Homebrew Question Restoring Switch Backup

[RHOPKINS13]

Ok, I screwed up and am kicking myself right now. Had 5.0.2, and was enjoying the Mario Tennis Aces online demo this morning. I was getting the update nag, but I was planning on using maintenance mode to delete the update, which I've done before.

Anyway, dummy me was hitting buttons too fast and accidentally hit update. I tried to turn the Switch off but the update only took like 3 seconds and to my dismay I ended up on 5.1.0.

I really badly want to get back to 5.0.2. Does anybody know if the 5.1.0 update burned any efuses? Because if not, I'll gladly restore my backup I made from Hekate (though I may try to use Checkpoint to backup my Pokemon Quest save first).

There's no way to restore a NAND backup as of this point yet. Also, downgrading is impossible at the moment.

It doesn't really matter anyways. You can do the same stuff on 5.1.0 that you could do on 5.0.2

You can downgrade to any previous FW if no fuses were burned between the target FW and the one u are on.

5.1.0 did not burn any fuses so if you mount the Switches emmc using hacdiskmount you can use a disk image writer to downgrade using your rawnand dump.

You can downgrade...

5.1.0 did not burn any fuses so if you mount the Switches emmc using hacdiskmount you can use a disk image writer to downgrade or copy/paste files.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! That's exactly what I needed to know!

To my knowledge, this is not the case. The homebrew menu still needs to be updated, along with other homebrew. I'm just hoping Checkpoint will still work.

I'm also worried about if Nintendo added any CFW-detection methods to 5.1.0.

No problem, lower is always better so as long as you are able to downgrade there is no reason not too.

I don't think there is a writeup on the method anywhere, but is simple enough to understand without.

Can you give me a quick walkthrough write up? I also did the same thing. Thanks

try this, no idea if that will help tho

Has touch support too!

But I think the loader (kip or exefs) is actually at fault, not the hbmenu, but idk.

Yeah, replacing the hbmenu.nro with other homebrew is not working. It must be something else . Also thank you for all your work! Been following your progress closely and it has been really impressive.

Is there no payload for restoring nand from sd? I thought I read someone had made one for themselves.

gptrestore
Restores the original Nintendo Switch GPT to your eMMC if you somehow messed it up

• v1 (16.05.2018) gptrestorev1.zip - Initial release

 

[Hondyn]

Relax dude, atmosphere will be around in a couple days

 

[subcon959]

That's not for full nand backups though right?

 

[thaikhoa]

It isn't a rawnand restore but partition restore.

 

[BlastedGuy9905]

This thread was one that actually taught me a lot. Huh. Didn't really get the "burning the eFuses" thing before.

huh ? you sure ? lmao, it may boot but according to the github progress it's not even functional, you are better off with hekate for now until they reimplement the suspend feature....(you'd have to wait 6 months more until you get something stable)

According to SciresM the loader isn't at fault.

Its the version everyones using till now, thats affected

Just like when everyone was using the 4x and 5x hekate forks when they couldve just used the main one (by now)...

The loader that was shared everywhere was based of a early version of the atmosphere loader
