How to transplant savedata (system and user) from other switches

All firmware versions, guide here, kinda obsolete now that we have ChoiDujour which does this as the first step automatically:
https://pastebin.com/hXs4VCgs

Lets you transplant savedata as raw files (including system savedata) which means you can recover these consoles by using other people's firmware/partition images (restored with proper BIS keys, of course), except for PRODINFO/PRODINFOF which is absolutely console specific and you should never replace.
It also means you can get fakenews installed on your 1.0.0 console without PPT JPN, simply by replacing your SYSTEM:/save/8000000000000090 file with a friend's who already has it (make sure to back yours up first) using HacDiskMount after mounting SYSTEM partition, then launching 1.0.0 using Hekate and this FS.kip1 patch applied, using the fake news entry to launch the browser and install fake news AGAIN via pegaswitch, which should fix the CMAC so you don't have to boot using Hekate anymore.

Yes!
Only problem is finding a friend that has it
I have a 1.0.0 with fake news installed. I can upload that file for you guys but I need to know how to perform a nand backup on it first. Then how to upload just that file. I don't have homebrew or anything else besides fake news for pegaswitch on my 1.0.0

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

why would you want to downgrade to 5.1.0 ?
I don't. I have two switches. One with 1.0.0 and one with 5.1.0. I want to transfer my save data for botw from my 1.0.0 to my 5.1.0 so I can continue playing and get the dlc. But your guide is only for 1.0.0 users, not for 5.1.0

Since you have fake news on 1.0.0 and presumably RCM on the 5.1.0 whats preventing you from just using Checkpoint from transferring your game saves ?
This "Transplant" is more for system savedata and downgrading when running homebrew isnt possible (due to system not working correctly).

I'm a noob and I want to backup my 1.0.0 first without a jig but trying to find out how and I can't use rcm yet on my 5.1.0 as I'm waiting for the jig from the sx pro.

You can use this to dump the nand

Ok. I'm going to use this guide to boot into rcm on my 1.0.0 https://gbatemp.net/threads/fusee-payloads-and-not-a-wire-in-sight-1-0-0-only.502103/

Then im going to follow this guide for Hekate but where do i put the Hekate payloader file? On root of sd card? https://gbatemp.net/threads/rcm-payload-hekate-ctcaer-mod.502604/

After that's done, I'll dump the raw eMMC to have my backup.

Now can i just look through the dump and find the SYSTEM:/save/8000000000000090 file and upload it?


Definitely going to take me some time

You cant distribute that file here. That's why i mentioned "from a friend" for system dumps.
Anyway once you have a RawNand.bin or if you have directly mounted your eMMC via memloader uboot ums emmc mode, you open it with HacDiskMount, go to SYSTEM, enter the appropriate BIS KEY, install the driver if necessary (program needs to be run as admin for that), check "Pass-through zeroes" for better-compressible savedata, then mount as read-only to some drive letter, on which you can find the folder and file you need.

I made a python gist for the versions up to 3.0.1, makes the process a little easier... just put the following files in the same directory :)

1. hactool.exe (https://github.com/SciresM/hactool/releases/download/1.1.0/hactool-1.1.0.win.zip)
2. BCPKG2-1-Normal-Main.bin (dumped from your own Switch)
3. FS-X.X.X-type.vcdiff patch
4. kip1decomp.exe (https://files.sshnuke.net/kip1decomp.exe)
5. xdelta3.exe (https://sourceforge.net/projects/xdelta3-gui/files/latest/download)
