In the midst of the recent DMCA claims against Switch homebrew, Nintendo has also been busy working on a firmware update for the Nintendo Switch. System software version 16.0.3 is available to download, bringing only the expected stability. SwitchBrew has created an entry for this new update, while SciresM is yet to confirm if this impacts Atmosphere CFW in any way.

[UPDATE] Atmosphere is indeed impacted by this firmware, do not update until further notice.

Sysmodule SwIPC-generation .info files for the following hac report is now available/updated: https://t.co/CYBXVCZzDh

Someone tried to update the Switch firmware + atmo and to launch Zelda TOTK ? To know if it's safe

 

[koyuki38]

I'm tired of all that useless updates that always halfly brick my device.

Each time i always do same procedure:
- update all files in the sd card
- install fw with daybreak

It ALWAYS ends in a black screen not being rcm when it reboots. I have to push randomly power button, plug/unplug power cable and pray for the Switch to finally detect the payload injecter.

F-off

lol well that fixed everything! only four minutes after my post! I feel so spoiled!
edit: now I see what you all were saying about lockpick.

Does lockpick not work on 16.0.3?

 

[jakl_53]

I dont quite understand what you mean? Do i need to be on a specific firmware version?

I got the game but when i try to install via dbi it says the files are corrupt

I don't know what I mean either. I'm also not sure what firmware you are on. I'm assuming relatively recent. And I was also agreeing with you about not breaking a working system. I always have issues updating my switch. I basically only update when a game requires it. Not sure what FW TOTK needs but I know it's not 16.0.3. Personally I would just troubleshoot why your game won't install first. Because even if you update your FW you will probably have the same error about the files being corrupt.

I read online somewhere about needing to be 15+ but yes got it
I will further troubleshoot

If it's because of Zelda is pointless at least until some new update cause Zelda + update 1.1.0 is running fine on my Switch FW 15.0.0...

?? are you sure? did you use SAK to re-sign the update?? 1.1.0 didn't fly on 15.0.0 for me.

Something is going on with sigpatches, or somehow they're not being loaded because I keep getting the "Unable to start software" error when loading games. So hold off...

the sigpatches linked to in the sigpatches thread are incomplete and cause this problem unless you overwrite old sigpatches, get good working ones from here https://sigmapatches.coomer.party/

cause you have shit/mods/cheats in your atmo/contents folder, delete it. Instead of praying just hold the power button for 15 seconds then rcm boot and use injector.

Thanks for your help. The sigpatches you linked were the first I tried. I tried everything else too. I also tried recreating my atmosphere/ and bootloader/ folders, which didn't help. Atmosphere works fine. But I'm getting errors when trying to install titles with tinfoil or dbi, or play any games. I don't know what's unique to my set up since most others had success.

Holy crap, it works now. I had to use the fix archive bit utility in hekate. Man, I should I have tried that sooner. Typically I've been able to set the bit via command line without issue so not sure why I had to use the utility this time. Anyway, thanks for your help!

How easy would it be to make a repo that links everything you need to download to keep up-to-date? Can I link to coomer party on GitHub, lol. That is a real question.

Well, I should have used AIO Switch Updater. I don't think I would have messed up the archive bits that way. I still had to put the firmware files on the sd card manually though

Besides the bit correction, the rest could be solved by a simple batch file to save you a click.

Yeah, I basically have a couple of commands that (usually) work that equate to a shell script (rsync, chflags -R [arch|noarch], etc). I'm on MacOS/Linux and have a lot of command line shell experience and I dual boot Windows so it's a pain to switch. I probably should just run a Windows virtual machine but I've been able to get by without it. But I lost a lot of time troubleshooting this last issue so I may just start using Windoze, haha

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. Maybe stop doing that “same procedure”, because it’s wrong. I would say I NEVER boot to black screen after an update, but it did happen to me 1 time. Either I botched the way I updated, or maybe an update touched boot0 and not all of them do? I dunno... Anyway, I just had to clear/retrain my mod chip so it could inject its payload back into boot0. On my release Switch, I can say NEVER.

I updated Atmosphere, hekate, and sigpatches, as soon as the latest hekate came out. No issues With 16.0.3. Didn’t even need to clear/retrain my mod chip. Also ran Lockpic_RCM and dumped keys, but there doesn’t appear to be any new keys. Not sure what this update does at all, but I’m sure the latest ToTK patch runs without it.

Dude remake your SD Card setup. Sounds like you boot an file pointing to nothing.

 

[urherenow]

Wonder when 16.0.3 keys will be dumped….

Who said there were new keys? Everything working fine for me as-is.

 

[Yachtmaster]

Switch v1 - everything fine here too with update 16.0.3 incl. Zelda & cheats

 

[Tails54321]

Sounds good guys, ill go to 16.0.3 the next time i feel the need to go to sysnand, no real need tho atm, 1 game on emunand is keeping my attention for a while

 

[guily6669]

?? are you sure? did you use SAK to re-sign the update?? 1.1.0 didn't fly on 15.0.0 for me.

I didn't do anything, I just downloaded the XCI version and installed the game with tinfoil and it's running fine, then the update came out, I also downloaded it and just installed.

I also updated my old atmosphere to 1.5.2 and hekate to 6.0.3, bit it's unrelated as I haven't updated FW neither sigpatches, I'm; still on FW15.0.0...

 

[Psd99]

Is anyone else really confused? The top of this thread says do not update
Is that still the case? Lots of people having problems by the looks of it

 

[Yachtmaster]

well, to be honest ... I was a bit worried coz of the comments too, so a backup of the sdcard was made before the action ... Atmosphere & Hekate updated with AIO Updater, then copied the sig-patches from Mr.Dude (thx 4 that!) and the FW from github with Daybreak ... everything smooth without any error message or black screen ... I guess there is a little bit of panic in the house coz of the Z-leak
