Hi everyone,
I recently bought a used Nintendo Switch on ReiNX 6.2 with an Atmosphere payload injector(a payload previously loaded by seller).
The seller gave me the original backup of the switch(3.0) also as he was the first person purchased it. He told me that the fuses are not yet burnt.
The switch boots to a black screen and then atmosphere payload injector loads it to Hekate where I select ReiNX.bin to start it to CFW. and same procedure to proper shut down it.

So please need your suggestion from where to start at this point ?
Should I restore to backup 3.0 ? or Continue from here 6.2 to Latest CFW ?

Thanks for the support

Depends. If you want to continue hacking your switch, simply update with ChoiDujourNX to 7.0.1 or 8.0.1 and enjoy. Don’t take your switch online because then you will be banned. If you want to play online, you would need to restore clean backup.

Thanks but I'll be using it offline (Hacked) only.
Are there any benefits of staying at this state 3.0 (Fuses) for Coldboot or Warmboot.

If you update without burning fuses, you can alway go back to 3.0.0. No need to stay there. Also check your burnt fuses with hekate to be sure that you have only 3 burnt fuses for 3.0.0.

How do I check my burnt fuses with hekate to me sure that I have only 3 burnt fuses for 3.0.0 ? Because I updated from 3.0.0 to 5.1.0 last years for the FIRST TIME then update to 6.2.0 after. Now updated too 7.0.1. Yes, with Chonix as always.

Inject hekate -> Console info -> Print fuse info. If you always updated with ChoiDujourNX and never disabled autoRCM during the installation, you should be fine.

Glad to know. Yes, I never disabled autoRCM during the installation. I guess I will be fine but I will make a note. Thanks again!
