that seems right, you only need to get to hekate to boot from your L4T micro sd card.
as for your second question they allready stated that u will be able to run atmosphere (the FOSS OS) in the modchip not just SXOS meaning linux isnt farfetchd at all. yet its not there yet so its speculation.
Complete noob question.. So perfect for posting here I guess 
With everything going on, its not possible to find an unpatched switch for love nor money. Sadly I had to succumb to paying one of the leeches on eBay praying on people just looking to find any switch in general a stupid price. Anyway long preamble to just ask this. The switch is unpatched according to serial number but the switch has been updated to the recently released firmware 10.0.
My questions are as follows:
- will I have any issues in modding /installing CFW being on the latest firmware
- from the beginning research I have done I know I need to make sysNAND and emuNAND builds (not sure what this means fully yet, I'm sure the guides will make it fall into place ), will this be impacted starting out on the latest firmware?
From what I understand the exploit is hardware based on unpatched models so I'm assuming I shouldn't have any issues. Your help on clarifying this and making me aware of anything else I might need to know would be great.
Thanks

thanks to our geniuses, (mostly scriesM) firmwareversions dont rly matter as he shoots those fixes for potentially breaking stuff out hours after the Nintendo pushed the update. Atmosphere is up to date with 10.0
your device could be ipatched. the only way to test if you can hack your switch is by trying it.
https://switch.homebrew.guide/
Does someone know the solution?Tried that, didnt fix the problem
i deleted everything from the card and formatted it. I even used new files and not the ones i backed up.
@SANICspeed does that mean even with the serial being in the range that is definitely not patched according to the forums here the switch I have purchased can still be patched?
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
@SANICspeed does that mean, even with my switch being in the serial number range of switches that are definitely patched, it can still actually turn out to be patched? I'm confused. Apologies for the dumb question

Don't worry this thread is for asking any questions. sadly it means exactly that. its not very likely tho. Nintendo can still patch units to not allow rcm anymore, thats what they did after certain serial numbers, so its not advised to send those units to repair.
there is a way to test for patched units: https://gbatemp.net/threads/a-definitive-way-to-test-if-your-switch-is-patched-or-not-purchases-after-07-2018.512018/
but it would be reccommended just to follow the guide as it is a way simpler method to test if your switch is hackable

To be clear @SANICspeed the patch we're talking about here is a hardware patch right?
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
As in it would have had to have been sent into nintendo in order to be patched physically?

That's largely correct, yes. Without swapping hardware, the RCM exploit is unpatchable on a system that already has it.
Hello, I got a question: Is there a problem if I try to use the lastest Atmosphere on Firmware 9.1.0? I updated everything and it seemed to work fine but when I try to open a .nsp the console freezes. Thanks
So that would be download in Stock SysNAND and then switch to offline CFW SysNAND to install should be relatively safe?
Thanks for your help.
Ok, I have set up Kosmos v15.5 and installed emunand on a separate partition and everything seems to be ok on 10.0.0.
My last step was going to be to install Incognito RCM to wipe the console details for offline CFW. But now I see that it is not updated for 10.0.0. Bummer. I have a couple of questions.
1) Is it really necessary to have Incognito for offline CFW?
2) There are obviously some folders/files on the sd card relating to CFW. Has anyone been banned just for having the files on the card or is it safe to leave it in?

1. It's highly recommended, if you don't want to get banned, and as I said in the other thread, this version of Incognito RCM should work with 10.0.0.
2. There is no evidence that merely having those folders has gotten anyone banned.
Do you have the proper signature patches installed? Which NSP installer are you using?
Yes, that's probably the safest method of having a clean up-to-date sysNAND while also having AutoRCM so as not to burn fuses.
Yes, I had the Sigpatches.
I "fixed" this by installing a clean Atmosphere, but regardless I really want to know why that problem happened. Basically I tried to launch any .nsp but once it launched the Switch just freezed and gave me a black screen, the load icon didn't even appear. Normally if you launch a game without Sigpatches the Switch would show you a meesage saying that "the game is corrupted" or something along the lines, but in this case it was different.
Before this problem I tried to update Kosmos via the Kosmos Update homebrew so maybe was because of this, not that it explains why evertyhing but the nsp's worked...
Ok, I got icognito installed and tested everything works.
I went to CFW and checked the system settings. All good. Now a couple of noob questions.
1) How to get to sysnand OFW from CFW? I went from CFW to KosmosToolbox and rebooted to Hekate and then launched sysnand OFW. Is that the right way? Or should I just turn off the switch a cold boot?
2) Any way to get back to emunand from sysand OFW? I guess that is a stupid question. I have to RCM Hekate again and launch from there right?

Hi all, I'd like to ask a question about SD card issue.
I've been running Atmosphere with emunand enabled on Sandisk 200GB formatted in fat32. I had no problem so far with it.
Yesterday I tried to copy a large archive of files to SD via my PC, but there was a connection issue and the work failed halfway. I just gave up and deleted the leftover files.
Since then the switch refuses to recognize the SD displaying error 2016-0247. I don't think the switch SD reader is broken or the SD itself is damaged as Hekate still shows emunand and I can boot to it. It's just the standard partition the switch seems to having trouble reading it.
I've tried everything from scanning/repairing the card, rechecking archive bits, to backing up the contents and reformatting the partition, to no avail. Is there a way for me to salvage the situation?

Hi everyone, totally new to Switch CFW so apologies if this question doesn't make sense...
Say I wanted to install CFW solely for the purpose of changing the hourly music in Animal Crossing. How does this work when it comes to downloading the seasonal updates? Am I able to load the same save file in both CFW and OFW? Am I able to edit the music in the OFW or will that get me flagged for a ban? The one thing stopping me from installing CFW is that I don't want to lose access to updates.

You can make a post on the DS forum about your findings, and they'll do their best to respond. They have a GBAtemp account here, you know. -

Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
