Hacking [RCM Payload] Hekate - CTCaer mod

[FearItSelf23]

So I'm using the latest 2.3 build, but for some reason my menu doesn't look like the pictures and I'm missing options like autorcm. Did I misunderstand something?

Not exactly. He stopped open-source projects. He actually made the repo private.

And that's like this project doesn't exist anymore for us. Who knows which improvements he would came up with. We probably will never know.
I'm glad, that at least this awesome fork exists and hope @CTCaer will continue his work which many here really appreciate including myself.

So the hekate-ipl developement by naehrwert has been discontinued because of some dickheads and we won't see any new core functionality?
That is really sad!

I was waiting for the emunand implementation from naehrwert on hekate-ipl. Sadly it will not see the light :c

Can you inform David; https://github.com/DavidBuchanan314/NXLoader

So my sd card got write protection when i was dumping the nand. how can i fix this?

It doesn't really work for 3.X, like you @CTCaer wrote it here in this thread ...

* Working Sleep Mode on 1.0.0-2.X, 4.X-5.X

So why are you writing in your repo "for ALL Switch updates"?

So how it looks like (other than bigger font)?
Are you sure you got 2.3? It has autorcm.

It's possible that a block reached it's max writes and the card got locked. You tried initiliazing it, re-partioning it and re-formating it? Normally smartphones and linux do a good job in these cases (better than windows).

True. I never updated my repo release. I'll fix the misinformation asap.

Probably died because of the reason I mentioned.
The funny thing is that instead of marking that or those blocks as "dead", they just lock the card completely.

This!
I literally threw my 64GB card in the bin out of frustration because of this.

I also RMA'ed an espensive 32 or 64GB (dont remember) Sandisk Extreme Plus because of this.
They told me that it reached maximum writes. And because my card was 98% filled, I came to the conclusion that in this 2% some blocks reached this.

The good thing is that sandisk has 10years warranty with free RMA shipping. They sent me back another one.

Alright yeah its an inexpensive purchase unless i get the 128gb or those expensive brands.

hoping this doesnt happen if i ever get those lol.

If you ever buy an expensive one, buy samsung. Until now they are very reliable and faster than sandisk

the funny thing is my two samsung 64gb i gave away to family.

yeah those are the best had one for a year no issues and its true what you say about them.

yep ditching san disk. only used on switch because i dont really use switch that much but now i gotten a collection of games of offerup for very cheap. so im backing up them up to have on a bigger sd card.

You run switch linux before?

 

[tyler004]

no

 

[CTCaer]

no

You have any custom dock/display adapter that you use?
Additionally, you use AutoRCM?
