Installing Atmosphere with a broken screen

[StarveBread]

Had an install from before I broke my screen and have been using that just in docked mode. The SD card died and now I can't install atmosphere cuz screen is dead.
Asking if anyone knows a way to install atmosphere without the screen or just on the pc.
Switch is a v1patched with the original sx core installed. Also the touch screen still works.

Bumping this.
Also some clarification, Aside from the screen the switch is completely fine, if that helps.
as for nand backup, I had one from 2 years ago but I forgot where I stored it.

Just drag and drop AMS files + latest sig patches etc, onto an sd card when on PC, then plug it into the switch and finally RCM + smash it (however you normally do) with the jig and payload.

Don’t need to see anything on the switch screen at any point when doing any of that.

Just need an sd card reader + another sd card.

I don't need the jig cuz I have a modchip, it boots to Hekate directly.
I've always used emunand for cfw, guess I'll have to do it in sysnand.

Do you know of a way to make a nand backup without the screen? Only way I know of is through Hekate.

Edit:
Was googling for one and I found about TegraExplorer but that also requires the screen but it's text based maybe somehow I can blindly navigate to the backup option but it's pretty risky.

Once you've got Atmosphere running, I believe you can use Studious Pancake (Tesla overlay) or the other one I forget the name of, with the right config set up, to boot Hekate straight to the UMS mode to mount your emmc over USB to your computer. Then you can back everything up from there. I can't give you all the config details off the top of my head but I'm confident it's possible fwiw.

Thanks, I'll look into this

Probably have to use hekate autoboot.

Did it, but it defaults to SD card instead of emmc.

looking at the source code, maybe adding a new option that targets emmc might be possible but am not too good at programming.

Probably have to use hekate autoboot.

I have been using this since my screen broke.

Found the other one it's fastCFWswitch and it has an emmc boot option under UMS. I'm making my backup now with nxnandmanager.

How did you solved it?? I've got a modded oled with broken screen, so I can't create emummc normale a backup of the nand or the keys, since hekate doesn't support docking mode

You can try hekate autoboot

You can try hekate autoboot

I need to create emummc first, without it Autoboot won't work

You going have to resort to using sysnand since you don't have a working screen, since hekate doesn't work on dock mode.

According to ctcaer here --> https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/issues/898
It's possible, I just don't understand what he's saying and how to do that
