Hacking Downgrade from 12.0.1 to 10.2.0

[Joronaud]

It is a good idea to downgrade from 12.0.1 to 10.2.0? I downgrade 3 times yet. Which components are overwritten?

There is no reason to downgrade unless you are using SX OS, in which case you should downgrade to 11.0.0.

If you are using Atmosphere, there is no reason not to be on 12.0.1.

If you decide you want to downgrade, you can do so easily with Daybreak. However, the father back you downgrade, the more likely it is you will have to reinitialize the Nintendo Switch and wipe your settings. You can also downgrade by restoring an older eMMC backup.

 

[Joronaud]

Okay, then I will downgrade.

Out of curiosity, why are you downgrading?

 

[Joronaud]

I downgrade because Goldleaf and other Homebrews are not working.

The idea should be fine as long as you are careful.
i suggest Daybreak as ChorDujor is quite outdated

 

[Joronaud]

Yes, I downgrade with Daybreak.

Yes, I downgrade with Daybreak.

Just be careful because when you aren't you could brick your switch

Goldleaf is a little outdated. Have you tried Awoo Installer instead? It works fine for me on 12.0.1.

 

[Joronaud]

I don't know the Awoo Installer yet I will test it now.

It works! Thanks, now I can stay on version 12.0.1

The problem with Awoo, is that if you want to install a new update it wont delete or overwrite the old update.
Taking up more space on the sd card than it should. I like to keep my games Updated.

This issue was fixed a long time ago.

Are you sure about that? Using Version: 1.3.4 and still does that. What version do you use?

Yeah that's it. It still happends with the lastest version.


I guess i have to do a FULL reboot after an update. Should solve the issue.

Try dbi. Works fine on the latest firmware. As stated above, is there no reason to downgrade.

A FULL reboot didn't change anything...still have the same issues.

I'll just try a different installer.

Most homebrew applications work with 12.0.x (100% of the ones I use are compatible with 12.0.x), but there are some that don't. If a homebrew application is still being actively developed, it will probably receive a support update for 12.0.x sooner rather than later.

Unless there's an application you must have that a.) Doesn't work with 12.0.x, and b.) Doesn't have a better maintained alternative, there's no reason not to downgrade.

There are literally TONS of homebrew who will never got an upgrade.(probably) Or very delayed atleast. + whole SX OS thing.
Actually there is almost no reason to upgrade to FW 12. only if you want bluetooth homebrew lol.
