Let me start with some definitions:quick question here, what are the advantages and disadvantages of autorcm in reinx?
That is correct. The backup is just that; a backup. Hecate does not modify your NAND in any way unless you're restoring a previous backup.I have a Switch with 6.2.0. I'm using hekate to perform a NAND backup. I've never done anything homebrew with my Switch before. This NAND backup is still considered valid / "good" even though hekate has not been officially updated to support 6.2.0 and TSEC stuff, right?
Alright, a little hard to understand exactly what your questions were (and it's okay, even though I'm a native speaker of English, it's still hard to make out sometimes!), but here goes!Current state : Switch 6.0.0 with ReinX 2.3
I decided to backup my switch to an original state. I preorderd smash bros, and i like to play with it in online.
Is there any method to transfer my CFW switch save files to my backed up original switch? I have so many hours in zelda and mario and etw (if i can i'll buy the game) .
If yes , it will cause ban? Is there any chance ,the save file is corrupted and Nintendo noticed thats an CFW system's save file.
Sorry about my english.
Thanks for your answer and your help!
Another question. I ordered SX PRO kit. If i was not wrong, I can play online with OFW ( so i can buy smash bros or i can use my nintendo account) , and if i choose the CFW boot, i can use my switch as a flashed one. Am i correct?
So if I use my switch strictly in docked mode there is no disadvanteges whatsoever no?
Atmosphere currently supports firmware versions up to 6.1.0, with plans already in the works for 6.2.0. You are absolutely able to install and use it. As for a guide, the one posted here is a great place to get up and going. Just know that the menu for Hecate is much better than the one seen in the screenshots The links will let you get the latest versions of both SDFiles and the Hecate payload. When you do get to Hecate, though, make sure to create a backup before you do ANYTHING, then hit "Launch...", "Payloads", then "fusee-primary.bin". That will get you Atmosphere, which is compatible with your firmware version!Hi. I bought a Nintendo Switch a year ago, it was the Mario Odyssey Bundle. I remember it was below that 3xx firmware for hacking, I haven't really used that console much though i bought lots of games and accessories. Now on some gamingsite I read about not updating to 6.2.0 FW some because of Homebrew and that has made me interested in the console again.
Currently my Nintendo Switch automatically updated itself to 6.0.0 OFW.
My Question: Is it possible to install CFW/Homebrew on this Firmware Version?
This thread only lists FW 5.0.0 and below: https://gbatemp.net/threads/firmware-status.495078/
Sorry, I read many threads, but it is still not clear, there is much outdated info and I'm absolutely confused about all those insider buzzwords regarding hacking and I don't know where to start. I found this website but seems outdated, too: https://switch.hacks.guide/get-started
If you could link me to some wiki or userful friendly guide that explains all those hacking terms, I would appreciate it alot.
Please help me
Anytimethanks for the answers!
You're overcomplicating it! You can backup your NAND, as Hecate will support exFAT. In order to modify your NAND anyways, you'll need to make a backup, modify the backup, then upload the backup. You can just save it (as well as making a full backup through Hecate) then before modifying it.I finally decided to hack my Switch using this guide: guide.sdsetup.com
I'm on 4.1.0 and so far everything worked fine (entering RCM, injecting the test payload).
The only thing giving me a headache right now is my mSD card (200 GB)... I realized that the Switch doesn't support exFAT without installing a driver (which means going online and updating my system).
So I simply formatted it into FAT32 hoping that the Switch would natively support it. Well, I guess it doesn't since it still asks for an update.
I know there are methods to install the driver offline, BUT wouldn't they require me to alter my NAND before even having the chance to back up a clean version?
Or... am I overthinking things? Is it just the official Switch OS that doesn't support exFAT while Homebrew will work just fine? I'm just looking for a way to back up my full NAND before altering my console in any way.
Well, not 100% sure on this, but I do know that Atmosphere 0.7.2 was recommended to someone else for firmware versions below 4.0.0. You could try that!Hi,
little question.
i try to install via ns atmosphere dongle the necessary things i needed to have CFW working.
Now i want to follow this guide on them site but because im still on 2.30 this link there don't work.
Any ideas how to let it work or upgrade?
I guess i need that the cfw works on 2.30 before to upgarde or am i wrong?
Thanks!!!!
There are many guides in the "Tutorials" section of GBATemp for the Switch, but let me help give you a basic rundown of what you need to do.Hi guys, first of all im new to switch and very new to this place.. Could do with some help with a couple of things.. First of all i purchased a brand new switch today which is capable of of runing CFW its currently on 4.1.0 i also have NS-Atmosphere and have made a boot0/1 backup as well as full nand backup.. Now this console has never been connected to the internet at all. How do i minimise the ban risk and also update the console to 6.1.0? It also asks me to update to use my SD Card. Are there any ways around this? any help would really be appreciated. Last of all what do people recommend as a custom firmware?
Again any help would be massively appreciated.

You've done a full NAND backup. You're already smarter than the average person just for that! Now, you won't be able to update officially because 6.2.0 is out right now. You'll need to find a game that has 6.1.0 on it in order to specifically update to that version.
I'm assuming you're on 4.1.0 because that's what the Switch came with. Good. However, this means that you'll need to connect your Switch to your computer and use "memloader" to connect your system partition as a USB Drive. Then, you can make a full backup of the system, modify it to include exFAT support, then reupload the backup to your Switch. That will allow you to run the Switch with your SD Card. Either that, or you can reformat your SD Card as FAT32.
Atmosphere is what I very highly recommend. It's getting better every week, and it's being updated to support 6.2.0 as we speak!
