Hardware Switch NAND upgrade

[DestinySky]

Did you use modified Hekate to restore nand? Sorry I still have my EMMCs on order.

Yes I did.

theres also this but i have still yet to try it out.

and also did you restore the gpt table?

Unable to restore the GPT table, some errors come out.

Nice so this avoids the whole linux part from the other guide i'm assuming

Yea will try the nandpart.

Doesn't seems to have a compiled binary that we can use?

How would one get their xci games on their? FTP?

This isn't really the thread to ask questions like those; next time you have general Switch questions, I'd reccomend you post them here.

That said, it depends on what you want to do with your .XCIs -- if you plan on mounting them and playing them with SX OS, then the best way to transfer them is probably FTP if you don't want to move them with an SD card reader on your computer. Else, if you want to install them on your system, I would convert them to .NSP with 4NXCI, and install them via USB with Fluffy and Tinfoil (Adubbz)

Who died and made you mod? This is the best thread to ask as what would one do with all that space if they prefer XCI over NSP.

This thread is about exchanging the NAND chip, not what you put on it.

The partitions are fat32 on the nands so you might run into issues just ftping a large file. But the installers don’t have an issue getting them off the nand. Once installed to the nand either with sxos or tinfoil there’s no issues with the 4g cap. you can use the nut server/ usb installs from your pc or split your files to get around it.

nice guide here:

 

[Onlyd]

yes i saw that and he seems to not know how to use NandPart xD

I have ordered a128gb as was not badly priced, not going to do it in my switch as do not want to buy sxos license again so going to get a faulty switch and fix then experiment on that.
Should be fun.....

what type of EMMC does the switch use i might want mine modded too (can't soilder worth a hoot)

It's a Python script, read the readme.

I tried nandpart, it worked well and i could boot to ofw. just read the guide below or use my video guide

 

[DestinySky]

My steps are exactly like the video above except the nandpart, because I cannot even reach there.
I got the error below after restoring nand backup:

Failed to decrypt Package2 header (master key revision 4)

1. Backup the console's NAND using Hekate
2. Get your Biskey with TegraRcmGUI
3. Remove the eMMC module
4. Install the new upgraded eMMC module
5. Restore the NAND
6. Boot it, the console should boot normally
7. Send memloader payload with a dongle
8. Make a Gparted live USB drive with Rufus, boot it
9. Boot Gparted, connect the console to the computer, and refresh the Partition.
10. Fix the GPT if prompted
11. Turn off the console, send memloader with windows TegraRcmGUI
12. Download Nandpart
13. Install Python, and open Command Prompt as an administrator, run the command, (see my previous post about installing Nandpart)
14. Run Nandpart, select physical drive, Resize it.
15. Run Hacdiskmount, select physical drive, press Yes if prompted about emmc, select primary
16. Mount the USER partition with, use the biskey 3
17. copy the content of. USER partition to the computer
18.format the mounted drive using fat32format
19. copy back the content of the USER partition

Someone can send link to 256 nand and plate to put nand and plug? (Not ready solution for 150$...)
Anyway i'm wonder about galaxy note 9 (512) and s10 (512/1tb) solution. If it is in one memory chip or more.

KLUGGAR1FA-B2C1 1TB
KLUFG8R1EM-B0C1 512GB

I'm also looking for the little board the nand sits on.
Any luck?

No at all

How is buying new KLMDGAGEAC-B001 “128GB” for $61 on aliexpress then reflowing them on new replacement modules scalping? My supplier through alibaba charges me $114 for new SDINBDA4 256GB, still cheaper then the arrow option at 152 units at $176. If someone on the trading forums are also selling these preflowed at different prices that’s because I don’t have access to the trading forums atm, And to my knowledge the only one to try to offer them on eBay or Etsy. XD I never been called a scalper before. Maybe some day I’ll get access to the trading fourms and I’m sure I’ll be more then happy to help more people out, who don’t want to do smt rework and micro soldiering. But even if there is ones available on the trading fourms, I would be a scab at best here =P.

Hi Onlyd, do you have any idea where i could purchase the memory module board from without the nand chip?

 

[toxic9]

How do you change the chip? Does it require any micro soldering?
Or is it pluggable?
