So... I updated my switch to FW 7.0.1 not realizing that sigpatches were not out for atmosphere 0.8.4. Seeing the update came out like a few days ago instead of waiting.... the idiot I am I downgraded back to FW 6.2.0. So now my switch will only boot in RMC. It will not load up like normal with the jig off with no CFW. So, I decide to try to fix the boot mess by running a fix on the rawnand dump file i had not knowing it had the FW (5.1.0) included and this has just snowballed it to a mess. When trying to load CFW with hekate i get pkg2 decryption failed! failed to launch firmware... Same thing for stock. I've spent most of my weekend surfing the net trying to figure this out and get my switch working to no avail. Just tired and defeated at this point... Any help to fix this or advice on a program to try would be great if not... just have to wait till someone comes up with a fix down the road.

restore your old backup,,, rawnand.bin and boot 0/1
only boot with hekate .... to boot stock.. Hekate must be used to bypass fuse check

Or...

use a copy of your most recent backup,
and following parts of this guide >Click here
To rebuild your nand backup and update it to
the system version you need...

in your case
take old backup > use hacdiskmount and the guide above to rebuild your backup to 7.0.1

That link was one of the first thing i found and have spent the lion share of trying to fix with but, when i get to step 7 is where it all falls apart. I get these errors and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. :sad: Value numbers were removed to protect my keys.


Also restored Boot0/1 with rawnand.bin and did the boot to stock... no change. hekate is all I've ever used. I just updated to hekate 4.8 just to see if that would help... no difference sadly

Not sure what keys are needed to decrypt but the issue or errors there mean that it doesn't know what to do with those keys , or they are not correct,

You have to find the correct key list...

seen as the key list is available online by typing in google
latest switch keys.txt

i sent you the link here >snip

or
make a copy of your keys file ,

and remove the entries in that file relating to the warnings

The keys I was trying to use with this are the ones that I dumped from my switch using Kezplez. Seems looking at the one you have linked and the ones i'm trying to use that they are WAY different. Let me give the file a go and see what happens.

Next time, do not link copyrighted keys. Or at least if you want to, don't do them on this site.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjCivnt5t50
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
