I got my switch this week, so I'm very new to this. I would like to know if it's safe to play online with a cfw as long as the game is an original copy from eshop.
If on Windows do you find an APX Device in your Device Manager?@Draxzelex Thank you.
Two other questions :
- I am trying to boot into RCM using a jig in the right controller tray, and pressing Volume+/Power. Screen stay black, no Nintendo logo, as it should. When I connect to the computer, Hekate dosen't reorganize my device. I tried a few time by removing and reinserting the jig, but still nothing. How can I get the console to be recognized by Hekate?
- Also, I have a brand new SD card formatted to exfat. Since it require Internet to be used (I have never used it with the switch and it needs activation), does it mean that I need to wait for the 6.2 hack to be released before getting any CFW?
Also what does TegraRCM Smash Gui shows?
I just bought my switch and its running firmware 4.1, I followed all the steps in the guide to launch homebrew and I launch the firmware CFW in RCM mode but when I get back to the home screen its telling me to update my system to be able to read my sd card. I need help can someone please tell me what to do from here? I really don't want to update and end up with firmware 6.2
You don't "install" CFW, you run it but yes you can use CFW/homebrew.
@Draxzelex Thank you

- Try connecting the Switch to the computer before you enter RCM
- Format your SD card to FAT32. If it is bigger than 32 GB, you will need to use a third-party tool such as GUIFormat.
No because .NSP files can be dumped from RCM which cannot be patched via a firmware update.
This thread details the safest way to play online with a hacked console.
That prompt is for the exFAT patch which your SD card is currently formatted to. Format your SD card to FAT32. If it is bigger than 32 GB, you will need to use a third-party tool such as GUIFormat.
It might be a while before we have an exploit for patched units. I advise looking for an unpatched one. If its used, make sure it is not running firmware 6.2
Very important question please ansewr.If I install for example Reinx on my switch , will I be able to play the nsp installed games on my tv with the Dock?
And also Will I be able to use the gamecube controller adapter at the same time?

Thanks very much.Another question if you or anyone else knows,about the getting banned issue, I dont wont to play online at all for now, I just want to instal Reinx because from what I usdrstand it is the only cfw right now that you can play free games on, but my question is will the console be banned just by installing reinx?I repeat that I dont want to play online games at all right now.
So just making sure. Even if it's a launch switch. If it updated to 6.2 it can't run cfw as of right now correct?
Cool thanks. Guess im the only one with access to smash right now within my group of friends. They bout to harass the hell out me lol.
how do i check my fuses i bought a switch with 6.0.1 immediately updated to 6.1 before doing anything I believe. so it sounds like no fuses were burnt
if its best to be on 5.1 id like to downgrade even tho i have zero problems now. seems more risky to downgrade to 5.1 anyways risking ban going online tho, hmm either way the info would be nice to know how to do ti

Not directly. You have to install the .XCI games with a homebrew application such as dOPUS/n1dus or ZeroTwoXCI.
If the console came on firmware 6.X, its fuses are most likely already burnt to a count of 7 meaning you can't downgrade to 5.X without bypassing the fuse check aka using a substitute bootloader. You can check your fuse count with either Hekate or briccmii.
ive never used hekate or briccmii and not sure where to find them ? homebrew section?
and the nsw was stock not like modded or anything so im just not sure how the whole fuse process works I suppose updating at all thru nintendos servers must burn them with the implied context of your response

Hello everyone,
I have some questions /problems (?) and I hope someone can help me out. So I own a switch since day 1 + SX Pro (Dongle + Jig)
I think I made a backup of my NAND so far but thats it.
My switch is currently on 5.1.0 BUT I used ChoiDujourNX to get on this firmware. If I remember right, AutoRCM is enabled by "default" after updating to 5.1.0 (or whatever FW that would burn fuses)
So the first problem is, that I can't boot into SX CFW even with the jig + dongle (RCM is activated). The only way is to get a USB cable and sent the CTCaer Hekate payload to the switch and from this part I inject the SX Payload, so I can finally boot into SX. Is there maybe a "fix" or other way to do it?
My second question is if it is necessary to "protect" the fuses? I mean after seraching for some tools / homebrews they'll always get updates for the newest FW. I mean everything works so far but it is kinda laborious to get everything running. Isn't a Mod Chip like SwitchME the best choice for me?
and the last question: What is the difference between XCI and NSP? NSP will be installed on the NAND or how can I imagine that? With SX I only put the XCI on the SD card and thats it. So is the NSP basicly an internal installation?
Thanks in advance for any helpful comment.

is it too late to make a backup of your nand after you have updated/ran installed cfw?
i have NOT done that yet and now have a memory card and time to spare to do this, if its not too late whats the most simple method of getting this done - as I understand its around 29 gb of space that will be used and it takes several hours for it to complete do you need to make a bakcup of this everytime you switch fw ? or upgrade? and then whats the method of actually using this backup to help you in a situation where you are bricked or stuck and would have to use this at all? worst fear would be a corrupted sd card for myself based on reasons ive read it happening so not too concerned but safe than sorry is the way to go
