Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Hayato213]

Hey people, I hope you are having a nice day.

Well I got a Unpatched Nintendo Switch v1(XAJ7000..) with auto-RCM mode ON, that I can't inject payloads (tried with Hekate). TegraRCM freezes and Rekado does nothing but saying "Unable to get device ID"
My switch has the latest firmware and I heard in forums that maybe it was the cable I was using or the SD card, well I tried with 6 different cables that supports File Transfer and 3 different SD's (Using FAT32 and exFAT formats) and I had the same problem.
I though it was the battery so I tried to charge it by the night by connecting a original charger to it, then press the power button by 30 seconds to assure that the switch got out from the RCM mode.
But the results are the same. I can't do anything here because the switch refuses to receive payloads. Even I tried to power off the switch completely than connect the cable to the PC/Phone to inject the payload, and I tried to reset the console with the cable connected but nothing happens.

I don't know if buying a portable RCMLoader will fix the issue but I can't do anything right now, thank you for your time.

EDIT: Also I tried to inject payloads that does not need SD files as BiskeyDump but also fails

Should be able to inject Hekate if you are on AutoRCM, if you aren't on autoRCM then you need a jig to get into RCM mode. Also check to see if you have the driver suggested above.

 

[Draxzelex]

yes, I think so
BTW, I got my switch to start with the boot.dat? error

I would recommend deleting all of the files from your SD card and downloading new ones online. You can download Atmosphere from its official GitHub page as well as Hekate from its respective page if you use it. If you also pirate games, you will need to redownload the patches from this thread.

My PC detects the Switch on RCM mode

Then after I click inject:

The SD is correct inserted on the Switch, what would you think is wrong, even I tried to inject Payloads that does not require SD data as BisDumpKey, an nothing happens, Maybe the USB Port is damaged?

It looks like you are trying to push an old Hekate.bin (5.00) try this one instead (6.0.7): https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases
Or the Fusee.bin from here: https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases

Try newer hekate.

Try newer hekate.

Sorry for not including more info on the screenshot..
Yes I am injecting updated .bin files, also I copied the 6.0.7 Hekate files into a empty clean SD and nothing happens

Doesn't seem it wants to inject the payload, you might want to try another port/another usb c cable, worse case try another computer

I tried with 6 different cables and 2 different PC's and one Android phone with Rekado. Nothing happens.
One of the cables was the Nintend original cable so I think is something with the console.

I am currently in the process I’m getting ready to install a modchip on my switch oled. I am using an RP 2040 tiny from waveshare. I was not aware until recently that people often install resistors along with the mod chip, and I have been unable to find any links or exact specs for the resistors used. I have heard of people using 10 and some using 47 ohm resistors (and I have not seen anyone specify wattage), so I am not sure what is right. Any and all help (especially links!) is appreciated.

Having an absolute Time with my switch.
I learned that it does not like when nintendo servers are blocked. Not an issue so far, as I don't plan on going online or using the net much for now, but still an issue. What's the best way to combat this?
(To be crystal clear, the error code was 2155-8007)

I also delinked my nintendo account for obvious reasons. And during all this, I archived Animal Crossing, and now cannot get it back without a backup. For backed up games seperated into multiple files (eg part1, part2) how does that work on switch? I'm really, really confused about that.

Thank you! Any help with the other half of my question?

You will have to reinstall the game, but your game saves should be safe.

Your serial number blanked out? You using Linalho?

It was a digital copy of the game -_- I will just reinstall the game, I was wondering about games that get broken up into multiple files

No, I am not using Linalho. I had to look it up actually XD

What firmware are you on, is your serial number blanked out?

 

[enochlinux]

What firmware are you on, is your serial number blanked out?

I have a gen 1 switch from when it first released. I can grab the serial. I'm on the latest firmware.

Not that I meant if it is blanked out then DNS must be up or the system would crash, that would explain why you getting that error code.

I don't know, but I did do manual DNS when I first set it up.

If it is not set up correct and you blanked the serial number it would explain why it crash.
