Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[thepussyvanished]

Now that I think about it, I really kinda just wanna restart my switch from scratch. Any way to do that? It has the Picofly Mod chip installed. I just wanna manually download everything myself starting from scratch though using the Rentry guide. I'd rather get to know everything firsthand so that way when any problems come up, I know fully what Im doing.

Are you using exFAT or FAT32 as a file system on your SD card?

I am using fat32. I inserted another sd card from another switch that has atmosphere just to see what would happen, and it didn't reboot at all. I couldn't use the card because it was linked to another switch, but when I tried to connect to the internet it rebooted with the error message.

The CFW and everything related is on the SD card. If you don't care about installed games, you could just reformat it (FAT32) and start from scratch following the guide. I would backup my game saves with JKSV or DBI first, though. Don't skip the important first step of the NAND backup. Keep it in a safe place on your computer.

Rentry.org Switch guide is pretty straightforward, but doesn't really go too much into details.
NH Switch guide, however, is pretty detailed but doesn't mention updating sigpatches anywhere, which is required for game backups to work.

Just re-read what I've posted here and you should be good. (I've updated the post with the links to make it a bit easier for you.)

They should work after update, but there's always a chance that one or two will stop working. Check here if you run into problems.

As @Dust2dust said, better stick to doing it manually unless you know what you're doing. It'll be much easier for you to troubleshoot issues in the future should I run into one.

Just to notify you that I managed to update both CFW and FW with your instructions. It took a while because didn't have time to do it but it was actually really straightforward just like you said.

Thanks again.

Im on firmware version 18.0.0 and want to update to 18.0.1 to play Paper Mario when released. Is there anything I need to be aware of when updating as there always seems to be some issue with config

As far as I'm aware of, nope. If you're using sigpatches, make sure to update them. Otherwise, if you're using sys-patch, you should be good to go.

Is the latest firmware even out? haha

There are two sources that I grab firmware files from and one of them has the 18.0.1 files.

Hey hey people.
I have a Switch v2.
Atmosphere 1.7.0|E
Firmware: 16.0.1
Mariko revision
Kefir: 734


So I had I've had Kefir 728 and decided to update it to 734. Which I did but after mandatory reset, Wi-fi stopped working for me. It can connect to a Network device, but not to the internet.
Not my router or my phone acting like an access point.
Help, pls.

You can try vanilla atmosphere see if the problem is with kefir.

I'd be pretty surprised if Paper Mario needed 18.0.1. I think you're good to go with 18.0.0. When you get the game, install it and see for yourself.

 

[Hayato213]

How?

Just delete kefir file on your SD.

Check your hekate_ipl

 

[kyrusdemnati]

Check your hekate_ipl

Is that on the sd card?

Is there a config file I can download

 

[LouCifer]

hey guys, i bet this question has been asked a million times here but i hacked my Switch back in 2018 and just updated the CFW a few times after that. There has been a lot of new methods that came out over the years and i saw that its possible to have a clean stock FW to play online and a CFW launchable on the same switch and still be relatively safe. I still got my backup from 2018 before i hacked my switch and checked the burnt fuses that shows 8 burnt (6.2.0).

Does anyone know how to set this up in the safest way possible?

 

[Hayato213]

Is there a config file I can download

It is in the bootloader folder,

[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=0
verification=1
backlight=100
autohosoff=2
autonogc=0
updater2p=1


{--- Custom Firmware ---}

Hello everyone,
Recently have installed mod chip RP2040 in my switch lite but before I updated my OFW to 18.0.1
Now I'm trying to launch emummc but not successfully - unknown pkg1 version. HOS version not supported or emummc corrupt. Don't know what to do, I already tried to update Hekate and Atmosphere but I have latest versions.
Actions taken:
HATS pack installed
SD partition
emummc created
If anyone can help I would be very grateful!

that error is 100% you do NOT have the latest of all files. Stop using packs, and learn all of the components and how to set them up properly. Get Atmosphere 1.7.0 from GitHub, and extract the entire .zip file to your card. Place fusee.bin in /bootloader/payloads. Download the latest Hekate release from Github and do the same. Then put the hekate.bin on the root of your card, and rename it to payload.bin (after deleting your current payload.bin).

You didn't do anything else, like delete files or format your card, right? I hope you didn't delete your hekate_ipl.ini, or emummc.ini...

If you still have issues, try selecting fusee as a payload, and see if that loads your emummc or not.

Does anyone have the current Tits Pro host address? It looks like it got moved around again at some point recently and I'd like to get back in there
