Hacking Nand Backup stuck at 6%

Wirth · Oct 16, 2019

Hi,

I've been trying to do a nand backup using hekate but it keeps freezing at 6%. Everthing works fine on the switch just doesnt let me do a backup. Any ideas what could be the cause?

Thanks

Problem is probably the SD card.

Do NOT trust this sd card! This sounds very much like a counterfeit card! Please test using H2testw!

The LAST thing that you want is to have a situation where you go to restore your NAND backup, only to find that your backup is bad!

These cards are usually labeled with a higher capacity than they actually are. That's why you were able to get further after deleting a game. H2testw will verify that the entire SD card is usable.

Regardless where you bought the card from, the first rule is to test the card to see if it is real or not.

I remember reading about someone buying a fake memory stick from an official sony store. I don't know how something like that can happen, but yeah, always test the card before using it.

Hey, sorry for stealing this post to make a question.

I also bought a SD card which was fake, I sent it back and got refunded. I was able to make my backup successfully using that SD card, however, I'm worried that the backup is corrupted.

If the backup is indeed corrupted and I restore it, will I risk my Switch getting bricked? Will a backup in my Switch's current state help me restore it in case it gets bricked by the corrupted backup?

Better make a new Nand Backup. You can check of your backup os corrupted using a program you can finf on the chojurodix page.

I will do that, thanks!

I guess that if it is indeed corrupted there's no turning back now, right?

If it is corrupted, just delete that file. Doesnt work
