Backup your prodinfo with Hekate, then run the app. Store it somewhere safe online.

Ok, and tell me, is it better to use the .nro or the payload ?

I've only ever used the nro. Assuming there are no bugs, I imagine the payload is more convenient.

Okay, If I understand correctly, the payload allows me to edit the Cal0 without kip or another cfw, right ?

That is correct.

I have a couple of questions about this tool, i am a noob regarding this so i apologize if the questions are dumb, but i prefer to be sure.

1. I am banned already (i assume permanently) which is fine of course, but i want to avoid getting a suprise FW update or nag, will this tool make me be able to stay connected to wifi for FTP purposes etc and avoid 100% all future updates if i get any?
2. I made a backup before i did the CFW stuff, including full rawnand and the boot files (0 and 1) am i assume the prodinfo is already backed up in there? (i also have prod.keys and title.keys)
3. Does this work in on Atmosphere/kosmos cfw (my FW is 9.0) without installing any edited files to my SD card?

Thanks in advance

i have successfully created icognito mode for both sysnand and emummc , when i boot into sysnand to download games from the shop it gives me connection error, i restored sysnand but still no use, and yes i have backed up sysnand and emummc same as you did and i still got my clean nand backup (: , so any help ?please share (:

It's telling you what's wrong - you don't have a micro sd card that's readable/writable that's been formatted with a fat/fat32 file system.

Quick question, if I migrate all my homebrew stuff to emummc and use incognito to wipe my sysnand's prodinfo, wouldn't I still likely get banned? IIRC people were saying that nintendo targeted users with a blank prodinfo as well since that's still pretty suspicious.

It hasn't happened so far afaik but it's certainly possible that it might.

My opinion and method on “ban safety” is this, if you have a setup already and you have been using this for quite a long period of time and have not been banned so far I say stick with it! If you start creating different setups with your switch your most probably leaving bread crumb trails for Nintendo to pick up and that’s exactly what they want you to do, this app will not make it any better for the user, if it’s not broke and your not banned and everything is working as it should do not try to fix it.. so too speak leave well alone.

This is me but I haven't checked in a year

Damn, more temptation for homebrewing my Switch.

this is pretty retarded assumption, tbqh.

on SXOS,
1. make sure you create the 'emuMMC' folder on root of SD
2. create 'emummc.ini' inside this folder.
3. contents of emummc.ini (for hidden partition based emunand):
'''
[emummc]
enabled=1
sector=0x2
nintendo_path=Emutendo
'''

I think i had *ALL KINDS* of problems (FAT error, no config found, etc etc etc etc) chainloading from hekate, so i used good ol' fusee-launcher, but that tegraRCM-smasher thing should work on windows.
good help is hard to find

You will probably find out your all ok and still not banned apart from the subscription pop up everything will be fine.

Question: Did you use SX OS's versions of sysNAND backup and emuNAND backup? That's the part where I'm a bit confused on, namely when to use Hekate and when to use SX during this process.

Thanks!

i believe hekate is the best backup solution, for all the dumps available in options and for backing up the rawnand. whether you are on exfat (basically useless now with sxos, considering you can create split xci's) or you are on fat32, hekate will make split 4gb chunks of your rawnand.bin.

from here i used SX menu to make my emunand. After doing this you will want to follow those steps i laid out before, with the emuMMC folder and the .ini file within. then you should be able to directly inject lockpick_rcm from RCM and it should work, if everything has been done correctly.

regarding what i precisely did for my backup, which is tremendously overkill for 99% of people,

after dumping rawnand.bin chunks as well as the other options, i combined the rawnand (theres a python&windows script included with hekate, its definitely on the github) into one file, then i compressed with 7z down to around 350mb. then i actually made 10% redundancy with PAR2 files and SFV checksums.
.. i like to be thorough

## Edit:
incidentally i just would like to add that creating emummc.ini should also allow you to run atmosphere alongside SXOS with emunand/emummc compatibility. good guide in this *poorly titled* thread
