A buddy hacked his switch. When He found out that I had set up SysNAND and EmuMMC he brought his hacked switch over and asked if i could setup the same deal. He said he originally created a nand backup. Well, when i started looking for his backup I didn't see a backup folder on the root of his memory card. After digging a bit i discovered that the only 'backup' files i could find are located in Toolkit -> dump. It contains 10 nand.bin.# files that are each 3,053,568 KB in size, a combinerScript.sh and combinerScript.bat file. I can't find a boot0 or boot1 file anywhere on his card. Upon pressing the issue with him it sounds like he originally used ReiNX and created the backup there. He isn't sure but he thought it was created after booting into the HBMenu. Here are a few questions:
I've asked him for specifics but its been a while since he originally ran CFW (and he can't recall details). He knows that he started on one OFW (he thinks 5.0) and then applied the CFW. A bit later he updated (he thinks to 6.0). Does this update path change the options we have for restoring his nand? Ideally, he wants to end with a clean sysnand he can take online, and an EmuMMC that he keeps offline. Thanks in advance for any help/assistance you can provide!
- Is it possible that ReiNX put his boot0 and boot1 somewhere on the card i haven't looked?
- If he doesn't have boot0 and boot1 is it impossible to restore his Nand? Or Can i restore the nand without these boot files?
- I have his switch and his SD card. Assuming they are necessary for a Nand restore...Is there a way to recreate the boot0 and boot1 files?
