gaga24 · Feb 24, 2019

Ok, im on 6.2.0 and atmosphere 0.8.4, old dumps works from hekate 4.6 works, new one from 4.8 dont.
Lockpick is latest 1.2. Gonna use biskeydump.

Awesome.

I'm trying to dump PKG1 but it says tsec will run and then re run this part again, I did but it said the same thing.

Huh strange. Is update.bin correct (aka hekate 4.8)? If yes can you delete sept/payload.bin and try again? Update.bin will be copied there and used.
Btw just checked and it's working.

What is custom warmboot binary?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

When working with Atomsphere 084, is it working like this?

Hekate CTCaer 4.8 chain loading sept/payload.bin?
How about Atomsphere 084's reboot to CFW feature? (not reboot to payload).

Would update.bin been involved in this booting process?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Reboot to a selected boot entry via HOS hb, is there an homebrew for this been released yet

There will be a homebrew. For reboot to payload, the reboot payload must be hekate.

If you are on 6.2.0 it should work. I changed the format a little bit, but it shouldn't parse more than 2 0x10 bytes.
I basically removed the redundant extra 2 keys from <= 6.2.0. And now the file is 32 bytes long.

Yes, is working, problem was I tried this before they added it to SDFiles(Kosmos) and it didn't work back then (don't know why) but then I downloaded the SDFiles and everything works awesome now!

by the way

^^^ broke Lockpick xD

Im on 6.2.0 and i tried the new hekate_ctcaer_4.8.bin along with the new kosmos package and when i inject the payload i get a crash with a black screen i have to hold down the power button for like 10 or so seconds to power it off. I tried loading the fusee-primary.bin with the new kosmos files and atmosphere loads no problem i even deleted the old kosmos package from my sd card before installing the new one.

I think I might revisit that design. The problem is that I don't want to make the boot process slow.
I want it nice and fast. Dunno we'll see.

oof. It was mandatory change though. It shaved a lot of bytes in order to fit everything.

Afaik kosmos used new atmo without bundling the new loader.ini format. You might want to check that with them.

Wasn't that fixed in 11.10.1?

EDIT: It's not

Correct you are thanks for the info.

From the sx os website.

so i only have to put the boot.dat from sx os website and a menu in hekate*.ini with the line
payload=boot.dat and put it in root of sd
?
So no decompress or anything else is needed ?

Zumoly · Feb 25, 2019

Is it only me or the new 4.8 hekate payload does not show custom bootlogo anymore?

There is an issue in github about this, but I haven't had time to check it.
Seems like logopath works but not the bootlogo.bmp

You do need the boot.dat in the root of the sd card. But what I was saying to download from the sx os website is payload.bin - the download button says "Download SX Loader 1.0". Rename that to sxloader.bin or something and put it on your sd card, then configure hekate to chainload it.

Thanx now i understand what you meant ;-)

Code:

f_puts("\ncustomlogo=", &fp);
    itoa(h_cfg.customlogo, lbuf, 10);

missing in config.c?

EDIT: Nope. Not that. Stupid me.

Edit edit... X & y axis flipped. Change sanity check. Wrote on github

Before 7.x, I used to go online while preserving my fuses by booting "Stock" in Hekate.

This seemed to be "semi-safe", and it seemed Nintendo didn't care enough about a fuse count mismatch to ban people.

However, @CTCaer said here:

Stock is not possible anymore

I wonder how safe going online in the suggested "semi-stock" would be, just to preserve your fuses.

Now I understood what you meant in github. Check the issue again. It's better to avoid deleting the sanitization, because the buffer is finite and fixed.

It should be pretty safe, but nothing is 100% with nintendo.
On the other hand, I'm thinking of a disable most patches mode for semi-stock. Also, exo should emulate the original secmon.

Hi everyone, sorry for the noob question if it is. Is it possible to remove the SD card while in Hekate and then put it back ? (For example, after a NAND backup to copy the backup on my PC). I just want to enter into RCM as little as possible.
I remember Godmode9 had an option like that on the 3DS, so maybe this can be done on the Switch too

Thanks

Yes, you're ok to remove it while in hekate's menus.

in case you haven't found out yet, I updated Lockpick to 1.2.1 on Monday to accept the new filesize.

Even using ExFAT? This would save me a lot of hassle if so!

How does this not cause corruption as surely the card is mounted? I'm using ExFAT so a bit worried about corruption that's all. Being able to do this would save me plenty of time.

You're not writing to the SD card, even though it's mounted, so...

better yet, turn off your console, take it out, then inject hekate again

Thanks i guess i'll stick to using my phone to reboot. God only knows what happened with my internet when i submitted those last 10 messages or so!!!

Sorry to interrupt, but for some reason, Hekate doesn't have some options in some of the menus for me.
I feel like it could be because I had to delete the modules folder to get Kosmos to run, but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm not sure which exact options I'm missing, but I do know that I can't find the option for a custom boot logo anywhere in the bootloader.
The weird part is that it doesn't even load any boot logo. Like, it just boots straight into the bootloader.
