Hello,
When I initially hardmodded my switch OLED, the modchip was not properly installed and worked sometimes, sometimes not.
When it did work, I managed to Backup the SysNAND, and use LockPickRCM payload to backup both titles.keys and partialaes.keys (“Mariko Partial keys”).
I have all of them safely stored offline.
My issue is during the “Mariko Parital keys” backup, it is mentioned that this backup process wipes keys, and a console reboot is required subsequently to restore these keys.
At that very moment, my modchip unfortunately decided to not work anymore, and so the process was never properly completed.
Fast forwards several weeks :
I’ve had my modchip installation fixed, and when using the LockPickRCM payload again and making a backup of title.keys and partialaes.keys, there is a substantial difference in size and contents between the first partialaes.keys (containing all keyslots 0->15) and the new partialaes.keys (containing only keyslots 7,9,11,12,13,14,15). During the new backup process, onscreen were “Failed to validate keyslot X” (X=1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10) warning lines.
How do I restore all my keys properly?
I’ve already restored my initial SysNAND backup but it didn’t restore these keys (which makes sense, we wouldn’t need a separate key backup process with a specific payload if a SysNAND backup did the job in the first place).
Please advise!
Thanks in advance
