Question Why use Daybreak to update firmware?

This is false. AutoRCM is not deleted when using official updater.

For example if your initial firmware is low enough, you can go back to software exploits if RCM method is tiring for you.

 

'cause we're up during the day? maybe?

 

I do the same with every update, use Nintendy standard update thru OFW, settings, update..i turn off auto rcm .remove sd card , reboot to ofw then update. I'm already banned and not worried bout burning fuses on this switch anyways.

 

First, ChoiDujourNX should never be used, since it's not as safe as Daybreak.

That being said, if you don't care about being banned or you're already banned, it doesn't really matter if you use Daybreak or update through the system settings. The only other benefit to using Daybreak over the official methods is to preserve AutoRCM and/or your fuse count.

Updating through official means will remove AutoRCM. If you boot your system normally after updating normally (without reinstalling AutoRCM first), you will also alter your fuse count.

 

If my memory doesn't deceive me, I remember updating officially with autorcm enabled and autorcm was still there after updating.

Well, can't check anymore as my unpatched unit burned out.

 

Updating through official means will not preserve AutoRCM. If AutoRCM was preserved for you, that was an anomaly, and you shouldn't trust an official update to preserve AutoRCM.

 

Don't worry. I have now modchipped Switch.

 

If it doesn't preserve autoRCM, you can re-enable it thru hekate menu, atleast that worked for me

 

Yes, that's what you'll have to do if you update through official means. However, if the goal is to preserve your fuse count, booting into RCM/Hekate before the system boots into Horizon and burns your fuses is a gamble.

 

What's unsafe about Choi? This is my first time hearing this.

 

Pretty much what @linuxares said above. ChoiDujourNX isn't super unsafe or anything, but it is less safe than Daybreak for the reason given above. The use of ChoiDujourNX on Mariko systems can also cause problems down the road.

Using Daybreak instead of ChoiDujourNX is highly recommended. For SX OS users who can't use Daybreak, booting into Atmosphere and using Daybreak is highly recommended.

 

Atmosphere protect the autorcm during the official update, if you update from OFW or other CFW then yes the autorcm is deleted.

 

That's right. Thanks for reminding me.

 

So you can update offline.
I use it to update my Emunand that's otherwise permanently offline or masked out from Nintendo servers.

 

Also next time, post in the proper section. Your thread had nothing to do with CFW, Exploits, or Soft Mods.

 

I am stuck with an 1.0.0 Switch unable to boot the cracked SXOS neither via SysNAND nor EMUNAND. So I tempted to update the SYSNAND to 11.0.0 while preserving the fuses to try the cracked SXOS. How can I go about it?
