How to install Atmosphere CFW 1.7.0 Nintendo Switch Firmware 18.0.0 Custom Firmware & Homebrew Menu

[@MattDarez]

Spot on mate. I was on firmware 10. Not really touched my switch in a long time. Updated to 18 and got everything up and running again. Thanks man!

[@RogerLoUSPSA]

Did you had to delete all of your other files? (Including games?)

[@Mikkallica]

Works great man! I was on FW 13 something I think. Did a factory reset on my Switch today and installed OFW 18.1.0 and installed latest Atmosphere with this guide. Tested 10 different games now and it works like a charm! :D

[@RawPower867]

Thank you. I was worried that I would have to do surgery on my Switch to get this thing going. I'll try modding it tomorrow.

[@roasty80]

just done mine following his method.worked perfect

[@JerryHruby-qm7yc]

this helped me so much, i accidently updated my switch and couldnt get the CFW working, and this saved me. thank you!!

[@Hamsterbuds]

I used too have a yellow screen when booting but I think this will fix it! Thanks

[@ColiNoob-x5c]

dang that was fast, cant wait for the oled/switch vid.

[@Nevercholt]

[@nitentime]

Why are you not showing what you're talking about starting at 7:56? You are talking about what to do with Tegra RCM, but when you say "hit OK," there's nothing on the screen showing what you're actually doing, and I can't seem to follow along. When I open TegraRCM GUI at this point, I'm not seeing anything that I can hit "OK" to. Thanks for any help.

That is my favorite part of the video. Surprised more people aren't commenting exactly this.

What do I do if my switch died and now is not booting to the jailbreak

[@patrickdevries8794]

I already had CFW on it but wanted a larger SD and start from scratch. Followed the steps (only without the RCM jig cause my switch can boot from a payload), but as soon as i want to boot with EMUMMC I get a black screen. Any tips?

[@noahbehnke]

I have this same issue, except I did an initial setup that worked just fine, but wanted to repartition the SD card since I misunderstood the EMUMMC and FAT partition usage. Even after a complete wipe of the card in my laptop and a fresh download of files I still have a black screen when trying to boot to CFW through EMUMMC. Also, how'd you get your switch to auto-RCM? Joycon mod? Or something different?

[@KaTaToHuK]

hey bud, followed the guide, but when i press to load EMUMMC, nothing just happens, a black screen, what is the possible reason ? Thanks

[@raymondwxw]

anyone able to solve this black screen issue yet?

[@noahbehnke]

Hoping someone can help with a black screen at CFW boot issue. This worked flawlessly the first time, but I realized I didn't need a 32GB emuMMC partition. I wiped the card back to a 128GB FAT partition on my laptop and ran through the entire setup all over again selecting a 16GB partition for emuMMC. All steps went great up until I tried to actually boot into CFW. No Atmosphere logo, no Nintendo logo, just a black screen. I tried turning on logs from the launch screen, but even after multiple attempts the log folder on the SD card is empty. I made sure to remove my RCM jig before booting. I've also tried creating an SD File emuMMC and selecting that from the emuMMC management screen, but still just a blank black screen when trying to boot into CFW. All the files used were downloaded from this video's HATS CFW package link, and they were re-downloaded when I decided to wipe my SD card and start over. My Switch is an OG Gen 1 with SN starting XAW10001, so it's well inside the block of unpatched systems. Also, booting into the normal Switch firmware works just fine and downloaded and online games work without any issue.

[@MysteSSBU]

did you ever find a solution?

[@jtheurbannerd6233]

I followed all the steps precisely. When I went to launch CFW EMUMMC, the screen goes black and nothing happens. Then it just boots up to the stock FW

[@noahbehnke]

Mine just stays on the black screen. I had it working at one point, but then restarted to partition my SD card different. Even with a fresh SD card wipe in my laptop and a fresh download of the HATS package my Switch boots to the black screen when selecting emummc. If I reset the system and boot to regular Switch os it works just fine.

[@noahbehnke]

Saw another comment on this video from @joeyzwaan2771 saying firmware 18.0.1 isn't compatible right now with CFW. My system did the auto update from 18.0 to 18.0.1 while I was resetting my SD card 😢

[@End_Times_Dreams]

I keep getting an error when I launch CFW saying unknown pkg1 version hos version not supported or Emmuc corrupt

[@dphiljoe4201]

so...i think i messed up. first time modding a v2 switch. everything's all good till it comes to launching the EMUMMC...pretty much any of the options. and my conclusion is i failed to update the switch (ran a factory reset) before installing the mod chip. After launching the EMUMMC. the hakate loading menu pops up and then black screen. doesn't get to the atmosphere logo. same thing with another tutorial I used. my question would be, can not updating the switch cause a black screen(seems likely) how to fix the black screen without removing the physically installed mod chip?

[@user-qv5do7vz5l]

Is there any benefit of updating on a modded system If I’m not gonna use it for online games

[@zviu153]

received error "Failed to prepare update. Result 0x00004c02" please help me i can't update my system

[@ilive4d80s6]

My dude. I have another question. I clicked on your link for that 1.7.0.1 and it said 1.7.0.2. Is that a update and will it work with thev1800?

[@ameerudeenbudruddin6596]

Thanks for the video. However how do I get it out of applet mode if I dont own a game cart?

[@Kriro85]

9:06 is the android function to create a partition to install android and use the switch as a tablet?

[@Psyphuck]

Yeah it is, you can google switchroot for guides, I would stay with A10 if you have a V1 switch, A14 just released but it's still kind of buggy since it's so early life.

[@Thomas-tx6dh]

When I start Atmosphere, the screen goes black and stays that way. Even if you use hekate, it will still work. 　How can I fix it? Atmosphère ver1.7.1 switch ver18.0.0 Can anyone help me?

[@lmx8299]

hi, i updated to 1.7.0 but why my current system version is showing AMS_sig 1.7.0 ?

[@mattone.0743]

[@niranjanujire1613]

Thanks for the Video. Is there any benefit of updating to 1.7.0 or it wouldn't make much difference. I have a 1TB MicroSD card loaded with data for my lite switch, is there any way to upgrade without formatting the card?

hakete unknown pk91 version hos version not supported on first atmosphere boot. why ? ive run OFW. is it because i didnt factory reset first ?

[@RobCardIV]

i googled it. suggestions include, deleting atmosphere and replacing it with the latest edition. i tried even though i knew mine was already the latest edition.

[@ilive4d80s6]

Does changing the battery on the switch do anything to the firmware? My battery is dead and it won't hold a charge anymeow.

Nope, you can replace it without issues

Sweet payload injector you have there. I was checking the Amazon link and I can't seem to find that one anywhere. Do you have a link to it that is updated by chance? If not, what would you recommend? I already have the jig, so i'm just looking to upgrade at some point.

[@Psyphuck]

I've had nothing but success with Rekado, if you have your phone on you most of the time you can inject from there.

[@roasty80]

brilliant guide.worked flawless. shame you have to inject every restart but on the other hand if anything goes wrong it boots to standard operating system. i do have one question. is it safe to go the official e shop with custom firware without injecting payload?

[@frankcastlefan]

Basically, if you followed the guide and want to go on the eShop, remove the SD card. This will revert the CFW to just Official Firmware, and your Switch doesn't know better. Heed the warnings you see online about never being online in CFW And I wouldn't bother putting a wifi network in ever in CFW Just my advice, not to be taken as gospel. you don't want to get banned.

@@joeyzwaan2771 Rough. I had it all working and decided to restart so I could partition the SD card with more FAT storage for software files. During that my Switch auto-updated from 18.0 to 18.0.1. I didn't realize this until I just read your comment. Hopefully since 18.0.1 has been out for about 2 months it's close to being fixed.

i had the same problem but i found this online and it worked. Get your switch in RCM mode. Inject Hekate payload Tap on "Tools" on top of the hekate screen. Tap on "Archive Bit - AutoRCM" on the right bottom. Tap on "Unset archive bit" button. This might take a while, be patient.'t hope it works for u too

Supposedly file emunand is more prone to be damaged. A long time ago, file emunand was slower. But theses days, both methods have the same speeds.
