Can you show me Console info -> Sd card info
and also which sd card you have (vendor, model, class, UHS, U, GB)

It's a generic 128 sd xc card

Sorry to inform you, but it's a fake one.
I hope you didn't paid a lot. Try to return it.

Have in mind that this price get's a real speedy 16GB.

Don't throw it though.
Use h2testw to find its real size. Then make a partition of a bit less than its real size and format it.
This way you can have it as a slow backup option.

That's the auto power off, if the console was awaken because you powered off from HOS.
Useful to protect your battery from uneeded autorcm.
v4.2 will have an option to disable it.

It works perfectly how it is in 4.1 tho, if you don't want to power off the switch you can choose reboot instead (within hos)

Just curious so I know for future reference but how did you know the SD card was fake from just the picture alone?

I see, is it a feature then, I thought I had corrupted something, I have to thank you then, I once lost 30% of battery over night after shutting it down from cfw, it won't happen again then

True but some may wanted disabled.

Actually that one was pretty obvious.
Vendor to Fw rev: null
SN: clean number
capacity: impossible. it's either 131072MB or lower than 1280000MB (vendor physical partitions)
Rate-UHS grade: there's no 128GB (and generally SDXC) card out there that it's not c10/U1 and not 104MHz.

As long as a dongle/modchip/pc/phone reinjected it after hos power off

Wow your fault. A too good to be true price is almost always too good to be true.

Only if the switch is awaken by pluggîing some usb-c stuff (dongle, phone, computer ) otherwise itwill stay on AutoRCM and will drain the battery....
Édit : oops..too late...I didn’t see you already answered @CTCaer

Hi. I've updated my console from 3.01 to 6.0 using safe update. Everything works fine, but console asks me to update controllers too. Is it safe to update them? Are they going to work, if I downgrade Switch using my 3.01 stock backup?

The joy-con protocol is always compatible, even with 1.0.0.

Well until now ofc. But I don't believe that they will break it in the feature.

Somebody help lol. So all I've done is use my sx xecuter pro to boot up custom. Now im trying to get homebrew. I've moved all the files to the sd card directory (4.1 zip and join er scripts). Hekate loads and says launch (not launch firmware) and when I click instead of having the cfw, stock options like before it has nothing and says "no main configuration found" and just has payloads or more config options..when you click they're empty. Do I need to download something else or move a file somewhere?

 

[CTCaer]

hekate v4.2 is now released!

It's a hotfix version with some quality of life changes.
But it's mandatory if you want the latest support from other devs.

Check OP and changelog for more..


(The features guide will be updated in the next days to accommodate v4.0 and v4.1/2)

Updating hekate is just pushing the new payload instead of the old one? Do i need to remove any file from the SD card? I'm using the SDFiles pack.

Normally you also need to update the libsys_lp0.bso inside bootloader/sys/ also.

But this didn't change, so yeah, you can just push the new payload.

4.1 Does not pick up update.bin 4.2 (it's only once I happened to make)

 

[CTCaer]

Just tried it again. It works.

Where did you put the update.bin?
