Hi all,
After a year of playing 100% offline using 6.0.1 and CFW, I’m ready to go back to stock so that I can play online and not worry anymore.
I’ve restored my original 3.0.1 BOOT0, BOOT1, and full NAND. This was a 100% stock backup I made using Hekate before ever booting my into the Switch OS with any mods.
The restore worked and I’m able to boot it using Hekate (to bypass the burnt fuse check)
Here’s my current dilemma - I have burnt fuses and an updated game cart, so even though I can successfully boot into 3.0.1, I can’t update my firmware using any game carts since my game cart doesn’t work on 3.0.1 (I understand this is my fault and why it happened, I’m currently looking for solutions).
My ultimate goal is to get on the latest stock firmware without risking ban by going online to update. Perhaps I’m being overly cautious, and it’s ok to go online for a few min on my restored 3.0.1 sysnand just to grab the update, but I want to double check first.
I also tried copying over a downloaded system://placehld folder from another switch that had 9.0.1 downloaded but not yet installed, to my own switch, but that didn’t make my switch prompt me to update. (I did all of this using Hacdiskmount).
What is my best course of action going forward? I just want to get on 9.0.1 (latest) and be 100% stock for the rest of my Switch’s life. Thank you all for the help!
