Hacking Nintendo Switch Emunand and Sysnand

[Wickedchew]

New to the Switch CFW

i am using a SX OS paid CFW,. and just bought my switch which is hackable version already with SX OS Emunand installed (this is a 2nd hand switch).

just got a few question

1. if i backup my Nand using SX OS,..will it be a CFW Nand? or a Clean nand...coz i want to have dual firmware.. Sysnand and Emunand.
2. if it was a CFW Nand that i backup,,.how to go back to Clean Nand..and make a backup of it.
3. and the most noob question..how do you dualboot?

thankyou cheers

If you bought it second hand and it already had SX OS/emunand then I'd assume it's dirty. I'd ask whoever you got it from if they made a clean NAND backup before using CFW.

You can find most answers using the search function, I also recommend the "NOOB PARADISE ask questions here" sticky. Here is a tutorial for setting up emuNAND: https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-setup-emunand-keep-sysnand-online.520471/

You can still make a clean nand for your sysnand using choidejour on your PC. You'll just have to manually build it. Then boot hekate instead of SX and flash it to your sysnand. There are plenty of guides on here how to do that. Just search.
