How to Update Modded Switch (SysMMC/EmuMMC/CFW/Sig)

[@empanadillapr]

After almost 7 hours struggling to install new games, this update instructions were on point. Thanks man! (Installed 19.0.0 on Switch Oled)

[@FunkyScott48]

I tried making this video as a future proof option for updating so I'm glad you were able to use it for newer updates!! :)

[@Thewinner312]

Damn, 7 hours? At that point just buy the games, bro. Imagine how many games you could buy if you just did 7 hours of paid work instead.

[@empanadillapr]

Right! Or spending time with my family!

[@spydar05]

@@Thewinner312 Anywhere from 1-2 games. This is infinite games. Saving tons of $ & time in the future. Opportunity cost is an important concept.

Thank you man! I was having a hard time updating, but your guide got me through!

[@Brentc0328]

You're the man completely fixed my EmuMMC errors with this guide.

[@zeroxx131]

Worked perfectly. Thanks man!

[@pawlie3419]

what firmware version did you update to? i just tried on 19.0.1 and i get errors because i believe sigpatches say they support to 19.0.0 and i get 'nosigchk' error on booting atmosphere? thanks

[@zeroxx131]

@@pawlie3419 I upgraded to 18.0.1 from 17. I had heard 19 wasn't fully there yet. Atmosphere is in beta for example. With out updating to 18, some of the newer games won't work which is why I did it.

[@alijonesET]

I do have to say that I was sceptical because last time I tried to update I ended up having to format my SD Card. following your steps (and I use EMUMMC) worked brilliantly. Very nicely done!

[@KarlAllen-b4o]

Just booted my switch from 2019, on version 9.1.0 😅 will give this a go, thanks

[@EmmysProductions]

I dont see a sys mmc when I go into Launch on the hekate screen. Is there a way I can enable that?

thank you, funkyscott! u goated fr fr

[@cabron1984]

thank you for the instructions, everything came out perfect

[@derekswitzer9624]

what is the difference in the 2 sys firmware in your launch options? (one says stock, and one says cfw sys...) I think I only have sysmmc and emmc.... Based on your comments in the video, using the sysmmc "as normal"/not shady and connecting 'tendo online etc is still safe?

[@kingeddiex2]

CAN ANYBODY PL HELP IT KEEPS FREEZING OR LAGGIN AND I CANT EVEN LAUCH ANYTHING

[@derekswitzer9624]

also, if you only have 1 sd card, can the sd card storage be shared between sysmmc and emummc "safely"? or would swapping sd cards depending on which side you are loading be the safest option?

[@leonmerino7454]

when updating why you go into sysnand cfw and not the stock one?

[@skelleytor]

from Atmosphere 16.0.0 to 18.1.0 and now it crashes not long after I boot into imito CFW , unless I have it in Airplane Mode…. i use 90dns ,I checked it before I updated and it wasn’t blocking nintendo servers… I’m perplexed! Any Ideas? error 2123-0011 (0x167b)

[@glimm13]

same here, i had to disconnect to the wifi...

[@nemanjamiloicic9615]

I don't see why you need to update sysmmc using system update can't you just do it the same way by using daybreak same as emummc

[@nemanjamiloicic9615]

Yes you can i just did it. I first updated sysmmc using daybreak and i did the same with emummc. I wanted to avoid internet connection so i did it this way.

[@golgeninjasi1778]

i accidentally updated my ninten doswitch to 1.19 or something on stock firmware and it also updated emummc for some reason does this fix that?

[@ORELKY]

Hey, i need help with connecting my switch to the pc!! Every time i connect it, the pc doesn't recognise the device. I have tried using a different cable, computer, and ports and can only transfer files that are over 4gb via wifi, which is super slow. Much appreciated 😢😢😢

[@Slolidus]

"A server communication error has occurred" how do i fix this? Won't let me update atmosphere

[@Jace_-bv7ij]

Hey so what I did was skip the sys cfw update since i don’t use it and update the emu mmc cfw instead and it works fine

[@daze8410]

You can update with daybreak instead

[@johnzapata2837]

Noob question here: how do we know that when we click update firmware, it's not just going to download the latest HOS (19.0.1 now)?

[@danielq4411]

Can I delete the folder that you named "Firmware 18.1.0" (8:26) from the SD card after I'm done with the firmware update?

[@sephiyos9619]

Yes you don't need it anymore once you've done upgrading your emunand

[@EmmysProductions]

I only have Atmosphere - CFW and Stock SysNand in the launch options. Do I have to do a complete new install of hekate? I was able to update my Hekate but I dont see anything like what you see in the launch options.

[@kingeddiex2]

im trying to update the system so that i can transfer my game data to my new unmodded switch

[@ПлачущийТимур]

Work on Nintendo switch oled chip/ emunand ?? I wonna play online on semi stock , but need update firmware, can’t open Nintendo shop

[@crimsonsea9985]

When dragging the files into the root of the SD card and clicking replace, does that only put in the new files you need into your folder on your SD card? Or does it replace the entire folder? For example, when you updated your sigpatches, you dragged the atmosphere folder to the root of your SD card. And you did the same thing with mission control. Did dragging and replacing only effect the files associated with sigpatches and mission control in that folder?

[@FunkyScott48]

it only replacing the files are are the same name. so it wont delete anything or ruin any folders

[@crimsonsea9985]

@FunkyScott48 I see, thanks!

[@hartman.4744]

Hey mate. I followed your video to the letter I followed your vid very closely BUT I skipped the part where you went into the sysMMC and did updates there, because I NEVER use sysMMC. So did I make a critical error by not doing that step before doing the emuMMC section? Currently I try launching into emuMMC, and I get an error "check that a .ini file exists in bootloader/ini/". There is nothing in that folder currently. Where do I find that li'l guy? Did I royally screw up by not doing the sysMMC first? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hey when I try to system up date it tells me “a server communication error has accurred”. But I was able to update my atmosphere and hekate

[@patrykk7948]

Hey, did you ever manage to find a fix for this? I'm having the same problem. Edit: Managed to figure out how to fix mine, so I'll leave this here in case anyone else has this problem. I had to open up the switch SD card, go into atmosphere/hosts/ and rename a file called 'default.txt' to 'emummc.txt' instead.

[@clabbin]

Is this going to work for firmware 18.1.0-1.0??

[@camzxyy]

I updated my firmware on the emummc to 18.1.0 from 17.0.1 yesterday and now it won't boot into either the emu mmc nor the sys mmc. Would you know any fixes because I've been looking for fixes for hours and none worked.

[@MrCapz]

Did you fix it?

[@fefe070302]

you got the wrong fusee.bin I think

[@calv83]

If you are getting this fatal error when loading into the custom firmware or sys firmware, have a look at the error ID - for me it's the mission control folder that was copied into the Atmosphere/content folder - as soon as I removed that, everything loaded.

[@mohammedhamwi6677]

Hi I have a problem I don't know what I did with my switch I think I deleted some files by the accident but my switch now it not turning on I can open the hetake menu and when I go to lunch I can find only one option and when I try to lunch it nothing happens can you help?

Okay, here's what hapeneed, I have done everything, what u did, and I managed to update to version 19.0.0... but now every time my switch go to sleep mode, it instanly turning off (like the system just restarts the whole console) for some reason plus every time when I try to turn it on the one thing always shows up "failed to apply nosigchk" (click POWER button to continue), It's really annoying, I hope u help me or at least sugget me something, pls

[@AskhabulYaminAMa]

Fw 19.0.0 is not fully supported by atmosphere yet. You should stay on 18.1.0 until atmosphere release the stable new version.

[@Lapis_Master]

@@AskhabulYaminAMa Actually I was on 17.0.0 version. I didn't know which version should I download so I just chose the latest one and I regret it. Now I have 3 options: Downgrade to 18.1.0 (which is risky), wait till someone release fix patch or try to fix it by myself... damn, also thanks for telling me that, at least now I know why my switch work like that

@dyshamzaquan4748 Well if u ask me, I might try to put sigpatches to my switch again, and If that doesn't work, I will just update to new version 19.0.1 and see if the issue is gone (even tho this version didn't fix the issue with draining battery, I will still try)

I think that's quite common. If your are in syscfw and haven't done anything that may get you banned, you may update, otherwise, you can block Nintendo servers with dns settings or block updates with gold leaf
