Great guide, but I have a question regarding a banned v1 Switch. What steps would be unnecessary if the system is already banned? Is there any point in setting up the emuMMC partition at that point?

[@sthetixofficial]

setting up the emummc is pointless if your console is banned.

[@sudanesepapi]

When i try to lanch EMUMMC it says failed to match warmboot with fuses ! If you continue, sleep won’t work ! And I get the same message also when booting SYSMMC ( stock )

[@sthetixofficial]

You need to ignore the message by pressing the power button and update your console later using Daybreak.

One question, does this method and files work for the recent v18?

Does the SD Card have to be Fat32 before doing this tutorial? I think mine was exFat but it kinds shows Fat32 now. Does Hekate do this automatically? Thanks

No, it automatically converts the sd card to fat32 after you setup the emummc

My Switch OLED is on the latest OFW as I've been using it to play store bought games. Thank you for any advice.

[@radialblur]

@@sthetixofficial thanks for the reply, yeah fully aware how hard it is, I've done a few already 😊 That's not what I meant though, what I'm talking about is upgrading the modchip firmware before Installation as my chip is at least 6 months old just wondering what the best, most stable firmware version is for the chip and if the upgrade method has changed over time etc?

[@sthetixofficial]

you can disassemble the console, get the USB cable and install the latest hwfly-nx bootloader and firmware to the chip.

[@miminguyen5879]

it's been yrs since i messed with this. I'm using the rmcloader to get onto my friend's switch, but when I use the loader it goes straight to the main switch screen (I know it works base on seeing the files in album) instead of the screen that has Launch, More Configs, Payload, emuMMC (hekate screen?). With the new files did it auto make a CFW? How can i get to the Hekate screen? Need to get there to make his emuMMC.

[@sthetixofficial]

you better remove the atmosphere, bootloader, config folder, and extract my pack, sthetix.info/hats-releases you can set the autoboot later inside hekate later.

I use the license.dat/boot.dat and boot.ini from SXOS and not the one you have in your hats and I get a black screen when I boot with the jig and dongle inserted and holding Volume UP and ON button. I also tried with your boot.dat and all your files from your HATS pack but I really can not boot into Hekate. HOW? I tried Tegra RCM but I get no RCM device. When my Switch is connected to PC it will boot into OFW. I also do not get APX under my computer when I connect the switch. Like I said I used to use SXOS and Atmos but I have no idea what to do now.

[@sthetixofficial]

you need to install the APX driver first via the tegrarcmgui settings, and try to get to the RCM mode again.l

why cant we use sd file instead of sd partition? i read it makes it easier to upgrade sd card in future.

[@sthetixofficial]

it tends to corrupt.

[@David-dc2be]

do we delete the prod.key file from the sd card after moving? or can we keep it there

[@sthetixofficial]

you can keep it there.

[@ChuckRedmond]

Can I follow this for a v1 unpatched by pushing the hekate payload from pc (instead of payload.bin on SD like a chipped switch) and then just following the rest of the guide?

[@sthetixofficial]

you can do the same guide on your console.

Sthetix please help ! I have a switch oled and a friend mod chiped it 2 months ago. I was not using it for about a week and the battery is decharged. Now I am trying to charge the switch via official charger and nothing happens ! I pushed the power button for 15 sec , realease it , and then pushed it once , the modchip goes flashing purple and after a while red , but screen is black. Can you please tell me what is goin on ? Thanx in advance.

[@sthetixofficial]

hi, you can try resetting the chip. if it boots to the OFW it means the console is OK, but if it doesnt, then your friend should reinspect the emmc chip

​​​@sthetixofficial I think nobody asked this question that I'm gonna ask (I'm a noob on this, please bear with me). I have a switch lite and I soldered the cpu part flex cable on the board BUT I didn't connect it yet on the chip of hwfly. Now, I tried turning on the switch (just testing it if it will boot ON) then it turns on fine. Then I proceeded soldering the upper part left side of flex cable (the ABC gnd points), and after soldering I turned it in again then it boots ON. Lastly I soldered the upper right flex cable (the one that has + symbol) then for the last time I tried turning it on but it doesn't able to boot up anymore. After trying to turn on multiple times, I saw once a purple screen (not sure if purple or violet but It's light purple). Is my switch lite DEAD already? (I didn't connected the main chip hwfly on the flex cables yet)
