Hacking Sigpatches for Atmosphere (Hekate, fss0, fusee & package3)

[linuxares]

I'm sorry, you lost me with this!
I planned on updating Atmosphere and Hekate, leaving emunand on 14.1.2, and updating sysnand to 15.0 (in CFW mode), then using it to play online (in Stock mode) like I normally do. Am I missing something?
Also I thought CFW prevented fuses from being blown though I'm not sure if I'd ever have a need for downgrading anyways.

Atmosphere blocks fuses from blowing. So it should be fine

 

[ShadowOne333]

I used the one my tool made, as that one is correct and the one on "that site" is wrong. If in doubt - use these.

I'll update the OP with these patches tomorow
Please guys, remind me tomorrow so I don't forget

How many times have you accidentaly pressed the power button and not booted into Atmosphere or Hekate? I've done it a thousand times and it's very easy to do and blow your fuses. That's why it's best to just keep sysnand untouched and use emunand. But Yes I do agree with you that Atmosphere blocks fuses from blowing - but also accidents happen, so it's better to cover all your bases if you can.

it is. I use autorcm personally so it always boots hekate with atmosphere. I only use sysnand.
And I agree, cover is the best way!

You've got me all paranoid now
Well I also use autoRCM, I don't think it's even possible to turn on this console normally without injecting a payload, if that's what you mean (I have tried)
Thanks for all the help friends!

 

[ShadowOne333]

Screw it, had some quick spare time to update the patches in the OP.
Current beta patches are now for FW 15.0.0 and Atmosphere 1.4.0
Thank you mrdude for all the hard work!

If you have autorcm on that's fine. But remember it can also cause issues - especially if your sd card becomes corrupted and you can't start your switch and if your battery is flat and the switch is off - it can be a pain to get it to charge again as it will get stuck in a boot loop where when the charger is connected, the switch tries to turn itself on auomatically, then shutdowns and keeps doing this forever. I've had this happen a couple of times in the past and you need to inject a payload to get out of the loop.

It wasn't hard work on my part - TBH "that site" provided the FS patches, albeit with one of the ips files being wrong - but still they did provide the offsets and patches so hats off to them for that, and lets give credit where it's due for that.

I forgot, when updating can I still use my boot logo inside exefs_patches folder? Or do I have to remake them?

You need new patches for each new firmware, on the tutorial are the instructions: https://gbatemp.net/threads/custom-boot-logo-tutorial.619725/#post-9964121

FYI for those confused about the patches, this is what they are for:

Loader Patch Required for:
Running NRO Forwarders and Installed homebrews.
Running Installed XCI games.

Loader patch not required to:
Run (some) previously installed NSP. (if valid tickets exist)
Run non installed homebrew.
Install NSP/XCI - (but will not run these if a valid ticket does not exist).

FS Patches required to:
Run installed XCI/NRO forwarders, and will give a corruption error when trying to run the installed XCI or NRO forwarder if no fs patches are applied or are wrong (you will also need to reinstall the game or nro forwarder if this happens).

Fs Patches not required to:
Run installed NSP files with valid tickets.
Run Homebrew
Install NSP/XCI - (with a valid header)

ES Patches are required to:
Run installed NSP
Install NSP files without errors.

ES Patches are NOT required to:
Run installed XCI
Run installed NRO forwarders.
Run homebrew
Install XCI files.

Always wondered about this. Thank you for spelling it out!

Yep I should probably update the IPS patches app info boxes to make it clearer for people.

Well I'm interested in playing online on Stock sysnand, can't do it if I'm not on the latest version.
Can I just update the sysnand and leave the emunand as it is for the time being?

yes its what I always do they are two separate things. I find it pointless to worry about fuses and all that crap

 

[Rahkeesh]

I thought booting into any payload bypassed the fuse thing, even if you launched OFW from hekate? So AutoRCM pretty much protects you. That's separate from the gamecard fuses though.

 

[linuxares]

Guys don't worry about fuse blowing. Realistically. You will never downgrade anyway.

But how will I boot SXOS without 11.0.0 then?!?!

people are stuck with the false hope of an older firmware getting a proper hack. far as I'm concerned the current hack is good enough to not make it worth the trouble

thanks but that's a little to advanced for me. I have no idea what you are saying needs to be done. maybe some more detail would help or morel inks?

 

[idoctorhacker]

Wow I asked here if mrdude's patches is most correct, and just after few hours it's in the OP. Thank you @mrdude and @ShadowOne333 for your work!

 

[mrdude]

But how will I boot SXOS without 11.0.0 then?!?!

Emunand on 11.0.1.

Actually I keep mine on 11.0.0 - I did have it on 7.0.2, but I accidentally updated and blew a gamecard fuse so was forced to update.....meh! I still use SXOS to update Atmosphere without needing to take the sd card out of the switch, because when you are using sxos you can ftp into the switch and overwrite Atmosphere files because they are not in use and the Atmosphere folder can be removed and reinstalled with a clean version.
