I am afraid of doing something wrong and i didn´t follow switch scene recently.
So i am overwhelmed with all the different information, guides, prerequisites, things to be carefull of, bricking risks, auto rcm risks, nand backups, file formats of backups etc etc etc
So i would like to kindly ask for putting me in the right direction please, not every single step of a guide, but maybe a small sumarry with an order what to do first and so on.
I will happily search for the information within the board, but the start is very complicated for me since too much information available.
My switch is on 3.02 unfortunately, was never connected to the internet and i plan on formatting my 64gb micro sd as exfat.
My goal is obviously to have a solution "like" xecuter functions which is easy to use and mostly install free of risks.
I will receive an original xecuter rcm jig the following days and want to give this a shot this weekend.
so i really don´t know if i should update and to which firmware and how (game card or internet) ?
Preferably without burning efuses if possible ? and i also read something about game card slot update should be prevented ? how do i achieve all this ?
and what about the exfat update ? which guide is preferable to use and somewhat safe to follow without or with minimum risk ?
do i really need to preserve efuses and game card slot firmware for being future proof ? or does it not matter at all for my goals ?
what about games requiring newer firmwares ?
or should i just wait until atmosphere is available with emunand ?
and after i have or have not updated, what do i have to do then ? there is raj, rei etc etc... which is the best, easiest to use and has least brick risk when following correctly ?
from what i have already read i would like to prefer not having autorcm, because i know myself and my battery will drain fully and i think this ist not good.
i want to shut my switch off fully and do mod it so it does not drain battery when switched off.
which cable is preferred ? is it really a must to have an usb 3 a to c cable which has the 56k ohm resistor inside ?
i would prefer a usb c female to usb c male cable which has that resistor, but it seems nearly impossible to find such a cable.
my phone has usb c and until maybe reswitched brings their dongle i want to use my phone for sending payloads.
also this would give me the possibility to attach the switch to the dock while being outside of the dock.
and also which backup file format is the best to use ? i guess i have to consider this too when choosing what to do ? i mean to choose which "cfw"
and in all of this, i want to stay as future proof as possible
so you see, i feel really lost in between all these things to pay attention too and really don´t know where to start and need a guideline which steps i need to do in which order.
Thanks for reading and help in advance.
