Factory Reset Switch Oled With HWFly

[Valiran]

Hello All!

I'm about to receive my Steam Deck, so my Switch OLED with HWFly is going to catch dust. So I'm selling it.

Is there a way to factory reset both SysNAND and EmuNAND before the sell?

What I want is:
- buyer receive the Switch, both OFW and CFW are in like-new console, asking for time, name, user, etc...
- Atmosphere is functionning
- Buyer just have to set time, date, username and install homebrew

So is there a way to achieve this, or should I set a default user, like "user" and preconfig the console?

You can do that in settings, but it's not recommended as it will cause joycon pairing to de-sync between sysnand and emunand. After running initial set up, you can only have joycons work wirelessly on either one, depending on which nand you set up first.

Imo just reset sysnand, run the initial setup, reboot to hekate and create a new emunand.

Hello and thanks!

Reset SysNAND won't affect Hekate and CFW?

Ok so it didn't worked, both CFW and OFW asked to format SD card
So what I did:
- backup SDcard on Mac
- format SDCard on Mac: ext4/mbr
- insert SDCard in Switch and reboot to OFW
- Install OFW update 14.1.1 (I was on 13.X)
- Factory Reset OFW
- Set a user "user" and go to the Home page
- Power Off Switch
- Redo the whole hack
