And, after the 3DS got its recent system update, this time it looks like it's the Switch's turn. Firmware 9.1.0 has been released by Nintendo for all regions and the changelog states it's meant to fix an issue with the colour animation not showing correctly when attaching a Joy-Con to the console... alongside with the usual stability. However, there may also be something else under the hood, as @SciresM has warned that TrustZone might have received an undocumented change, so current CFWs may break if you install the update.

Ver. 9.1.0 (Released December 4, 2019)

General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience, including a solution for the following:

• Resolved an issue where the color animation was not displaying correctly when attaching a Joy-Con controller to the Nintendo Switch console.

On a Wednesday :(

Looks like TrustZone might have updated -- if it did, I'll stream diffing later tonight. https://t.co/0CfRnFkgY8

Needless to say, given those premises, it may be best to avoid updating for the moment if you're running a CFW or if you wish to mod your console. Not much else is known at the time of writing - this post will be updated with any useful hacking and homebrew-related info.

EDIT: For devs (and the curious), a summary of the TrustZone changes by SciresM found in FW 9.1.0 is now available here.

EDIT 2: SX OS, Atmosphère and Hekate have all been updated to support firmware 9.1.0 since then.

Yeah I can't run sysNAND anymore It just keeps routing me back to the Atmosphere loading screen.

 

[chrisrlink]

wonder if they fixed the mod chip supposably to be released before it even does?

The chip will require a lower firmware at this point considering we are bound to have more new updates before it gets released.

Means a system nand is 9.1. emuand is still 9.0.1

Can work fine.

I can confirm that this works for me as well.

Fuuuuccck, ugh this is terrible news. And i've never heard of that bug or encountered it in my life e.e;...s..so what the actual hell is nintendo trying to do here??

 

[Keylogger]

Ok lets wait 8 months for a tx update

 

[lynyrd]

Hey guys I got the update but I didn't update yet, can I factory reset without getting the update?

 

[bahamut920]

What? I bought two Switches and made damn sure they were both with black joy-cons. The red/blue ones look awful to me.

I only have one, but yeah, I don't like the "neon" look.

 

[Reploid]

Stability: *exist*
Big N: Let's improve it!

 

[Chosokabe]

Anyone know how to fix this? Since the new update crashed out my switch and sent it into the loop I tried rebooting into the normal nintendo firmware but it keeps looping me back with Hekate and i'm stuck

You can normally boot into your sysNAND, but Nintendo has borked CFW completely with this new update. I can't get into CFW at all thanks to my stupidity.

wait till atmos gets a stable release... or boot your nand back up

 

[Chosokabe]

I actually cant even boot nand (assuming that you mean the stock firmware), It just loops me back into Hekate

 

[masagrator]

shown my telegram grp chat members the video already

the SX os discord also put the news up too as they tested it as well

Emunand working on compatible FW is nothing new, I was referring to working 9.1.0 on emunand.

 

[lynyrd]

Can I install emunand even with the update msg around? I didn't install it

 

[johnma2]

Yes, you can. Be careful f that update prompt though.

Update: So when my CFW got borked and I couldn't even get into the hekate menu, I went into my SD card I took the hekate payload and deleted it from my AceNS dongle for RCM mode. I then re-copied the one I had to the dongle and now I'm able to get back into hekate, however I still can't boot into CFW. I guess updating the console in any way has a great chance of corrupting the way Atmosphere boots.

It's best to just wait on it. SciresM was live streaming what looked like him working on a fix earlier so in due time

Right, that's what I was believing I should do as well. I just wanted to get the hekate menu working again, that's all.

But I need to enter on boot menu, is that safe? I'm new on this so idk if the switch will update automatically before or after shutdown

It shouldn't auto-update at all if you have that set in your system menu. There's an option to turn them off anyways.
