What is the culprit for the sleep bug? Is that something that could be fixed any day now? Having sleep mode working again would be awesome.

When Atmosphere CFW is completed, it should support sleep mode.

I understand completely that this is by no means “safe”, however I am an end user, and i am worried that eventually my jig will screw up the joycon port the more and more I use it, so I love this tool. With this tool, would i have a “Fairly safe chance” that it doesn’t screw up, and my switch can be un-fucked easily?

well you dont need the paperclip anymore after you install this, but you will need it again if you decide to uninstall it, so, your choice.

And what would happen if the unbrick process didn’t work? bad things?

 

[rajkosto]

it works if what you bricked with is the same tool.
and besides, you are stuck in perma-RCM, you can ALWAYS recover if you have backups

And that backup would be your RawNand(.bin)?
Note: Do we even have a way to recover from bricks with a backup yet? or can we only make backups?

 

[rajkosto]

well this thing corrupts some bytes in boot0 (which isnt in rawnand.bin) so you would want a backup of that.

So backup boot0 and RawNand and protected from bad things?

 

[rajkosto]

boot0/boot1 and rawnand are all of your eMMC, so yeah ?

It will work if you do it the exact same way you installed the AutoRCM. It's a lot safer for your switch than continuously rubbing pins with a paperclip/jig, considering the pins on my switch don't even look the same after a couple days of using a paperclip.

BTW reading you two go back and forth with your profile pics is hilarious

How can i deactive it?

Same way it is activated. There's a different button you press to uninstall it.

boot0/boot1 and rawnand are all of your eMMC, so yeah ?

So is there a payload that will dump all sections of eMMC?
It seems like there are 5,000 different payloads that do their own thing.
Someone talented...hint, hint, @rajkosto...should combine several of these tools together into a single payload.

I have it activated, I was in the normal mode (normal firmware) of the Switch, I put it in sleep mode (standby mode) and the next day I turn it on and I receive a black screen, I connected it to the computer (obviously, it was in rcm mode) and it did not work, I tried turning off the console, leaving this way to re-enter and nothing

just long press the power button ugh...

Oh, thanks you!

 

[subcon959]

Why is the long press of power button not a known thing by now? It's like that on so many devices!

As expected, an implementation of AutoRCM has been merged into the latest version of Hekate. It would be best of users stuck to a specific implementation of this setup in order to avoid the possibility of not being able to revert your changes!
