Homebrew Question NAND Validation?

[javz3]

I have a slight issue in regards to NAND backups. I recently "cleaned" my HDD by accident and lost all my data, and just recently got it back but with no folder structure.

I have two backups, one of which is mine. Is there a way to confirm and verify if one of the backups is mine? Without using the created date as means to verify?

Apparently it can be validated using Hekate, but I can't see an option for that.

I'm currently on:
Hekate 4.6
Atmosphere 0.8.2
Switch 6.0.1

Thanks

You can't use someone else NAND backup or you gonna brick, but when NAND backup are created it give you a 8 digits/character identififer, you can look for that as your reference by making another NAND backup and compare the folder name.

I know I can't use someone elses NAND. How can I view those identifiers? And comparing how? Since I don't have any folders for the original backup

If you have your biskeys, you can use HacDiskmount to check the keys of your console against the keys in the rawnand.bin file(s).

When you make your NAND backup you get a backup folder, then another folder with 8 characters mixed with digit and alphabet, that is your identifier for which NAND is for which unit, you need to use that or you can use what suggested above.

Those were boot0 the boot1 keys right? If thats the case I've yet to recover them...

Unfortunately, as mentioned before, I don't have the original folder structure anymore so I can't do that....

I found the boot keys, any ideas how I'd use them and the nand to compare the values? I can't see any tutorials as such right now

Thanks

Thanks, managed to inject the payload and confirm which backup was mine via the HacDismount and Biskeys

Sorry I didn't reply to your follow-up questions, I was not able to use my phone or get to a computer after my initial response. Glad you sorted it out.
