher without the nogc patch (which breaks the cartridge slot thereby preventing it from being updated), then your slot has already been updated.

If you update online, you will burn fuses because after the system update is finished installing, it will reboot your console which will subsequently burn fuses. A risky option you can go for is trying to boot back into RCM when the console is rebooting by inserting a jig and holding volume + but of course the success of this would rest entirely upon the jig. You also would only have one shot at this as if the jig fails to short pin 10, then you will not enter RCM and burn fuses. Another alternative is to install the update while running a version of Atmosphere 0.8.0 or above with AutoRCM enabled. Atmosphere now prevents system updates from removing AutoRCM so if you download the system update onto your console then install it while Atmosphere is running and you have AutoRCM enabled, your console will reboot back into RCM and your fuses will be safe.

ReiNX is moving towards becoming the free version of SX OS so whatever features SX OS has will naturally become integrated into ReiNX as more progress is made on cracking it

Unfortunately there is not. What I recommend doing is by grabbing the Tinfoil build that ends in 883e from the bot that builds the commits which has the most success with Aluminum Foil

thanks a lot

My Switch is on 6.2.0, I made my NAND backup after installing and running ReiNX CFW and Goldleaf.nro file. I have not installed any .nsp files.
Did I made this backup properly? Or I should have done this before installing and launching CFW?

Well the primary purpose of a NAND backup is to recover from a brick so as long as you have boot0/boot1 and rawnand.bin, you are protected against 99% of all bricks. If you were planning on using this NAND backup to go online, then its not clean enough for that purpose. However you should still keep the backup in case your console becomes bricked.

I am not planning to go online on my Switch, on CFW there is always a ban risk, but if this backup protects me from potential brick then this is great! Thanks for reply!

Variant one will allow you to downgrade back, but you will need to enable NOGC when you update with choidujourNX

other than that, it's just which you will prefer

So with variant 1 you mean doing Backup Nand and biskeys first on 1.0 and then update fw offline to 6.0.2 with choidujourNX, right?

Once I updated Nand and biskeys I should not do an official FW update via big N?

if you wish to downgrade, correct

I went ahead and went forward with the 6.2 emuNAND thing. Apparently the game card reader doesn't work if you do it from 3.0? Is this actually permanent? It doesn't really matter that much to me but just kind of hope it's not a permanent hardware failure.

I ran a PS1 game in retroarch that likely doesn't support dualshock so the controls would not work, after closing retroarch and reloading it I can no longer move around in retroarch at all. Deleting and re downloading the .nsp changed nothing either and now I can't do anything in retroarch, does anyone know a fix?

Edit - It also seems that when I enter retroarch my controller swaps to a single joycon control (left joycon), only function i can use is a (but no directional control) and the search button (but only down and left d-pad function in it). I assume the maybe the PS1 driver is still active and is locking me out? Loading retroarch through the homebrew menu as opposed to the nsp gives the same results.

Edit 2 - I can scroll up and down with the touch screen by clicking below (but cannot change tabs left or right) and even when loading another core or game, I can still only use the A button

Edit 3 - Attempting to use any other .cfg file (such as the web version of RA) gives back movement but has a completely different layout, font, black boxes, and I can’t ecen scan rom directories without a crash.replacing the cfg file with one from a previous back up gives me the original layout but it’s still uncontrollable like the present

Confused and search give me no relief. OSW 4.1. Created partition emunand and updated to 6.2. Now when launching .xci vi SXOS launcher I get Sometimes "Insert the Game Card" and on same game sometimes "A New Update is Available it will be down loaded now". Options Start/Download/Cancel. And sometimes game runs.
My cartridge slot should be the same as original at 4.1 since I used ChoiDujourNX. This happens with most games. Any Ideas?

first time ive heard about this game card slot disabling/updating thing does the sx os utilize this patch ?

Hello guys, super new here, I got a Switch for Christmas and I have been reading everywhere about the hacking process and the exploits. My Switch came with FW 4.1 and I ran the test to determine if it's patched or not. It's Patched! I wanted to know of there's anything out there to hack it.

hello

my switch is brick Because I followed this Video Specifically at 6:15

now my switch stuck at logo even after i followed this guide https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-...nofficially-without-burning-any-fuses.507461/

in step 9 .....i select FS301 (because my switch was on 3.0.2 firmware) it is still stuck at logo

plz i want solve for this problem.... i miss the home menu ><"

note:i have back up after the brick so that's not useful ><"

sorry for my English...i used google translate

Not at the moment but there will be a way to launch CFW even on on patched models on FW 4.1.0 ; of course you need to be patient and not update, part of the exploit has been released but we're not able to boot CFW yet using said method. So either wait or sell/return/trade/buy another Switch checking the serial number against the megathread in this section (I can't link it to you because I'm a new user); some people will even suggest you keep two Switches and use one for legitimate/online play and the other for CFW/Homebrews/Backups.

i saw a few posts about mods on here and had questions. i was wondering 1. could I get banned for downloading mods that change the shop in pokemon let's go? 2. if not, how do I do it? I've never tried modding anything but Minecraft java, and that was on the same system, while my pc and my switch are not the same.

There is an update for the cartridge slot on firmware 4.0 that, once applied, renders it unusable on firmwares below 4.0. This is in case you ever downgrade to a firmware below 4.0 and want to either play your retail cartridges or utilize an exploit that revolves around your cartridge slot. Currently, there is no way to reverse it.

There is no evidence they support this patch.

Yes, you can and will get banned.

I installed .NET v4.6.1 and got Goldtree and libusk 3.0 etc.

I however see this message when trying to install NSP files:

"NSP Installation error, an error occured whilst installing NSP package: Failed to open the meta NCA (CNMT NCA) within the NSP. (error code 0x236e02)"

Haven't even touched Goldleaf and still use Tinfoil but since they accomplish the same job, I can assume their error codes are shared as well. That particular indicates your firmware is not high to install whatever you want to install based on this thread.

Look like you got a $300 dollars paperweight, if you don't have a working NAND backup, backing up the nand after it brick is pointless, as for following youtube video that is a stupid idea, a lot of people follow sthetix video and end up with some stupid error, happens a lot with his switch and 3ds video, just don't recommend his videos even though I followed one of his tutorial before for the ESP8266.
