    Hacking RELEASE [Official] ReiNX thread [DEAD]

    I'm currently on 4.1, I have installed the exfat update offline and it works fine in hekate. (Followed this guide https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-install-the-exfat-driver-without-updating-2-x.505176/) However reinx seems to think the exfat update isn't installed ? Any ideas ?

    Followed the instructions on 4.x but get when I launch my donor game it goes to the loading screen then stays there. Any idea's ?

    Hacking Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

    I think the public key is stored within the on-SoC ROM so changing it is not really feasible. (I'm not sure if anyone has ever managed to swap out the rom.) You could maybe swap out the CPU entirely for one without secure boot enabled (We have all the keys we need, but that might just be wishful...

    Hacking Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

    I'm well aware nobody has access to the main signing key that the bootrom verifies. (Unless a miracle happens as on the PS3) But the original question was about "downgrading" the firmware when the same number of efuses are present. You stated that this could only be down via a NAND dump because...

    I don't mean the main private signing key.

    But I thought we already had access to the keys to sign the console specific files ? correct ?

    You should theoretically also be able to downgrade without a nand dump as well (Don't know if anyone has worked on anything like that, also efuses have to be the same)

    Hacking Suggestion An idea for a potential sleep mode fix for 5.x and 4.x

    Or they could just implement it properly.

    Hacking Nintendo Switch "Cartridge Backup/Backup Loader" Discussion

    Is anyone actually working on a backup loader at the moment ? Seems like we have a lot of the pieces in place to create one. Dump your own carts -> Via PegaSwitch Load patched kernel module -> Via Hekate (I think) Looks like the only real hurdle left is to patch the fs module, from what I can...

    Hacking Question Possibility of pre-CFW NAND chip hardmod in the future?

    This isn't really possible. The Bootrom checks the eMMC chip for properly signed code. So this would only be possible if you could write a new Bootrom (Hint: rom stands for read only memory) Or if you could sign your own custom firmware (You would need Nintendo's private key) Both of these are...

    Hacking [Info] It is possible to launch games through Hekate.

    Is the any consensus on why loading the home-brew launcher blocks games ? It it intentional ?

    Hacking Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

    Any and all information sent to Nintendo from your console is under your direct control, as long as you aren't sending abnormal traffic (Different data, from a pirated game etc.) there is no way for Nintendo to tell you are running CFW. It can be 100% undetectable (If Atmosphere will be is a...

    Hacking Getting prepared for Atmosphere on a 1.0.0 Switch

    Should be entirely possible to modify the save data of the news application via RCM instead of using Puyo Puyo. So you don't necessarily need to buy the game just use the RCM mode once. (As far as I know this doesn't exist yet)

    Hacking Use safety-pin to get into RCM

    Thanks managed to get it working. Couldn't get either a safety pin or some wire from a cheap pair of headphones to work so thought I'd try combining them :)

    Hacking Use safety-pin to get into RCM

    Do you need to already have the USB cable in before you try to boot into RCM mode ? I've tried with a safety pin a few times and it seems like it works (No splash screen) however as soon as I plug the switch in it boots up normally.

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Correct. Looks like it's a webkit exploit, so it would involve changing your dns settings and having the exploit hosted somewhere. () So you need some sort of internet connection if that the exploit they decide to use. (I suppose that's sort of tethered in a way)

    Hacking Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

    As far as I understand you probably won't need to be tethered if you are on 4.1.0 and below, due to there being a trustzone exploit. This should be all you need to launch CFW. The reason why EmuNAND is necessary is because we can't really write to the NAND. Any change you make will be written...

    Hacking Would it be possible to modify the Nand Dump to downgrade the firmware and restore it?

    I've seen this question pop up a few times and I also had the thought myself. However it won't work. The Switch has e-fuses, which act as a permanent counter in the processor. The Switch bootloader (The 2cd piece of code to run after the bootrom) checks the values of the e-fuses...

    Hacking Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

    Should be possible (Easier even to use Sysnand, but you would have to boot into RCM mode every boot) "This will either involve patching up the FS module, or writing/implementing an EL2 driver. If the latter, will need support in custom TZ." https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/issues/8

    At the moment there isn't a usable public CFW for the switch. From what I understand it should be a lot easier to just change one cached e-fuse value and then boot from the eMMC than create a CFW, so think of this idea as a stop gap solution to play higher FW games while the CFW is finished.
