Guys
My
Switch is still playing up. Is there a way I can refresh and restart
What should I format my sd card ? Fat 32 or exfat
I want to be able to transfer large files
I did when v1 switch first was available to be modded and running from sd card and a jig / rcm loader I have
Any other tips ?
Can you boot into OFW at least? Do you have an unpatched v1 Switch?
exFAT is more prone to the data corruption, while FAT32 isn't as much. Why do you want to transfer large files? What kind of files?
If you're able to boot into OFW without issues and you haven't blanked your prodinfo in the past, you can probably start from scratch by following one of these guides:
NH Switch guide and
Rentry.org Switch guide.
hey guys, i bet this question has been asked a million times here but i hacked my Switch back in 2018 and just updated the CFW a few times after that. There has been a lot of new methods that came out over the years and i saw that its possible to have a clean stock FW to play online and a CFW launchable on the same switch and still be relatively safe. I still got my backup from 2018 before i hacked my switch and checked the burnt fuses that shows 8 burnt (6.2.0).
Does anyone know how to set this up in the safest way possible?
Did you install your CFW to your sysNAND or emuNAND? Which firmware is your OFW on?
By no means I'm expert on resetting the console and starting from scratch, but as far as I know, restoring an older NAND backup should be safe only if you haven't connected to the Internet without blocking the Nintendo servers on the OFW after you've made your backup. If you did connect to the Internet and haven't blocked Nintendo servers, your sysNAND has made some permanent changes while connected to Nintendo's servers that are not present in your original NAND backup. In other words, Nintendo has something more in their logs about your Switch, while you do not, therefore causing a mismatch.
I'd advise you not to restore your NAND backup blindly unless you're 100% sure that you were offline and in airplane mode between the time you've hacked your console and now. If that's the case, restoring a NAND backup should be safe enoguh.
More often than not, you don't need to restore a backup if you've used emuNAND and effectively blocked Nintendo servers.
If you can boot into OFW, connect to the Internet and access eShop and other Nintendo services, your sysNAND should be fine and you can start from scratch on how to setup emuNAND by following one of the guides,
NH Switch guide or
Rentry.org Switch guide.
Once you set up your emuNAND, I'd advise that you set up
90DNS or
DNS MITM at the very least. Prodinfo blanking on emuNAND probably won't do much since it's unknown whether that info is cached somewhere else on the system.
DBI, for example, can guess your serial number through "creative coding" as they call it. You can see whether it's true or not by going into system info option once in DBI.
