Hacking Question Is it possible to add reboot to payload into the Hekate stock option?

Juste put hekate.bin into atmosphere folder and rename it reboot_payload.bin

That doesn't help at all when he's in stock.

He wants to make it so that stock firmware has that functionality because he frequently switches between OFW and CFW. This is impossible without running CFW on SysNAND, which breaks Nintendo's Terms of Service. So if he sends it to Nintendo, they can, if they see that he ever ran unsigned code, refuse to fix any problems it has, so even if he would ever wish to give up on CFW on that Switch just to fix it (Nintendo would patch RCM at the repair center), he would be unable to. It's not worth it. Just buy an RCM dongle and call it a day.

Edit: The Switch has a TON of telemetry. Atmosphere's module replacements remove all of it, but stock with only the reboot to payload feature will not do so.

It is barely still under warranty, yes, but we have not fixed it yet due to Nintendo requiring paying for shipping ourselves. Not only that, but Nintendo will likely just replace the console instead of repairing it, and they do not guarantee keeping save data.

I assume the warranty has run out now.


If your happy to open it up yourself I've seen someone fix this using a USB charging board and connecting directly to the battery. Basically you connect your USB to the charging board.

There will be a + and - out. You connect a switch plug onto these (or the wires into the plug if you're brave). It involves opening the switch, but it doesn't look like a hard fix. It's cheaper and easier than a new battery.

Oh and there cheap, only a few pounds or dollars.
