Hacking Can we replace NAND with Incognito on Ipatched units

[Mister_LAN]

incognito
Wipes personal information from your Nintendo Switch by removing it from prodinfo.

If it wipes fully prodinfo personal data, when why can't we duplicate or fusee-geele NAND data and replace EMMC on Ipatched unit? Could it work correctly?
I can't physically do this, but if modifyed NAND backup with Incognito could launch in any patched/non-patched unit, then we could create more cool homebrew-things.

that's not how it works. NAND is and always will be console specific.

No.
NAND backups don't work that way. (At least for now) you can't use a NAND backup on another console as they're tied to that console's unique keys etc etc.
Besides, why would you want to restore an unpatched console's nand to a patched one?
Nothing is to gain from that.
Homebrew-wise, be it ipatched or not all consoles should run homebrew flawlessly, assuming they have got a proper full blown CFW running by various means and entry points.

well you could do it but first we need to wipe out the unique console infos then we can try to install something that writes a new Serial to it...
but guess thats possible but its currently not possible is getting these infos from your patched switch since you dont have Fusee Gelee and idk if the "Hypervisor" would not allow the Horizon OS to get these infos.... so we need something to complete rewrite personal Infos... and btw when you doing this you can direct edit your patched EMMC so you just need to wipe it out manually...
oof so technical.... and im not even sure if that would work
but now no its impossible and why do you want? you can install 90DNS too... and installing Incognito will block the Eshop too (i GuEsS) so no real difference between these things...

Ninty used an ipatched to patch FG on some systems. ipatches are permanently burned into fuses within the soc and cannot be written to or replaced

The nand is encrypted. You can't decrypt the data unless you have a console specific key. You got the key=you can edit it. Currently there's no way to get the key in ipatched units, so no way of doing it. Also, the data you are refeering to as wiping it is on the SoC, and it is read only.
