Hacking Question Hekate - Boot OFW without removing AutoRCM?

Incineratinq · Nov 6, 2019

Hi, I was wondering how i can boot to my original firmware without turning off AutoRCM. I am only currently using hekate to boot to LineageOS, and I can pretty much send payloads anywhere with my phone so I am comfortable using AutoRCM.
But if I try to restart and boot to OFW, it boots to RCM due to AutoRCM, leaving me with no option but to disable AutoRCM if i want to use OFW. How can i circumvent this?

If you don’t have the option to launch stock from hekate then your missing the options in the hekate_ini file located on your SD card. not sure what OFW your are on so use the one that coincides with your OFW. If your on 7.x.x or above you might need the latest Atmosphere files as well(I’m not 100% on this though) Put the below lines in your ini file after the last line under [Config] in the ini file. Use Notepad++ to edit. FYI, when booting stock from hekate your not ever 100% fully stock. Legit stock you would have to disable autorcm, though you should be safe according to devs.

{-------- Stock -------}
[Stock 6.2.0 and lower]
stock=1
emummc_force_disable=1

[Stock All FW]
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
stock=1
emummc_force_disable=1
# Both above disable kernel patching
# Stock All FW, includes exosphere and warmboot, ONLY when >= 7.0.0.

I don't know how LineageOS works, but if you use Hekate + Atmosphere, you can boot into your stock OS. you just have to move files over to your Switch's SD Card and run "fusee-primary.bin" payload.

If you have enough room on your SD Card, you can also setup EmeMMC (Emulated EMMC).

Unfortunately this did not work

@Agent Moose is talking about Atmosphere files. What I previously posted would not work if atmosphere is missing from your SD. You can grab them from the sticky above your post in this very forum here! There are also various guides floating around as well If you need help getting it setup, but it’s virtually drag and drop, super easy.

It also would be a good idea to update to the latest hekate here if you haven’t already.
