Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[vcintra]

Hello, I recently bought a used OLED switch with HWFLY modchip instaled. I'd like to do a clean cfw install. How can I do that? If I format the SD or initialize the console in the system menu will be enough?

Spent the whole day trying to fix this, and I'm beyond frustrated at this point, so I am asking for help lol. I'll try to explain every step clearly.

I recently had a Picofly chip installed in my patched V2 Switch. I received the Switch back yesterday and have been using the following guide to get a CFW running on my Switch: https://rentry.org/SwitchHackingIsEasy

Following this, I have been able to open Hekate. The first potential issue arose when backing up my Nand, and when creating a partition based EmuNand. I received an error that said "your emmc is initialized in slower mode". I wiped my card and started the process over again, and received the same error, but it did not stop me from proceeding so I continued the setup.

Once I completed the setup, I tried to launch atmosphere, and have been receiving the fatal error "unable to identify package 1 atmosphere"

I have verified my SD Card is legit, wiped the card and set it up again from scratch, ensured I was using the latest version of atmosphere and fusee. I think I am using the latest sig patches as well.

Can anybody help me finally get this CFW launched? Let me know if anymore info is needed.

Check under hekate and see what brand emmc you got.

Here is what I see when I look into my emmc

Check your soldering, SK Hynix have the slower mode issue.

Does the slower mode issue makes the Switch unusable? I don't think I can even boot into the normaI firmware either. I shipped this across the country to get modded, so if its a soldering issue I fear I will likely have to ship it back. Should I tell him to change the emmc to a different brand?

It can mean the emmc is dying, usually SK Hynix have this problem not commonly for Samsung emmc. You have to open it up and check if any components is damaged or anything is bridged.

The emmc is what is shipped by Nintendo. I think you should ask your installer these questions, they would be better suited to answer them.

I'm after Edizon Cheat codes for Metroid dread. I've found some and the title I'd matches but the build number is different, does this matter. The title ID is 010093801237C000 and the build number is 646761F643AFEBB3. Does the build number matter? Thanks in advance guys, any help and advice on this will be very much appreciated.

I can't seem to be able to short the right pins to enter RCM and it's making me go crazy. What am I doing wrong?

Another question. Is it possible I have a Nand issue that is causing these problems? I am unable to boot up the Switch in Sysnand and the OFW as well which is strange to. I simply get the Nintendo logo, then a black screen. At this point it practically feels bricked.

Is it possible that my boot 0 is corrupted, and fixing this could solve my problems? Should I be trying any specific unbricking guides, or do my specific issues not point to any of these fixes?

The problem point to the emmc module, it is a physical hardware problem if the emmc is dying.

how to use cheats? i have modded switch. and aio updater still dont have cheats for totk 1.1.1. how can i use this one?

https://github.com/bad1dea/NXCheats/tree/main/The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

 

[ClumpPridd]

So I'm wanting to overclock TotK mem to 1862mhz. I'm just about to do it but I noticed people saying that this isn't natively available in SYS CLK? The youtube video I originally watched that inspired me to give it a go was Modern Vintage Gamer. On his video it says "SYS CLK OC" overlay. How do I obtain this version? I can only find information for "Switch OC Suite". Is this the same thing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm so close to playing this game and I would like to have the best possible experience of it. Cheers.

Majority of the HWFLY, RP2040 Boards come from Aliexpress.

Can i use an hwfly without an emmc board?
i ducked up my emmc board trying to install a pikofly, so now the switch doesnt even turn on to rcm with it atached(maybe a short or something, im not trying any longer)

I can install the CPU flex very easily but i just cant seem to be able to do the other wires.

Can i just use a hwfly with hekate and use only an emuNand without a eMMC board attached?

(i have a v1 patched)
