Hacking Help Needed 9.0 to 12.0

blueseeka · Apr 16, 2021

I was on SXOS and the kids lost the SD card and the SX license file.

So I figured I would update to Atmosphere once and for all.

I followed the nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/user_guide/emummc/entering_rcm since multiple people recommended it
Everything worked great, as I finished the all the steps.
I am currently on 9.0.1 /AMS M.19.1/E using the Hekete 5.5.5 payload

I try to get Tinfoil 12.0 to work and it fails to install and just returns to homebrew menu
This is when I realize that I can't do anything until I update my switch up from 9.0 to 12.0.

I look up guides and update the Sig patches and add All-in-One Switch Updater to download the firmware update.
For some reason my switch is now in Applet Mode. When I try to download the 12.0 update, I get the error code of 2168-0002.

I believe this all has to do with Sig patches but I am not sure how to fix it or download the firmware without AIO Switch Updater.

Anyone able to help?
Thanks

You can download the firmware from Darth's website. Can't give you a link but Google it

1) What you need to use for most homebrew is the so called non-applet mode, you can access that the easiest way by launching any game or homebrew (except Tinfoil) while holding the R (not ZR) button even through account selection and loading screen.

2) I would not recommend using AIO for that, rather grab the latest firmware from Darth Sternies Firmware Archive (google) and manually place the files on your SD (extract the zip to a folder containing the files) and update with the Daybreak homebrew included in the Atmosphere package.

3) I would recommend using sigpatches by iTotalJustice (google) and not the one's from AIO.

4) Keep in mind Tinfoil doesn't really like if your Switch was booted with fusee-secondary through hekate, displaying a big red "no-no" screen if it can't find the license that you lost, in this case modify the boot configuration/inject fusee-primary directly.

Thank you for Darths. Downloading it now

I updated Sig patches originally from itotal. Not from AIO.

So just find the fusse payload and use that instead of hekete? I am a little confused on this step.

Thank you

The fusee-primary payload is available on the same page as where you get AMS from, attached with the other zips. If you inject it directly (only assumption because I only own a Mariko unit) you just need your payload injector to point to that payload, if you have a Mariko unit like me you can use SX Gear to launch fusee-primary instead of hekate by changing the configuration file (boot.ini) accordingly or hekate's configuration to launch fusee-primary instead of secondary (not sure on this part either because I only use secondary through hekate).

You can chainload Fusee-primary from Hekate if you want.

The firmware has nothing to do with homebrew applications not working. Firmware only affects official Nintendo Switch content. I do not recommend using the AIO updater for patches. I advise using this thread instead. Also, Applet Mode has always been there; its just that now you have a visual indicator. Booting the homebrew menu via an Applet, such as the Album, will display that message.
