Need some advice on installing title updates on the switch. I've got several games that I have the updates for. I've tried to install them and it says they're installed successfully, but all I get is another icon on the menu with the cloud icon next to it. If I click that, it says about connecting to e-shop. I've tried via tinfoil and via SX Core installer. Im checking the version via the title itself, and it never goes above 1.0.0
What CFW are you using? If you are using Atmosphere, you may be missing the patches needed to install the updates. If you have the patches, then its possible the updates you are installing are for different regions than the games you have installed.

Is there a way to access JITS without using Tinfoil? It feels like every time I do something, the app gets corrupted for no reason, which causes me to have to reinstall some sort of sigkeys.

Im using SX-OS, and the updates came as part of the game dl, so I would imagine they're correct.

Also when I install them via the install option on SX OS it says they're completed, and installed correctly. But I just get a duplicate tile on the menu with the cloud, if I open that it says about downloading from the eshop.

Nope. You have to find somewhere with a stash. I would recommend WarezNX but their stash was hit by Google unfortunately.

That is exactly what happens when you install an update from a different region than the game. The Switch wants you to download the game from the region the update is for. Your options are to find a matching update for your currently installed titles or find the game with the same region as the updates.

Ok, seems weird though as they're from the same source. I guess i'll keep trying though. Thanks!

I just found out that my sdcard become exfat suddenly or is it already exfat from the beginning?

Is it because I reinsert the sdcard after it was taken out accidentally?

So in order to re cfw it, my steps need to be
1. Format the sdcard
2. Copy all the Reinx or Atmos files
3. Launch it using Hekate

Right?

------
Tried all the steps above but still black screen after choosing the payload and reboot (black splash screen)

btw do I need Hekate to push payload or is it better to just push the payload directly from tegrarcm?

Okay so this method will wipe your sd card so backup anything important first

1) copy the latest hekate bootloader folder onto your sd card
2) inject hekate then press tools, then press arch bit | rcm | touch | partitions (bottom right)
3) partition sd card according to if you want it dedicated SD or want to have a RAW emunand
4) continue with the partitioning
5) when partitioning is done, take sd card or mount it via hekates usb-tools, and copy over the latest atmosphere files and copy fusee-primary.bin to bootloader/payloads
6) re-inject hekate and backup your rawnand and boot0/1 files then copy them somewhere safe on your pc
6a) (OPTIONAL but recommended) inject hekate and press emuMMC then create emuMMC either file based or partition based if you chose to format your sd card as such
7) configure your hekate_ipl.ini file to add the following
Code:
[Atmosphere]
payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee-primary.bin
logopath=bootloader/bootlogo.bmp
icon=bootloader/res/icon_payload_atmosphere.bmp
{}
8) save your file, then boot hekate and launch atmosphere using the config you added

NOTE: If you enabled emuMMC the following above will always boot into emummc unless you disable it. If you didn't create one then it will boot on sysMMC

Hey peeps,

Wondering if anyone ran homebrew's guide for an unpatched Switch, and also uses web fusee gelee to run their payloads?

The reason I ask is because my Switch no longer seems to charge. I've tried holding down power while connected to charger for it to start charging again and that worked the first time, but this time I have no luck. Wondering if anyone has an idea on how I get my Switch charging again and maybe if there is something else I can try than web fusee gelee given I have OSX and followed homebrew guide.

Thx

Don't use TegraRCMGUI. Just use TegraRCMSmash instead.

Try using TinWoo instead. Its based off of Awoo Installer which has never given me or anyone else any issues.
Thanks I’ll try does it support ntfs
First, there is no such thing as "1st" or "2nd" generation Switch. There are Erista and Mariko units. Secondly, if by "2nd generation" you mean Mariko, then the only way to hack those is with the TX modchip. While the modchip will work regardless of firmware, SX OS does not support firmware 11.0.1. However Atmosphere does and the next official release will allow users with the modchip to boot into it.

I'm not clear on what you are asking. Please elaborate.

Thanks for the response. What I am trying to do is have it so two different people, each with their own controller, have complete control over a single player game so the duties can be shared. For instance, one person does the shooting and another does the aiming.

So I can get into Atmosphere using the pc and all that jazz, but I wanted to get to my custom firmware faster, so I turned AutoRCM on and bought an RCMloader. Ive seen the youtube guides, and blue is the Hekate one, which Im trying to use. Actually before I go further Ill just post some pictures.
1. root
2. Atmosphere_hekate folder
3.Launch .txt file



All the other folders are empty, because i purposefully deleted them, since I was assuming I only wanted to use Hekate. So my Blue light is on, my switch is enabled into AutoRCM, I plug in RCMLoader, I see the blue light to indicate its been plugged in, so then I hold Vol+ and Power....now this is where Ive had some disparities. Originally when I tried this, the screen would attempt to brighten from pitch black to a lighter pitch black, then at the top left corner of the switch in tiny red letters it said something about "REINX not supported or not found" or something like that. Which was weird since I had it on blue, which is what prompted me to then delete every file inside any folder other than Atmosphere_hekate. But now when I attempt to do it, I dont even get a lighter black screen anymore, nor any text on the switch. Its like nothing even happened.

However the switch can boot normally through Tegra on the computer. Not sure how to proceed if anybody can help

Edit: Also not sure why the Launch says /SXOS/Payload.BIN if that matters

2nd Edit: Also I turned off AutoRCM for now. Want to see if I can get into it manually. But I have a new problem now, I already installed the latest IAP folder to my RCMloader yesterday, which updated and removed itself like it was supposed to. But now today I downloaded the IAP folder again and put it on RCMloader, because I forgot I did it yesterday, but now I cant even delete it from my RCMloader anymore.

Try holding the power button for 15 seconds then plugging it into the AC wall charger/dock for an hour before you try injecting again

Not familiar with the RCM Loader but I assume your MicroSD card has the hekate/atmosphere folders?

With the RCM Loader which I assume is the files in the device, in the atmosphere_hekate folder, do you have the the hekate payload in there named payload.bin? if not then copy the latest hekate.bin to the folder and rename it to payload.bin

then change your launch.txt to be \atmosphere_hekate\payload.bin and try again?

Yes my MicroSD card has the normal atmosphere/hekate folders.

I did download the latest hekate payload which i then deleted the old one and renamed the new one payload.bin

I didnt change the launch.txt until after a bunch of fiddling, which I may have introduced some extra problems during my fiddling so i cant determine if that would've solved it.

But now my RCMloader cant even be recognized by the USB cable that came with it. So im returning it and getting a new one. Ill try to come back to this when new one arrives

First, don't put your response in the quoted text otherwise I cannot properly respond to you. Secondly, whatever you are downloading or clicking on is incorrect because there is a download link in the OP and it contains a ZIP file.

Is it safe to have a "dirty" SD card with emuMMC and then going online on Sysnand with the card in the console or should I remove it beforehand? Can Nintendo see the content of the SD card and ban you if you have installed NSPs via emuMMC on it?

What you are asking is can only be achieved by games that already support it. In other words, that functionality cannot be added in.

I meant to get back to you. What you are referring to is known as "copilot mode." If you do some Googling with that term, you may come across what you're looking for. Good luck!
