Install other operating systems in nintendo switch internal storage

[IneedResetStockSWnoNANDBC]

Ok you need to follow the level 3 guide

I was doing the guide and at the part where he said "you should have a blank serial number in the nx manager program, otherwise you didn't build the nand correctly" I checked the serial number and I got a filled in regular serial number. I continued on the guide and the switch boots to the black and white Nintendo logo for 3-6 seconds-ish and then it goes black. Got any ideas on what I should do?

Here's the YouTube comment I left him;

"I got a typical serial number in the nx manager program, not a blank one, meaning i didn't build the nand correctly according to your video. But i did follow all the steps, so is the switch still going to work correctly? Can i copy the serial number from the label of the switch (which has my hardware serial number) and edit the PRODINFO data so it has the correct one?"

No sorry, but I can make one if you are unable to do it yourself.
Which emmc size you prefer? 32gb (lite, V2)
Or 64gb (OLED) ?

No problem.
This is the image click download it and flash it to your emmc whit etcher. Mount your emmc whit Hekate.
You need the Android boot files on your SD card and the emmc overlay in /switchroot/overlays.
[Edit]
You need also this uenv.txt In /switchroot/android

A question, is it possible to boot Android or Horizon Atmosphere without a microSD? My TF card got screwed from the pins

 

[evil_santa]

No sorry it's not implemented in Hekate, it's possible if you find someone who can modify Hekate to boot from eMMC.
I'm not skilled enough to do this.

I'm interested. My TF broke and didn't work with the replacement.

Are there processes still valid in 2026 or are there updated guides and ways to do this?
