Question Can i update Atmosphere, Hekate and Sigpatches using USB?

You can update Atmosphere and the sigpatches through hekate's USB MicroSD Mass storage options.

And don't know about hekate.
What you can do is transfer hekate's files to some other folder on the MicroSD and use something like NX-Shell to copy the files to the right position in the OS.

 

I use the AIO switch updater to first update hekate (while in atmosphere), then go into hekate, usb mass storage tool and update atmosphere. Then i go back into AIO switch updater to update sigpatches (since i usually delete files instead of replacing when updating atmosphere). But yeah updating hekate through hekate may not work

 

Yes you can. You can use:
- hekate SD tools
- DBI (personal choice)
- nxmtp
- sxos ftp
- others

 

You can’t update Atmosphere via FTP anymore. System can’t be booted into it while updating

 

Easiest way is to use AIO-switch-updater

 

Why do it this way? The AIO updater can do all of this, and is probably the best choice for someone without access to a PC for their SD card.

 

But i thought its not possible to update atmosphere while running atmosphere anymore? I basically update everything apart from atmosphere through the AIO updater as i didnt see the option there

 

technically correct, but AIO-switch-updater reboots to a payload to finalize the install. So you're not actually updating atmopshere while HOS is running

 

Ah alright, didnt know it was possible! Ill try it out next time, thanks for the tip
