Hacking Restore a 7.0.0 NAND Backup on a console updated to 8.1.0

[elPrro01]

Hello, yesterday I accidentally updated my Nintendo Switch to 8.1.0 while playing with some backup copies in the latest version of Atmosphere.

Now I would like to know if I can restore a NAND backup made in version 7.0.0 with Hekate.

My goal is to play Fortnite and Realm Royale with a minimal risk of being banned.

You would get ban unless the NAND backup is clean, pre custom firmware.

The NAND backup was made before I ran Atmosphere for first time.

Did you updated to 8.1.0 via choidujourNX or was it Nintendo server?

Nintendo server

Nintendo server

It is not going to boot without a bootloader since the fuse count doesn't match.

He will need to update, anyways.

You can restore the backup. Then, you will need to use Hekate to boot OFW since you're going to have a fuse mismatch. After that, you can update to 8.1.0 in the system settings. You won't require Hekate to boot after you update.

Sounds like he was connected online in atmosphere and even connected to nintendo server to update to 8.1.. even if he did load his backup, im sure he has been flagged by now.. depends if/when nintendo wants to pull the trigger

That's very possible, but there's no harm in trying with the steps I outlined. It's the best he can do.

Also, OP, make sure that your backup has BOOT0 and BOOT1 before you try restoring it, or there will be a mismatch and you won't be able to boot even with a custom bootloader.
