Hacking SX Lite and 11.0.1

[Dave_Chad]

Hi i have my friends Switch here and it won't boot past the SX Splash screen. I'm 99% sure after reeading up that he updated it to 11.0.1, has no nand backup (idiottt) and not running emunand.

Is Atmosphere able to boot to run daybreak and downgrade it to 11.0? Or is this not possible for now on a Lite?

I don't want to mess too much as never had a hard modded switch in my hands before today.

Supposedly you can boot Atmosphere using Spacecraft-NX on Mariko based boards, haven't tried it myself but it should work... now about running Daybreak, not sure if that will fly well on a mariko based/lite switch.

You don't need Spacecraft-NX. Just put SXGEAR files on the microSD and rename hekate do payload.bin.
Done.
I'm using it like this.

OK thanks guys will test... Is there not a way to downgrade the Switch firmware? I just assumed daybreak would work...

Downgrading is possible but not easy for Mariko Switch. Since your Lite is on 11.0.1 use atmosphere 0.17

You need
- sx gear boot.dat (replace boot.dat on Lite)
- fusee_primary.bin on root of SD card renamed to payload.bin
- license.dat
- atmosphere 0.17 files on SD card
- atmosphere 0.17 and fw 11.0.1 sigpatches if you need them

That's it.

Cheers for the reply! It's tried to boot but now stuck on the Nintendo Switch logo after the atmosphere splash. It was slow to boot to this point too so i'm still waiting for it just in case...

EDIT: Solved! Just needed to disable prodinfo blanking in exosphere.ini, now downgraded to 11.0.0 and wokring on SX OS again.
