Hacking RELEASE AutoIPS sig Patcher

[LyuboA]

Will try it again tomorrow, too tired right now. Maybe someone can create a video guide? Always getting the error that the path does not exist.

this was answered in the previous pages and theres a fix install python to its default installation path or get the modded bat on the previous page btw theres no need of video guide reading will do just fine

btw theres no need of video guide reading will do just fine

That may be true. However, it would have been still better to provide a guide. After a lot of trial and error, I finally found out, what I did wrong. Gotta make these sweet patches myself from now on. No need to wait anymore, that is great, and I am thankful for your work, @mrdude.

Make sure you have pip installed and you need to edit the bat file with notepad to where phyton is installed.

Example
C:\Users\Yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37

I am running into a weird bug.
Hactool doesn't seem to work at all when I have my prod.keys and title.keys are into the ".switch" folder (tested on Windows and Linux).
The only way I got it to work is by putting the .keys files into the AutoIPS folder, and make sure there are no *.keys files into the .switch folder.

These are the exact same .keys file, just a different location.
By default, hactool is looking into the user folder for the .switch folder, so I don't get that it only works with the ones that are in the same folder and nothing else.
Below is an excerpt from hactool's ReadMe:

"In addition, if -k/--keyset is not set, hactool will check for the presence of a keyset file in $HOME/.switch/prod.keys (or $HOME/.switch/dev.keys if -d/--dev is set). If present, this file will automatically be loaded."

Anyone encountered the issue?

You issue is nothing to do with these scripts - hactool for this tool doesn't need any key files to work and it's already been asked and answered in this thread if you care to read back a few pages.

Thanks for the answer.
I guess it's a hactool issue, looked quickly at the code after posting here and it will always try to populate prod and title data with .keys file from a few locations if nothing is specified:
https://github.com/SciresM/hactool/blob/ba4c4b6990f7627fda29c4e73b23097cb959b816/main.c#L448
https://github.com/SciresM/hactool/blob/ba4c4b6990f7627fda29c4e73b23097cb959b816/main.c#L475
https://github.com/SciresM/hactool/blob/d4b9b1f7269f016aff7b7ca1ac1e8293ad6d7fc5/utils.c#L262

It's just weird that even though the .keys files are not used, they still break hactool if they're present in this scenario. Would need to dig deeper into what's happening or maybe add a --no-keys option to hactool.
At the moment, the only way to get things to work is to move/change the name of the .switch folder whenever I want to use AutoIPS.
Not a big deal but just letting people know in case I missed something or somebody else is having the same issue.

Thanks for the great tool and support though!

what switch folder what are you doing with this thing just extract AutoIPS on you PC somewhere install dependencies put fusee-secondary.bin and run it you dont need keys theres no switch folder or anything like that you can put bitstring.py into AutoIPS folder if its not working for easy fix thats it

Loader patch seems to still work on Atmos 16 pre release (only tried 10.2.0 firmware so far).

https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/tag/0.16.0

[Loader:0F3850B7CE489F6A]
.nosigchk=0:0x6D9A:0x1:01,00

Generated ips file:
0F3850B7CE489F6A8FAEE9AD301013F66C74E7C8F8D1B7038AB7FE8BA9D5AC24.ips

I didn't try on firmware 11.0 as I won't update my switch just now due to waiting for the impending SXOS update.

Might be handy if someone wants to use auto rcm - update to 11.0, dump the firmware (while still on auto rcm) and then downgrade back to 10.2.0.

if you create me with ips created exefs and kip I try and immediately say the result! I try to install with awoo and start an old backup and load a new one. I have among many a switch 11.0

 

[leandrodeassis]

I dumped the 11.0.0 firmware, but i think i can't post here.

Do you have a sigpatches? Work?

Use the tool I posted on the first page and make your own.

then I don't know where to insert if in exefs or kip. if someone passes by even in private I say if they go

well, put the 0F3850B7CE489F6A8FAEE9AD301013F66C74E7C8F8D1B7038AB7FE8BA9D5AC24.ips in the loader_patches folder and didn't work here on 11.0.0/atm 0.16/emunand.

on 10.0.2 worked.

 

[Naminave]

Keep in mind that it is a preliminary version, so the changes made will make the patch not know what to do or how to work for the new versions. Also, many sys-modules will stop working, as well as possibly some homebrew apps. It is better to hope that at least there is an advance on the part of Deepsea or SDSetup that allows verifying which things have changed and which things are still working.

thats because we need patch for 11.0.0 firmware too

One thing I did notice, if you install 11.0 to your sysnand - and you burn fuses (count is 14 with 11.0), then you try to boot emunand with 10.2.0 - it will crash both Atmosphere and SXOS if you have a game card in the slot. So I take the firmware that deals with that has been updated.

My advice is to stay on 10.2.0 - until SXOS is updated.

yes that was posted i think on reddit v2 mod chipped console cant even boot into emunand after sysnand update to 11.0.0

EDIT: i guess you cant make AutoIPS to work for firmware updates too right

You can - but you need to remove any game carts to be able to boot up, and you can't use the game cart slot after boot or it crashes the switch.

Can you pm me a link to it - cheers.

Just because you send it via PM doesn't mean its still not against the rules. Sending ANY warez even through PM is forbidden. Hopefully a moderator doesn't ban you.
