Hacking CFW to emummc

[youngc29]

went back through this guide:
https://switch.homebrew.guide/usingcfw/manualchoiupgrade
but unable to mount system (step 11) I think trying to restore it from an old system.bin screwed it up. It's 1am here, have to give up been at it all day

Sorry I can't help, but I do have a question since I'm in a similar setup with a clean NAND version lower than my current CFW (ChoiDuJourNX flashed and autoRCM) and my jig works 50% of the time:
Could you have avoided the problems if you restored from the NAND backup prior to disabling AutoRCM?

 

[youngc29]

I would say so yes, but who knows switch is stuffed now

 

[youngc29]

reformatted sd to fat32, splitnsp.py rawnand, copy to /backup/8digitser/restore/ with boot0/1 and will try restoring again in hekate, with Autorcm enabled fuse count shouldnt matter..will update if it works but not convinced

 

[youngc29]

its on 3.0.3 nand restore previously with exfat worked but only after I restored my system partition.

So your system is working fine now?

 

[youngc29]

yeah, it's 4am been at it since 10am yesterday...tired. so I booted the cfw sysnand and just updated fw shows 8.1.0 (ams 0.9.2). latest atmos/hekate. What should I do next, create another partition for emuMMC? need to sleep now. thanks for help.

 

[Hayato213]

Depends on what you want to do, if you want to preserve that sysnand being clean and haven't burned your fuse then you can create an emunand if you want to.

 

[youngc29]

Not sure if it is actually clean though now, because I burnt fuses and restored with an old nand on 4 fuses I effectively soft bricked it so it will probably only boot with autorcm enabled rendering the nand dirty?

Steps for creating an emuMMC nand? Partition a 32gb at the end then use hekate?

For anyone else facing the same issue restoring the nand was not enough I had to restore the gppt partitions especially system partition that was corrupt.(SAFE didnt matter)

Oh and I also updated to the latest fw via the switch online.
