Hey mate, Firstly awesome video! Everything worked perfectly, up until flashing android. *Fix Below* When attempting to flash LineageOS I was met with "Failed to load boot device or script, Rebooting in 10s" To rectify this issue all I had to do was add the boot.scr file from the LineageOS into the switchroot/android folder on the SD card. I'm not sure if it's because I'm running an OLED, or if it's just an extra step with the latest LineageOS packages, but hopefully this comment helps someone out! :)
I followed everything and get stuck at 9:07,I have a v1 switch with no mod chip Could it be my sd card or could it be cause it’s a v1 switch with no mod chip?
@@sthetixofficial Ok so I did your tutorial up to flashing Android, it loads the Lineage splash then goes black and returns to Hekate, I have a hwfly4.3 on OLED, does this mean my mod chip does not support Android?
I reached out to the mod chip installer and he said of the last 12 mods he installed 6 would allow him to install Android, and 6 would not, the only difference between them all was SD card type, he said its not Mod chip based but rather on SD card speed type, so I purchased the Sandisk Extreme Pro and tried it with no EmuMMC just hekate and android, but still when I get to the Flash Android it goes through great, I get the LineageOS splash image, but it goes black then restarts, mod chip kicks in and delivers its job then I am back to Hekate, any other ideas I can look at? @sthetixofficial
Hi sir, when I check my sd card partition, there is only a green bar. The question is, when I want to repartition my SD card, do I have to create a partition for emuMMC raw?
@alexro_off if i only want android on my sd card, should i leave some space on my sd card, or can i use the entire capacity of my sd card as an android partition,
tnk you very much for this video. i was looking for a tutorial days ago and didnt belive it was possible on oled models. what are the vantage to use android ? dolphin or what ? does triforce also works ?
After successfuly flashing the boot.img, nm-plat.dtimg and recovery.img and clicking continue, I just get the Lineage splash screen for about 5 seconds before booting back to Hekate. Have re-partitioned/formatted SD card but no change.
In the min 5:36 what means Android TV version or Android Tablet? I assume it's required the Android Tablet files... I mean, the name of the zip file that you use in the video is that version... but why you mention these two versions...
Hi. Thank you for your video very usefully. But unfortunately when I restart at the end and click on lineage I have the boot screen of lineage and nothing happens the system is seems to be stuck😢. It's a oled switch patched for info
There's something odd in my case. When i flash android it detects the image and flash it and shows: Android Flasher Success: Kernel image flashed Success: Recovery image flashed Success: DTB image flashed And only show the "OK" button and not the restart recovery to finish android installation. Then i try again to flash and now it shows that image is not found and etcetera and now it shows the button and loads the lineage os blue screen but then it keeps on for a long time. The most i've awaited was like 30 mins and then i got dissesperated and turn the console off
Hi, when I try to boot into Lineage OS it says this and then reboots into hekate: "failed to load boot device or script! reboot in 10s..." any idea why?
On android 11 next to performance mode in settings there’s a setting to set Xbox layout for buttons but missing in android 14 why’s that? Any way to get it back
First, thank you for this amazing comprehensive guide. I am a lost cause on IT and was able to follow it perfectly. I wanted to leave my comment here in case it is helpful for others, due to a problem I had: My issue: Although the Android was perfectly fine, when I tried accessing the emunand the Switch didn't recognize my SD card. To fix it: : 1. Rebooted my system, turning it off and on again. 2. On the Hetake homescreen (v6.2.1), I went to Tools; 3. On the bottom right corner, clicked on the "Arch bit" section. 4. Selected "Fix Archive Bit". 5. Turned off and on again and it worked perfecly. I hope this can help anyone on the same issue.

Paranoid so I gotta ask, this won't disable my autorcm will it? No jig and painstakingly held a stripped wire for my v1 switch to get it cfw'd, and I don't want to go through that again 😅
@@sthetixofficial Didn't have one at the time and didn't feel like waiting to order one. And to answer my own question, no it doesn't touch autorcm. It's safe to install.
What should you set emummc to when re partitioning sd I followed chat got solution and got 31.05 and I can only go up to 29 full after wards it shows 2x4
I had some issues, all related to the lack of free memory. I don't have enough space to keep the emuMMC Backup + All SD Content - Partition Size for Android... It's something to have taken into consideration from the start. Otherwise, everything works perfectly. Well almost. The Gamepass app doesn't recognize RT and LT... ex: Forza 5, when I press RT to accelerate do nothing, on Doom Eternal pressing RT doesn't shoot.
I did the tutorial my mariko dosent reboot on recovery all the time reboot on hekate,appaears the logo of lineage then turn off and no recovery,any solution?
Thank you for the guide! I have one quesiton: since we've created a partition for Android, if I insert the SD card into my computer now I'll only see the remaining partition. Let's say I have a file that is larger than the unused partition but smaller than the Android partition, and I'd like to copy it to the SD card so I can use it on Android. How can I do that on my computer?
@@sthetixofficial not to install, but to copy it to the SD card so I can view/open it on Android. But I just figured out. I just need to run Android on the Switch and connect it to my PC via USB, then choose the file transfer option in the USB settings on Android (instead of taking out the SD card and doing the transfer on my PC).
@@lilgil03 I had the same issue. What I did to make it work is: 1. update firmware to 18.1.0 and 2. the partition for android has to be dynamic. You cannot use the partition that you have had for android 11. It has to be repartitioned.
I was able to flash lineage os 21 using your tutorial. Joycons work on ui but not within a geforce now game. geforce now is reporting that no controller is detected. any thoughts?
Any idea on what might cause apps to stop responding over and over? Like is there a limit on CPU and ram usage by default that changeable or could it be software related?
Setting up Android doesn't work for me. It is just stuck on "preparing your tablet" claiming that I have a slow connection (which isn't true btw). Then I try to set it up offline. It's just stuck on "Just a sec...". Can anyone help?
I had the same problem. I format my Linux partition and just install lineage OS without mindthegaps. It works then but i can't figure out why it's impossible to install the playstore...
EDIT : I think i found the problem the lineage OS latest version is 21.0-20240818 but the latest version of Mindthegapps is not compatible with the last version of Lineage since it's the 20240612
what mod chip are you using? I would like to install android on my oled switch but I have a picofly rp2040 chip and I don't know if it is compatible with android 14
I have a question. When partitioning, I set only 16GB for Android. I installed everything and it works. But now I think that 16GB is not enough, I would like to set at least 90GB, so that there is room for the application. Is there any way to "Add" GB, or do I have to start everything from scratch?
Hmm I followed the guide, did the emummc restore, all worked, loaded back in atmosphere (I checked, it’s loaded the cfw correctly), but when I try to load a game, I get the Could not start software error.

@@sthetixofficial Ok I´ll give it a try anyway. I did cut the Vbus, D+ and D- wires by the way and everything works just fine. Thanks for your replies. I truly appreciate your work. Your are the game console modding KING on the internet imo. Keep up the good work bro !
i installed it and everything is good but when i boot into my cfw my theme isnt there and i get a popup that says cannot read microsd and homebrew apps arent there. any idea how to fix this? i backed up everything correctly. could it be that when i moved my files it asked me that some filed have the same name so i pressed replace destination?

@@sthetixofficial what i mean is not to remove hekate partition.... but no games at all... have one card for games and on card only for android...so if i dont have any games at all inside new card what steps do i have to avoid or add to install ANDROID?
if you have two cards, then you dont need to worry about the switch side, you can just install hekate, no need to backup the emummc, just partition it and install android. that's it.
bisa untuk lite. perlu diingat SAVE data ada di nand chip, bukan di sd card. kalo game, bisa di nand bisa di sd card. jadi separah2nya, gamenya pada hilang, bukan save data nya. Kecuali agan ada emummc maka iya, harus ikuti prosedur backup nya agar data save sama game tidak hilang.
@@sthetixofficial thanks kak, saya ikuti cara diatas entah kenapa ga works. Tapi saya akalin pake metode back up dari kakak dan di mix dengan tutorial android lain jadi works. Android bisa, data2 tidak hilang. Thanks ya kak.

What's the difference between the android tv versión and the tablet version?

wait, how to change it to android tv? i just received my modded one with the tablet, and not sure if i can freely switch it to android tv
I've heard constantly changing SD can damage the reader though
thanx broo finaly i can play code veronica on switch
it worked well on my 2017 switch
I followed everything and get stuck at 9:07,I have a v1 switch with no mod chip
Could it be my sd card or could it be cause it’s a v1 switch with no mod chip?
there are seperate instructions for v1, v2, oled and lite, and of course modchip or not. Follow internet guide for v1 version
Press volume down if you boot in

@@sthetixofficial Thanks! it seems mine is just regular hwfly, would I need to flash it to nx to also use android 11? or can I use that without flashing?
@Silvers_7 you must browse the hwfly-nx github and read the description there
is it ok to switch sd cards back and forth to emulate android and back to atmosphere?
im scared of turning off and on it too much would broke it...
it is fine.
I'm not getting any video on tv when I dock this.
update. docked is broken and a fix will be available soon via ota
Please let know when this update is implemented i also want to use the switch on dock mode
Still broke
matthew guy commented "People have said that it does not work with being docked yet. I tried it on a third party Dock and I realized the reason it's not working is because you have to hit yes for mirror mode. I could see the screen when plugging it into a third-party Dock and I can hit yes and it works on the TV just fine"
give me solution for
L4T Error: loading SC7-Entry
Update bootloader folder!
Failed to launch L4T!
re extract the L4T package that you got earlier
If i format the system partition inside the lineage Recovery. Is only the android Partition getting a Formation or the whole SD?
it will re partition the whole sd
@@sthetixofficial thx for reply. I tested it. Luckily It only does format the android partition.
Thanks ita working on my nintendo switch oled, but mu bluetooth is not working on android, bluetooth address is unavailable, any tips?
you need to ask the gbatemp community
Im having problems installing LineageOS, Its telling me the zip file is invalid. Have you heard of this before? What did I do wrong?
just get the pre-packaged zip file
Are there any differences between this version and Android 11 when it comes to performance ?
yes if u read the comments. it is a huge leap of updates. you can try it
@@sthetixofficial I did. I´ll definitely try this. How much higher is the performance (in games, emulation) on ANDROID 14 against ANDROID 11 if you would give a percentage as a benchmark ?
I havent tried it but I read the comments on x, it says the update is great
@@sthetixofficial Ok I´ll give it a try anyway. I did cut the Vbus, D+ and D- wires by the way and everything works just fine. Thanks for your replies. I truly appreciate your work. Your are the game console modding KING on the internet imo. Keep up the good work bro !
@MrCANER06 Thank you.
i installed it and everything is good but when i boot into my cfw my theme isnt there and i get a popup that says cannot read microsd and homebrew apps arent there. any idea how to fix this? i backed up everything correctly. could it be that when i moved my files it asked me that some filed have the same name so i pressed replace destination?
figured it out. fix archive bit resolved it
Thank u. I had the same issue.
I did everything exactly without backup but sometimes its show ( The system ui isn't responding) + battery drain too much fast ? How can i fix it please
the android is buggy
@@sthetixofficial there is no way to fix it?

I have updated to linageo s21, Xiaomi 5plas. I have a question why telegram x can't jump to the verification code interface when entering the mobile phone number. The xda developer said it was a VPN problem, but the web page can log in. The app doesn't work. This problem exists in apks in European countries. How can I solve it?
you need to ask them, it is out of the topic
what is the right way to make a new microsd card dedicated only for android ? what are the steps so no splitted partitions with the games etc?
we cannot do much about it.. hekate partition the card like that and it is mixed with the Nintendo switch folder
@@sthetixofficial what i mean is not to remove hekate partition.... but no games at all... have one card for games and on card only for android...so if i dont have any games at all inside new card what steps do i have to avoid or add to install ANDROID?
if you have two cards, then you dont need to worry about the switch side, you can just install hekate, no need to backup the emummc, just partition it and install android. that's it.
@@sthetixofficial uyou are awsome... those information i needed to know :)
Bro kalau saya pake microsd baru, harus backup emmc yg di sdcard lama nggak?
Atau langsung partition?
lgs aja partition
@@sthetixofficial bro 32gb cukup nggak ya? 😁
Soalnya cuma punya yg 32GB
@norlz32 ga cukup. 128GB minimal
@@sthetixofficial ok bro thanks sudah jawab
i used your files but the dock mode does not work. any tips for this? big help. thanks
i dont know, maybe you can ask discord.gg/C29hYvh
@sthetixofficial thank you
another question, can i delete the lineage os and gapps zips after installing?
you can
@@sthetixofficial thanks
Halo kak mau tanya, ini bisa untuk Lite juga ya? Btw kalo kita backup kaya video kakak, apakah untuk savegame nya juga ter backup? Terima kasih kak.
bisa untuk lite. perlu diingat SAVE data ada di nand chip, bukan di sd card. kalo game, bisa di nand bisa di sd card. jadi separah2nya, gamenya pada hilang, bukan save data nya. Kecuali agan ada emummc maka iya, harus ikuti prosedur backup nya agar data save sama game tidak hilang.
@@sthetixofficial thanks kak, saya ikuti cara diatas entah kenapa ga works. Tapi saya akalin pake metode back up dari kakak dan di mix dengan tutorial android lain jadi works. Android bisa, data2 tidak hilang. Thanks ya kak.
update paling baru malahan android 11
kalau menurut agan android mana yg stabil 11/14?
14 bro
Can I do it with different sd card, like one sd card for the cfw, tinfoil etc and the other for android system ?
you can.
how do I upgrade if I currently have android 11 on a separate partition on emummc?
u cannot.. u need to wipe it
when i got into update it does not show switch sd only abd sideload
what does it mean if mines is just sitting on the intial lineage screen with the circles and pound sign in the corner :(
your modchip is not compatible
@@sthetixofficial same is happening to me but i have a v1 switch
I don't know but it should work fine
Punteun om, maaf pas saya coba pasang di docking kok gamau muncul ke monitor external ya? Atau memang gabisa?
saya blm coba juga, mungkin harus pake yang android TV version?
Hi, How can i backup my current android 11? Like get them and put them to another adcard and still work?
maybe you need to search for TWRP, try googling it or read it from the switchroot site.
@@sthetixofficial Thanks, I forgot about twrp. Im silly, Thank you though for fast reply!!!
