[Patched 4.1.0] Switch getting Yellow and Black screen & acting scary

It would make sense to only show the options available to you but it appears Hetake isn't checking if you have an emunand/EmuMMC partition/file setup yet.

If you try and load CFW/Stock (Emunand), it doesn't (or at least didn't when I tried) prevent you and then simply boots into Sysnand on CFW/Stock.

You can verify this by going to Settings > System and the version should be 4.1.0 (AMS 0.92)

I bought a patched 4.1.0 unit my self a couple of days ago and initially getting no where fast.

Ultimately you need to make sure your SD Card is formatted in FAT32 with 32kb clustering and then make sure you download the latest files from SDSetup, as there was a bug a few days ago that caused problems with Atmosphere etc.

The latest versions of ChoiDujourNX etc all detect iPatched units and prevent you from selecting AutoRCM.

 

If you ever accidentally turned on autoRCM youd have a paperweight that does nothing but boot to a black screen

 

Since when has their been stock emunand? I always though emunand was run on CFW?

 

Imagine it's just running emunand without any payload injection

Pretty sure if you're getting that far, you're still ok. When do you get the yellow screen and what are you trying to do now?

 

I think you should qbRAuy advice from the team atlas nx discord (team atlas nx is the team behind pegascape )

• The "Archive Bit * AutoRCM" is just a tab with more menu options. Hekate will never let you enable AutoRCM on an IPATCHED Switch, so there is no worry of enabling it (from Hekate, YMMV in other homebrew). I'll update the guide to mention this.
• Sleep causing problems sounds like Hekate might be having some problems. I've uploaded a newer Hekate build to SDSetup, could you try redownloading (just click Atmosphere (Kosmos) and hit download, extract to SD and overwrite) and see if that fixes it?
• You should not really use stock in emuMMC at all. Hekate's "stock" is sort of a lie, as it still runs three pieces of CFW that are necessary to make the Switch boot and to make emuMMC work (custom warmboot, custom secmon, emummc kipm). CFW alone won't get you banned, so it's safe to just boot with CFW into a "stock" emuMMC even if you want to go online and don't plan on doing anything detectable. It's probably safer to use full CFW than just some of it since Atmosphere has some anti-telemetry built in.
• Every "good" emuMMC guide I've seen involves wiping the SD card. This is totally unnecessary. Our guide for emuMMC will hopefully be out by tomorrow (not two weeks heh). I've written most of it for Windows at this point, just need to rewrite it for Linux.

 

As per my reply. You need to make sure the SD Card is formatted in FAT32 with 32kb clustering and get the "latest" files from SDSetup. As I previously mentioned, I was downloading files that contained a bug that directly affected 4.1.0 units.

So, this is how I have successfully done it...

1. Go to SDSetup, download Kosmos + PegaScape, with Signature Patches enabled.
2. Follow the Setting up the SD Card - Partitioning portion of https://www.scenefolks.com/pages.php?page=4210
3. Extract the zip from #1.
4. Copy contents from the payloads folder into sd/bootloader/payloads
5. Copy contents of sd into your primary partition (the larger of the two)
6. Insert the SD into the switch and boot into hetake as usual.
7. If you haven't already, DO THIS! https://switch.homebrew.guide/hacking/caffeine/safetyprecautions
8. Once complete, get back to hetake and click on EmuMMC.
9. Click on Create EmuMMC and select SD Partition.
10. Once complete, get press B a few times to get back to the main hetake screen and click reload.
11. Click on EmuMMC to ensure you have enabled in the top left. If not, press Change EmuMMC and select an option from the left.
12. Now, press B a few times to get back to the main hetake screen and click Launch > CFW (Emunand)

If you happen to restart the Switch, you'll boot back into OFW, so you will need to:

• Click on News > ReSwitched.
• Follow instructions (Caffeine, tap textbox, wait 5 seconds and press power)
• In hetake, click on Launch > CFW (Emunand)

There are ways to get around this I think but for my own sanity sake, I do this manually.

Once in CFW (Emunand) you need to make sure you are still on 90DNS, or airplane mode.

Then you can use cartridges to play games, or load them over USB with goldleaf.

Because my Switch came with Crash Team Racing, inserting that and installing it, upgraded my firmware to 7.1.0.

If you were to reboot your switch and Settings > System (before going through ReSwitched etc) you will see the firmware of your Sysnand is still 4.1.0 and after booting into CFW (Emunand) it will be different.

From there, I use choidujournx to install 8.1.0:

• Download choidujournx (https://switchtools.sshnuke.net/)
• Extract and copy ChoiDujourNX.nro to switch folder on SD Card.
• Download the NX-8.1.0.zip
• Create Firmware folder on SD Card.
• Extract NX-8.1.0.zip and copy all files in the folder into the Firmware folder from above.
• Insert the SD Card back into the Switch.
• Boot into CFW (Emunand) and check System > Settings to make sure you see (AMS 0.92) in the firmware version.
• Click home button.
• Hold R and press Album twice.
• Click on choidujournx.
• Click on Choose (bottom right)
• Click on 8.1.0 (or 8.1.0 exfat if you decided to format your SD with exfat)
• Click on Select Firmware (bottom right)
• Note on the left that "Prevent fuse burning (enable AutoRCM)" has a X and on the right, it mentions AutoRCM is disabled due to the device being patched. You do not need to change anything, this is forcibly disabled.
• Once complete, click Reboot.

After clicking Reboot it took me back to hetake, where I selected Launch > CFW (emunand)

Now you will be on 8.1.0 on Emunand but 4.1.0 on Sysnand.

Installing games can be done using Goldleaf. Plenty of tutorials etc on that around these parts.

HTH

Oh... And, if you have problems with homebrew showing nothing, delete the Switch folder, boot into CFW (emunand) and load hbmenu.

Once you have done this, you can copy the contents of the switch folder from the SDSetup files back into the switch folder on the SD Card and it should work.

 

Basicly you’re saying that upgrading emuNAND this way wont burn any fuse, since the Nintendo Switch will reboot into Hekate after installing. Am I right?

So using ChoiDujourNX on emuNAND will ONLY affect the emuNAND and never sysNAND.

Just wanted to be 100% sure before I go ahead with this.

Really thanks for the guide!

 

Hi Francesca!!

Im completely noob on Switch's Scene, and i've an ipatched 4.1.0 switch, like yours.
I've readed a few guides on how to install Atmosphere and emummc, but not followed anyone yet (i hope to get time to do it in a few weeks).

The only thing that i didnt understand is if this is a tethered method, so, if console gets battery depleted, is mandatory to reach PegaScape over internet to had Hetake again??

Thanks in advance for your response, and for share your experiences!!!
