Hello,

I was wondering if somebody could let me know if this process looks right to you for switching a switch with sysNAND 6.2.0 that's been running sxos on emuNAND 6.2.0 (offline only) back to stock for the purpose of playing official (non xci/nsp) games online?

1. Update sxos emuNAND to latest version (8.0.1) with ChoiDujourNX (doing this to guarantee I can boot the emuNAND later if I want to switch back to using sxos after the sysNAND is updated to 8.0.1)

2. Remove autoRCM from sysNAND

3. Remove SD card with sxos files/etc. (and do not use this SD card ever on sysNAND/online)

4. Flash backup of sysNAND from before homebrew/etc. was ever used

5. Update sysNAND to latest version using official nintendo update

6. Play online with stock sysNAND/no cfw and no SD card inserted (or a fresh/clean SD card)

My goal is to preserve the sxos emuNAND so that it can be used again in the future by reintroducing autoRCM and turning on airplane mode. This switch is unbanned as it has never touched the internet since using RCM, and the goal is to keep it unbanned as it is my much younger brother's switch (he's 10).

I don't think that burning fuses will matter for me, because as far as I know there wouldn't be any need for my little brother's switch to ever be downgraded (he doesn't care about homebrew, just being able to play regular games online on sysNAND and being able to play XCI offline on emuNAND).

I have no problem doing my own reading to make sure I do these processes correctly, but just wondering if there is a big error in my process list or if there is a good reason I should update sysNAND with ChoiDujourNX as well (would burning fuses matter in this use-case scenario?). I don't actually own a Switch of my own so I haven't been keeping totally up to date with the scene.

Thank you for any reply, my little brother will be very grateful if I can get his switch back on OFW/stock sysNAND!
