MY EXPERIENCE WITH ChoiDujourNX:
I started off on firmware 4.1.0 retail with 5 burned fuses (from stock).
I use SX-OS v1.4
I started by updating my hbloader to "
nx-hbloader_with_debug.zip" "
https://github.com/rajkosto/nx-hbloader/releases"
Then i put the ChoiDujourNX.nro in my "switch" dir on my sdcard
I made a folder on root called "firmwares"
Inside this dir i had 2 dirs named "fw410" and "fw510"
note: use xbins to find the firmwares.
GOING TO FW 5.1.0
1. Load SX-OS menu
2. launch external payload. "
hekate_fspatches_v3.bin"
3. Checked FUSE info, as i mentioned i had 5 from stock already because i am on FW 4.1.0
4. I turned OFF the console.
5. I made a back up of my original "hekate_ipl.ini"
6. I made another "hekate_ipl.ini" but named it "hekate_ipl.iniNOGC" this one i modified with the code:
{ }
{-- Custom Firmwares --}
[CFW]
kip1=modules/newfirm/loader.kip
kip1=modules/newfirm/sm.kip
kip1patch=nogc,nosigchk
[CFW for Firmware 1.0]
kip1=modules/oldfirm/loader.kip1
kip1=modules/oldfirm/sm.kip1
{ }
7. Loaded SX-OS menu
8. launched payload "
hekate_fspatches_v3.bin"
9. Launched CFW from payload.
10. Launched ChoiDujourNX from HBloader
11. Choose "fw510" dir with the option "5.1.0 (exfat)
12. it did its thing then asked to reboot.
13. I still had my SX-dongle in my console
14. it booted to SX-OS menu
15. I launched SX-OS and confirmed I was on 5.1.0 and played "Captain Toad" and "Go Vacation"
GOING BACK TO FW 4.1.0
First i swapped my "hekate_ipl.ini" to my "hekate_ipl.iniNOGC"
This means i took "hekate_ipl.iniNOGC" and named it "hekate_ipl.ini"
and i named "hekate_ipl.ini" to "hekate_ipl.inibak2"
1. Load SX-OS menu
2. launch external payload. "
hekate_fspatches_v3.bin"
3. Checked FUSE info again (I am still at 5)
4. Launched CFW
5. Launched ChoiDujourNX from HBloader
6. Choose "fw410" dir with the option "4.1.0 (exfat)
7. It did its thing until it asked for reboot
8. Launched into SX-OS and checked firmware it read 4.1.0
9. I then uninstalled AutoRCM
10. I checked FUSE INFO one last time and I am still at (5 burned fuses)
Thanks for all those that helped me here. Hope this helps someone or gives them the confidence to use the tool.
