How do I update an patched switch emuMMC

[Manaboy]

Ok so I have an iPatched switch on 4.1.0 OFW I want to update the emuMMC to latest but most guides including the one at NH switch say "Updating emuMMC by dumping an updated firmware from your sysMMC"

So they are saying to first update your OFW via Nintendo update than dump that updated firmware using TegraExplorer, then use TegraExplorer to update your emuMMC.

Trouble is, on a iPatched switch updating the ofw beyond 4.1.0 will make it impossible to load any exploit.


Hope someone can help clear this up



Thanks

download firmware to SD, run daybreak on emummc, install & good to go

I'm slightly confused. If the switch is patched, you can't run any payloads from RCM anyway, or did I miss something?

firmware 4.1.0 = software exploit

Thanks! I guess you learn something new everyday

Thanks that did the trick, this method also worked on my normal RCM switch, I don't understand why all these guides tell you to first update your OFW then dump it to the sdcard using TegraExplorer, then use that dumped firmware to update the emuMMC, I mean you can just download the firmware from GitHub or other sources, I don't use these cfw switches to connect to Nintendo at all so I see no point in updating the ofw of an RCMcfw switch. Especially if I want to keep the OFW old so there's no need to downgrade as it's only an emuMMC that's updated and that's on the SD card. Perhaps I'm missing something.

Anyone know what this is?

nh-switch is anti piracy so they won't mention "illegitimate" ways of getting firmware. You can get firmwares from that darth site (google it) and install it with Daybreak (included with Atmosphere)

Turns out 00FF0000636CBFF is an expat toolbox in the content folder, can I delete this? Or is it required either for android or the fact that it's a 512gb micro SD card?
