Hacking Question about RCM Mode and Updates.

[MikeyTaylorGaming]

This won't be hard for people to answer, I'm pretty sure of that.

1: I've got a couple of .NSP games installed on my Switch. At the moment I've got AutoRCM enabled, if I turn it off would the games load in OFW? (I don't want to use OFW in case I want to downgrade, but I doubt I'll ever want to. It's just a precaution.)

2: I'm guessing that in RCM Mode, you HAVE to inject a payload to get the console to boot and the reason it doesn't boot is because you've entered a mode that want's to know what to do next? Either to repair the console (Official use?) or to enter CFW (Our use?)

3: With regards to the updates. How in the hell do I get rid of the 6.2.0 update that's moaning at me to update everytime I run a game on my switch? I know I'm gonna spam update sometime soon. I know that recovery mode by holding the 2 volume buttons on the switch apparently wipes the update and stops the nagging, but I can't do that with AutoRCM can I? Which is why this is a follow up question to the first hahaha

1. Nope.
2.?
3. Remove any WIFI settings. Hekate -> launch -> stock or Hekate -> reboot to stock and hold vol + and - to boot to maintenance mode /recovery menu. Then just force shut down from there and reboot.

With number 2, I'm referring to if the console is powered down fully. Trying to turn it back on just leaves it sat at a black screen until I inject the ReiNX Payload to boot into CFW haha.

And, Hekate... I assume there's a handy dandy guide to getting it running? I've not had a look, but have had a read about the program. Not in depth though. Appreciate the help with it though!

Aweome. Thanks a lot.

Last question then. When I load up 'Stock', will it burn my fuses if I go straight to recovery mode?

Nope. In order to burn fuses, you have to boot through default bootloader, which never happens when booting through RCM.

Great. Thanks for your help. Appreciate it and can't wait to get rid of that damn update prompt.
