Hacking Question Can i still go to 7.0?

[Noaken]

Hi there, a few weeks in the past i accedently updated my switch to 7.0 and i was on 6.2, i didn't have any backups so i downgraded using this guide https://guide.sdsetup.com/#/manualchoidowngrade . Can i still go to 7.0 or 7.0.1 because there is a cfw available now.

Yes, you can. Preferably via choidujournx. But there are no sigpatches yet, so no free gamez.

so it's better to wait for the sigpatches

If all you care about are free gamez, you have to wait for sigpatches.

How is 7.0 if my interest is just homebrew?

You still have the possibility to use the LayeredFS method to load backup from other games. But you need at least one licenced game (it could be a demo) and compatibility is restrained depending on the licensed game you choose. In addition, it's a pain to set up and it's also a huge source of ban.

or you could just downgrande in 30 seconds with choidujournx?

If a game has been compiled with a too much recent SDK, you won't be able to run it on lower FW (but there won't be any game like this before months so, anyway, signature patche will probably be available).

Just by curiosity, is downgrading require to factory reset the console? (there could be some settings from upper FW which could not be understand by lower FW and make it crash)
