Always boot your OFW stock trough hekate and don't run any hacks/homebrew on it.
Keep your hacking/cfw needs strictly limited to emuNAND.
But then again this doesn't ensure you a free pass to not not getting a ban.
We never know what might happen in the future.
Sure sure you can skip through all that. But autoRCM is necessary should you wish to prevent the fuses from getting burned.Why booting stock firmware thorugh hekate ? Isn't just turning it on more safe ? I'm planning on just putting my sd card for emunand cfw offline and starting it with a jig ( not using autorcm ). And taking my sd card off and turning my console on just normally when i want to play online with carts.
