From the bottom of this dudes heart thank you so damn much man. Really been trying to Unbrick my V1 Unpatched switch for over a week since a firmware update crash to 14.0.0 and your guide over all prolly 10-15 of them actually worked. I will always return to this channel each upload and leave a like when i see ur new videos b/c its the least i can do. Take care and your doin Amazing Work.
i would like to honestly say thank you so much for this. i've looked through many videos, reddit post, and forums trying to fix my issue but none of them worked. it was only this video that was the solution. you are honestly, and i could day this a billion times, an awesome person and i hope things go well for you in the future.
SUCCESS. After receiving a new emmc module, managed to follow this video successfully and have a fully working switch which I was already selling for parts... thanks for taking the time to make this guides!
@@arturo3564 Did you manage to revive the console? The same thing happened to me, practically the previous EMMC was completely damaged, and I sent myself to ask for another EMMC to see if I can use it
I could save my old Nintendo Switch thanks to this video! It has been at least 2 years since I didn't see my console back to normal. Thank you so much for sharing such valuable content! Much love
Thank you for this information, was very helpful. And some things to add, than can help : 1. With donor_prodinfo.bin copy and the donor.keys in switch folder. 2. Download the newest version for EmmcHaccGen-GUI. The old one in the archive will not work with newer firmware. At this time the highest firmware that is supported is 17.0.0. 3. If you use 17.0.0 (or higher if possible) after you are done and you run official firmware the console will stuck on black screen. This is normal and is caused from systemwipe. It will happen on firmware from 17.0.0 or up. Systemwipe messed with some files, it always do that but before firmware 17.0.0 was not a problem. To fix it run one time the latest atmosphere from mmc. Atmosphere will fix the problem automatically. 3. Unfortunately the original firmware will never work correctly - most of the times you will never pass the configuration screen with the language and time. After you configured them it will give you system error. Even if somehow it work you cant use online functions, you are missing a lot of data, that this switch need. You even dont have a real serial number anymore. 4. For now on you can use only CFW on this console. Witch is not bad, not bad at all.
Than you so much for this helpful video. I have revived my blue screen switch with this unbrick tutorial. I had tried with other methods. However, they didn't work, until I reached this vid. Greetings from Chile
I would like to say thanks for all the guides, very informative and straight to the point. Got a V1 Switch tablet only that a part from damaged SD connector was also bricked with no backup or able to extract the Keys methods one and two failed, but this last one seems to be the fix. Now I just need to get some joy cons to pass the initial setup and do some testing but so far so good.
You are life saver, My NS switch just got bricked 2 days ago and I can't even boot to Original Firmware cauz I tried to downgrade OFM 19.0.1 to 18.1.0 and I ended up with loop error code. I do everything the same as your video and finally it's work !!
@@tanerdelle5676 kind of hard to explain, I've done quite a few of these, as far as modding them and had never messed one up, I have several with picofly and two that are unpatched, so one of the ones I have that's unpatched I had recently put a different menu on which I had never done before and I had accidentally updated it which in the passed was never an issue, so I went and wiped the memory card thinking that would fix it, when it didn't I freaked out thinking I bricked it when I didn't and was stupid and didn't back up the nand because I thought it was no good. Well it turns out that it was because I forgot to remove the menu which I was told I had to do but forgot but by the time I realized this I had already bricked it trying to flash it. I can still get into the hekate menu and have access to SD card, I followed the Instructions here several times and haven't been successful.
Today, I try this guide again , after [time 12:39] i pressed "boot normally", my NS show me the black screen as usual...so sad......after i reboot and retry SYSMMC, it finally work>,; Thanks for the video!! I did tried LV1,2,3 & new method, tried many times...maybe my step is wrong previously, so I failed many times! This video can fix my 2105-0584 problem. But I still not sure why I failed to upgrade from 16.0.0 to 18.0.0? I need to update 17.0,.0 before 18.0.0? Hope everyone never brick their NS like me~~~ took me over a week to fix......Thanks sthetix!!! You save my old machine and it alive again~~
Wow, this was the only tutorial that actually helped me solve the problem, I am really grateful, congratulations, I had a doubt, after all this process, is it safe to connect the device to wifi or to a nintendo account?
parabens pelo video meu nintendo switch estava semi blincado rodando apenas o sxos pelo chip sxcore e nao subia o original sendo assim nao conseguia abrir atmosphere e com seu video muito bem explicado e eficaz restaurei a nad original e assim consegui atualizar o desbloqueio e assim usar atmosphere obrigado e recomendo o cara e 1000.
Thank you so much for this guide! Was able to revive a switch with a faulty eMMC module (switched it out for a working one I had). Now that the whole process is done, I have little space on the SD card, what can be deleted? I assume I can't delete the rawnand?
hello I want to thank you for the excellent work you did on this video and on this method thanks to you I was desperate I managed to save a friend's switch thank you very much for everything you did . 👏👏👏
Hello @sthetix, will this work for Aula Mariko OLED? I have been trying to follow the guide but then realised that this guide only covers IOWA Mariko OLED
Hy, thanks for the video. I have a question: If i don't have the original emmc because it is burn and i have only new emmc, i can generate prodinfo and prod keys with hekate or i have only 2 blank file?
Hi when i try to dump from sysnand with lockpick rcm it show "FatFS error NOFAT" unable to mount system partition, the emmc is just freshly installed does this mean i have a corrupted or dead emmc
I was told by the original poster that I would need to reflow or re-ball my emmc chip, that was not the case. I just needed to replace the module and then use my original nand backup to restore. After restoring nothing was working because it was a stock fresh clean and backup. So I was on the lowest firmware. From that point I had to update atmosphere and then update the firmware using daybreak and all is good!!!!! Just got done doing a nand backup And archiving it in 20 different places in a zip file. Lol
After you replace the module and restore the original backup nand, how did you manage to use daybreak? Is the switch already booting after you replace the emmc module?
I was always met with Missing LP0 when I was trying to set up my modded switch. I tried your guide and I can't progress past the point where you insert the SD card.
Hi my screen has turned purple. Did the initial steps. Put the SD card back into Switch. Still boots into purple screen and not the Hekate. I also have a complete backup as well. OLED Switch
Thank you for always great videos Can I apply the serial key by following the scene at 04:06 in your "THE PRODINFO GEN TOOL video?" Do I just follow the 04:06 scene and replace prod info? (THE PRODINFO GEN TOOL video 04:06)
Hi! your video is awesome, I would like to ask if this will work on my switch that is stuck on joycon logo, can't go to recovery mode, only way to turn it off is holding the power button, the switch is unpatched model, but never tried doing the cfw, please help me
This method is for hacked consoles only. So if your console is stick on joycon logo, there is something not right on the joycon connector inside the tablet.
OLED gets stuck at the Nintendo Switch logo. I tried level 1, then 2, and finally 3 (no issues). I work in IT and this has been easy to follow, I always start fresh. New SD card (sandisk official) and format it as exfat for the donor nand restore, then i switch to fat32 with latest hats pack to boot switch but its the same problem. I've tried different SD card readers, different firmwares (latest 18.1.0 didn't work so i tried 17.0.1, my fuse says it expects 17.0.0+). I tried older hats pack, no SD card and bypass chip, atmosphere and hekate on their own without hats, but always stuck on nintendo switch logo. I guess something is broken inside? (This started when I used Linkalho, it corrupted my fat32 SD card and somehow my switch stopped booting cfw or ofw. Now I cant boot anything.) Thank you for your videos though, they are very well done.
@@sthetixofficial In my case, Linkalho was also the case. I tried step 1 and 2. With no luck I did step 3. All successful but after normal boot there is a black screen now. Used to be stuck on Nintendo Switch logo now stuck on black. Something is very wrong with that software. If you can figure this out I would be eternally grateful. Thanks
thanks for the complete guide but if original emmc is bad ,when have to install the new one???before doing these? it doesnt say on video when to put a blank or new emmc module into the device,i did it on a diffrent emmc module from another switch,it shows Nintendo logo and goes black.any ideas?
Thank you very much. great guide. In the case of an update, how should it be done. I put the last firmware released on my switch, but what about when a new one comes out?
With this could i use a nand from another switch as I have several faulty but some are worse then others. Some just will not complete all the actions in your video. Thanks
I installed a wrong nand since the folder created when making backup does not match and now the atmosphere logo remains and does not start or in ofw the screen remains black, will this method work?
Hey mate, need your advice if i should follow through this or not, i have the original nand backup, but dont have the keys, probably fucked up because i downgraded the firmware before trying to restore it. Switch doesn't boot at all, should I follow the tutorial in this video?
Hi there. My switch shows 'hekate-no-sd' when turned on, but when SD card with payload inserted, it's just a black screen (no Hekate menu). Most forums I visited says it might be a CPU or eMMC problem. I'm going to try this, thank you.
@@sthetixofficial thanks alot :). Will tryout other SD cards. Is there a minimum size, like would a 32gb be okay? Just to test out which ones would work.
hello, your tutorials are great, i have a problem with the script , i do double click, terminal window open and close very fast, i installed the program you mentioned beginning the video but nothing, do you know why occurs this? thanks
I have a switch oled mod with picofly and have corrupted nand. Unfortunately this guid doesn't work, because I can't run atmosphere, just hekate without NYX. SD Card reader is ok. Is it possible in some way to boot into atmosphere with a corrupted nand? And other question: is it possible to load atmosphere with a new "clean" solderded emmc?
Thank you for the answer! Also with other modchip it's impossible to run any payload. I seems the NAND is corrupted in a very early position, because there are problems to read from sd card, but card and slot are OK...
hi @sthetix I followed this guide to bring back my bricked switch from the dead, and it worked. but 1 question, how would i go about updating the FW version?? last time i tried, i had to do the unbricking process again.
Thanks for sharing this info. My screen is blank and although I have tried various methods to wake it up (holding down power button, volume down, etc) the screen stays blacked out. I do hear the noise on my PC when connecting it to a USB but screen stays off and it won't boot? Is it likely bricked?
@@sthetixofficial I am in the same situation... with my oled , it has a corrupted emmc and it stays in black screen...(I have a NAND backup) when plugged into PC it is recognized as Nintendo APX Device. The Instinct NX is soldered correctly all the points have good readings and nothing is shorted. It was working fine for 5 months. :(
Without the SD Card, it shows a red icon of an SD Card that says "boot.bin?" After inserting SD Card, the payload injects but the screen stays blank. Serial number has been checked and is not patched. Any ideas?
Stuck again! I'm at @11:46 in the video. Doing the System Restore V3. I launch script then restored both BIS and SYSTEM. Gets to the end of restoration and says [FatFS] Error: NOFAT [FATAL] failed to mount SYSTEM
@@sthetixofficial hey I'm doing part 2 and I'm at 3:57 of the video with the NxNandManager part. Once I open the drive eMMC GPP Hekate and shows Device ID and FW ver says BAD CRYPTO! In red lettering. Stuck again 😔
Hello may i ask a few question, are this tutorial are work without the original nand installed to the board? I have just installed a new clean emmc to the board, and i dont have any idea how to restore it back. Thank you
hi, great video, can i use emmc 32gb for a switch normal to replace the 64gb switch oled? of curse i rezize the user partition to flash the emmc 32gb, edit: yes boot again my oled with 32gb emmc donor for other switch normal. Thaks sthetix!!!!!!!!!!
Hello. Thank you very much, it worked for me, perfectly, it cost me a bit (lack of space in the notebook), the bricked console was about 7 years old. I had tried many tutorials and nothing. By the way, I noticed that I can't connect to the Nintendo Shop. And I think it's because I'm missing the serial number. any way to restore it?
Hello there, not sure if mt issue is similar but after updating to 17.0.0 and atmosphere 1.6.2.... my switch wont boot up to either nand or cfw It loops and says error and when i go into hakete, it shows the simplified version of it and when i press launch it just says sd not inserted...but it is
my switch lite is not recognized by tegrarcmgui, also the PC usb ports turn off when I connect the switch to it, forcing me to restart the computer to make them work again
After trying to reball my emmc chip without a stencil i learnt the hard way to not fk around and find out. Ripped pads on chip and very toasted emmc motherboard. I ordered a replacement emmc chip + board from aliexpress hopefully that will solve my dumb mistake
Hello . I got to the point of running the EmmcHaccGen GUI but the computer could not export the file (when I clicked on run it only flashed once and then exited). Does my computer need to install anything else? Thanks you very much
So what i eneded up doing was downloading 3.1.0 ........ If you rapid click, eventually the command will prompting telling you which version to downolaod. For me it was 3.1.0
I have a purple screen oled, I am able to get prod.keys boot0 and boot1 but unable to mount it on nxnandmanager. On hacDiskMount it loads and It shows a prodinfo file but when I dump and load it in nxnandmanager it looks corrupted. Should I give up on retreaving the original prodinfo and just install a donor prodinfo like in this video? it hacdiskmount it says using Backup GPT is primary is bad
Thank you for your continues help I replaced my switch oled nand an when i tried those steps nxnand manager show me bad crypto even though i downloaded Donor OLED NAND and did every thing correctly any ideas what could cause this issue?
Will this guide work on brand new empty emmc? I've broke my original emmc while trying to reball it and have no backup of it. And ordered a new emmc chip from ali.
@@sthetixofficial okay, it must be the emmc because I get a message when I do it Hackate, I'll have to buy another one. Thank you very much for answering
Hello can you help me Sir ? I followed your Guide but in the end when I chose to reboot it normally only the Nintendo Logo shows and it doesnt start up now. I hope you can help me with my problem
I have a patched switch and it was brand new when I bought it. Took it to a friend's house to play at work just fine got home and it wouldn't boot. Did some troubleshooting and I was able to get into the Hecate boot menu where the options to back up the nand and other options are. It says failed to initialize the emmc, and I can't restore the nand because of it. Would this guide help with that?
Hi @sthetix anyway to fix issue with systemrestore? Used hacgen and have files needed which i can create working emunand with no problem but getting error writing to system says failed to write bis any way to fix it?
I have another question, I’m manly worried about all of my saves on the Emunand because that’s what I use to play Nintendo Switch I was wondering, will I still have all of my saves on the switch?
@@sthetixofficialI’ve encountered a roadblock I’ve tried to move the “donor_rawnand” file onto my sd card however it says “file to large” however my sd card is on “exfat (default)” is there a way to make the file moveable thank you.
Which tutorial should I use? My switch reboots to a black screen. When I try level 1 I get the atmosphere icon then screen goes black again. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Thank you for your back up guide I have one question After finishing nxnand manager working I check that my nand is corretly installed, but nxnand manager show me bad crypto What is wrong with me?
hi sthetix, i have a question in the nxnandmanager when i tried to put the prod.keys file nothing appear but with the donor_prod.keys file keys appear what should i do ?
I have a switch with a damaged emmc, hekate said it failed to init emmc. No backups, prodinfo, boot0, nothing. Bought a emmc module replacement and it detected correctly in hekate. Can i use this method to rebuild the nand? Edit: it's an ofw, never jailbreaking it before.
I'm in the same situation - no backups, failed to init emmc in hekate. Used ofw. Tried an emmc reader to recover keys, but couldn't do it (device wasn't recognized). Is it broken beyond repair? Apart from re-balling, are there any other options?
@@sthetixofficial I tried reballing it using a cheap heat gun and well... now when I connect it to mmcblknx it starts to smoke, so that didn't go so well! :D On the brighter side - I just finished going through the process described in this video and was able to boot into stock FW. Thanks a bunch for the guide, you sir, are a true legend! Is there a point in using emuMMC after rebuilding NAND from the donor?

(This started when I used Linkalho, it corrupted my fat32 SD card and somehow my switch stopped booting cfw or ofw. Now I cant boot anything.)
Thank you for your videos though, they are very well done.
I will make an even easier guide to replace this old guide. stay tuned. thx
@@sthetixofficial In my case, Linkalho was also the case. I tried step 1 and 2. With no luck I did step 3. All successful but after normal boot there is a black screen now. Used to be stuck on Nintendo Switch logo now stuck on black. Something is very wrong with that software. If you can figure this out I would be eternally grateful. Thanks
soon.
IF you have a previous nand backup, please restore it.
@@sthetixofficial I didn't have any Nand backup. This was my final solution :(. I wish it worked. Waiting for your video
thanks for the complete guide but if original emmc is bad ,when have to install the new one???before doing these? it doesnt say on video when to put a blank or new emmc module into the device,i did it on a diffrent emmc module from another switch,it shows Nintendo logo and goes black.any ideas?
you need to install the emmc chip before doing this guide. OR if you have a working nand backup, just restore it.
Yey I try it to my switch its working now thank you 🥰❤
thank you it helped me to revive my device :)
Thank you very much. great guide. In the case of an update, how should it be done. I put the last firmware released on my switch, but what about when a new one comes out?
you can always use daybreak and i will upload a new video about updating the prodinfo. asap.
With this could i use a nand from another switch as I have several faulty but some are worse then others. Some just will not complete all the actions in your video.
Thanks
I installed a wrong nand since the folder created when making backup does not match and now the atmosphere logo remains and does not start or in ofw the screen remains black, will this method work?
La nintendo swit se podra jugar online despues del proceso gracias!?
Hey mate, need your advice if i should follow through this or not, i have the original nand backup, but dont have the keys, probably fucked up because i downgraded the firmware before trying to restore it. Switch doesn't boot at all, should I follow the tutorial in this video?
No bro, just restore your original nand backup. you dont need the keys if you restore the nand.
Hi there. My switch shows 'hekate-no-sd' when turned on, but when SD card with payload inserted, it's just a black screen (no Hekate menu).
Most forums I visited says it might be a CPU or eMMC problem.
I'm going to try this, thank you.
no. ur sdcard is not compatible. it is not bricked
@@sthetixofficial thanks alot :). Will tryout other SD cards. Is there a minimum size, like would a 32gb be okay? Just to test out which ones would work.
hello, your tutorials are great, i have a problem with the script , i do double click, terminal window open and close very fast, i installed the program you mentioned beginning the video but nothing, do you know why occurs this? thanks
you can edit the script and see the error. BUt there will be a new guide with new method soon.
@@sthetixofficial ok thanks, i Will wait for it
@@sthetixofficial any update regarding the guide with the new method?
I am busy but I will manage it soon
Hi. This tutorial is awesome but can you tell me if I have a good prod.keys can I recover my original serial number?
U cannot recover the serial number unless u have the original prodinfo from the console
Hi, I'm doing the procedure on my Oled. In the Copying Registered 11,46 part there was a Fatal error
[FatsFS] Error WLI0
[Fatal] An error occured during SYSTEM copying
Just wait for the upcoming simplified guide.
I have a switch oled mod with picofly and have corrupted nand. Unfortunately this guid doesn't work, because I can't run atmosphere, just hekate without NYX. SD Card reader is ok. Is it possible in some way to boot into atmosphere with a corrupted nand? And other question: is it possible to load atmosphere with a new "clean" solderded emmc?
Just replace that picofly and use a proper one. Picofly is known can damage the console. And btw i've uploaded a new guide fo the level 3 method.
Thank you for the answer! Also with other modchip it's impossible to run any payload. I seems the NAND is corrupted in a very early position, because there are problems to read from sd card, but card and slot are OK...
even if the nand is corrupted, it should be able to boot to hekate.
hi @sthetix
I followed this guide to bring back my bricked switch from the dead, and it worked. but 1 question, how would i go about updating the FW version??
last time i tried, i had to do the unbricking process again.
You need to use daybreak and watch the prodinfo gen guide
@@sthetixofficial apa ada video tutotial utk hal ini? apa ditutor ini max firmware di 13.0.0?apa bisa diupdate lbh tinggi?
Bisa sampe 15.0.1
@@sthetixofficial i figured it out! thanks so much again for the guidance.
Thanks for sharing this info. My screen is blank and although I have tried various methods to wake it up (holding down power button, volume down, etc) the screen stays blacked out. I do hear the noise on my PC when connecting it to a USB but screen stays off and it won't boot? Is it likely bricked?
replied through email
@@sthetixofficial I am in the same situation... with my oled , it has a corrupted emmc and it stays in black screen...(I have a NAND backup) when plugged into PC it is recognized as Nintendo APX Device. The Instinct NX is soldered correctly all the points have good readings and nothing is shorted. It was working fine for 5 months. :(
Thank you sooo much!!! 😍😘
Without the SD Card, it shows a red icon of an SD Card that says "boot.bin?"
After inserting SD Card, the payload injects but the screen stays blank. Serial number has been checked and is not patched. Any ideas?
try using my pack, github.com/sthetix/HATS
Stuck again! I'm at @11:46 in the video. Doing the System Restore V3. I launch script then restored both BIS and SYSTEM.
Gets to the end of restoration and says
[FatFS] Error: NOFAT
[FATAL] failed to mount SYSTEM
do the level2 guide
@@sthetixofficial thank you👍🏿
@@sthetixofficial I'll let you know how it goes . I been at it all week smh
@@sthetixofficial hey I'm doing part 2 and I'm at 3:57 of the video with the NxNandManager part.
Once I open the drive eMMC GPP Hekate and shows
Device ID and FW ver says BAD CRYPTO! In red lettering.
Stuck again 😔
bad crypto means the key is not correct
Hello may i ask a few question, are this tutorial are work without the original nand installed to the board? I have just installed a new clean emmc to the board, and i dont have any idea how to restore it back. Thank you
Yes, correct. IF you dont have a previous nand backup, you can follow the guide.
hi, great video, can i use emmc 32gb for a switch normal to replace the 64gb switch oled? of curse i rezize the user partition to flash the emmc 32gb, edit: yes boot again my oled with 32gb emmc donor for other switch normal. Thaks sthetix!!!!!!!!!!
you can.
Thank you for helping
I can fix breaked switch with your education
hello again! if i generate prodinfo from scratch the console will have the original serial number or not? thank you! (although can't read game carts)
Hello. Thank you very much, it worked for me, perfectly, it cost me a bit (lack of space in the notebook), the bricked console was about 7 years old. I had tried many tutorials and nothing.
By the way, I noticed that I can't connect to the Nintendo Shop. And I think it's because I'm missing the serial number. any way to restore it?
You cannot connect it to the eshop again unless you have the previous nand backup, extract the prodinfo from it and flash it to the console
@@sthetixofficial I'll try thanks
I have an old backup of my sd card is there anyway to unbrick it using that? I get a black screen after booting
Hello there, not sure if mt issue is similar but after updating to 17.0.0 and atmosphere 1.6.2.... my switch wont boot up to either nand or cfw
It loops and says error and when i go into hakete, it shows the simplified version of it and when i press launch it just says sd not inserted...but it is
SD card might be broken
@@bitelaserkhalif na i found out the issue and fixed it already
my switch lite is not recognized by tegrarcmgui, also the PC usb ports turn off when I connect the switch to it, forcing me to restart the computer to make them work again
After trying to reball my emmc chip without a stencil i learnt the hard way to not fk around and find out. Ripped pads on chip and very toasted emmc motherboard. I ordered a replacement emmc chip + board from aliexpress hopefully that will solve my dumb mistake
*also forgot to mention thanks for the very informative and helpful video as always
u r welcome
update: part arrived, now it works without any problem.
Hello . I got to the point of running the EmmcHaccGen GUI but the computer could not export the file (when I clicked on run it only flashed once and then exited). Does my computer need to install anything else? Thanks you very much
maybe the keys arent there? or you havent installed the correct dot net version, it should be 3.1, you can find it in the description.
So what i eneded up doing was downloading 3.1.0 ........ If you rapid click, eventually the command will prompting telling you which version to downolaod. For me it was 3.1.0
I have a purple screen oled, I am able to get prod.keys boot0 and boot1 but unable to mount it on nxnandmanager. On hacDiskMount it loads and It shows a prodinfo file but when I dump and load it in nxnandmanager it looks corrupted. Should I give up on retreaving the original prodinfo and just install a donor prodinfo like in this video? it hacdiskmount it says using Backup GPT is primary is bad
If you ever made an emmc, you can extract the prodinfo data from it
Thank you for your continues help
I replaced my switch oled nand an when i tried those steps nxnand manager show me bad crypto
even though i downloaded Donor OLED NAND and did every thing correctly any ideas what could cause this issue?
please redo the guide from the beginning.
@@sthetixofficialshould i try using Donor nand not the oled one?
Is there any difference between them?
you should always use a donor nand but I think u missed the details so please rewatch the guide from the beginning before you do it
@@sthetixofficial I mean the files, I tried the donor oled nand files and the result was bad crypto. Should i use donor nand files instead?
As i said previously, you did not follow the guide thoroughly. The guide is fine but you didn't do it correctly.
Will this guide work on brand new empty emmc? I've broke my original emmc while trying to reball it and have no backup of it. And ordered a new emmc chip from ali.
yes it does
@sthetixofficial thanksman! Amazing guide. Will try once the emmc will arrives
Can I use in OLED (HOS 17.0.0) with picofly cause purple screen? Please advise. Thanks.
i dont use pico bro..sorry.
@@sthetixofficial Thx.
Hello, in restore both when bracking up bis (FATAL) Failed bracking up bis, any solution?
your keys arent right or the emmc is damaged.
@@sthetixofficial okay, it must be the emmc because I get a message when I do it Hackate, I'll have to buy another one. Thank you very much for answering
Hello can you help me Sir ? I followed your Guide but in the end when I chose to reboot it normally only the Nintendo Logo shows and it doesnt start up now. I hope you can help me with my problem
try to lower the firmware , try to use 16.1.0 with the emmchaccgen , and try to boot it again.
what if we can't dump the emmc? i can't do that on my oled so i want to make a clean blank emunand. will only be for offline play.
you can dump the emmc using hekate.
I’ve done everything but can’t find the exe file for the emmuhacgen help please
I have a patched switch and it was brand new when I bought it. Took it to a friend's house to play at work just fine got home and it wouldn't boot.
Did some troubleshooting and I was able to get into the Hecate boot menu where the options to back up the nand and other options are.
It says failed to initialize the emmc, and I can't restore the nand because of it.
Would this guide help with that?
The emmc chip needs to be reballed, don't use the guide
Hi @sthetix anyway to fix issue with systemrestore? Used hacgen and have files needed which i can create working emunand with no problem but getting error writing to system says failed to write bis any way to fix it?
Just restore the working nand backup.
I have a question about the “Dumb from Sysnand” is the whole process still the same when I do the “Dumb from Emunand”?
yes, as long as you can dump the keys from any of those world, it is fine.
I have another question, I’m manly worried about all of my saves on the Emunand because that’s what I use to play Nintendo Switch I was wondering, will I still have all of my saves on the switch?
@SonicKidXD your saves on the emunand is inside the emunand itself.
@@sthetixofficialI’ve encountered a roadblock I’ve tried to move the “donor_rawnand” file onto my sd card however it says “file to large” however my sd card is on “exfat (default)” is there a way to make the file moveable thank you.
@SonicKidXD try to flash the emmc with the nxnandmanager, not with hekate
Which tutorial should I use? My switch reboots to a black screen. When I try level 1 I get the atmosphere icon then screen goes black again. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
try to use lower firmware like the 16.1.0 and see using the emmchaccgen + systemrestore
Thank you for your back up guide
I have one question
After finishing nxnand manager working
I check that my nand is corretly installed, but nxnand manager show me bad crypto
What is wrong with me?
check the console keys
@@sthetixofficial thank you sir
you mean,
I enter to hekete menu-> console info -> Fuses -> Dump Fuses
Is it right?
no .
use your keys and use it on the nxnandmanager.
Omg thank you so much @sthetix i bricked my switch but now it's working. You are the best 😎🙂
hi sthetix, i have a question
in the nxnandmanager when i tried to put the prod.keys file nothing appear but with the donor_prod.keys file keys appear what should i do ?
you need to dump the console prod.keys using the lockpick rcm
I have a switch with a damaged emmc, hekate said it failed to init emmc. No backups, prodinfo, boot0, nothing. Bought a emmc module replacement and it detected correctly in hekate. Can i use this method to rebuild the nand?
Edit: it's an ofw, never jailbreaking it before.
do you have a backup nand?
I'm in the same situation - no backups, failed to init emmc in hekate. Used ofw. Tried an emmc reader to recover keys, but couldn't do it (device wasn't recognized). Is it broken beyond repair? Apart from re-balling, are there any other options?
reball it and see
@@sthetixofficial I tried reballing it using a cheap heat gun and well... now when I connect it to mmcblknx it starts to smoke, so that didn't go so well! :D
On the brighter side - I just finished going through the process described in this video and was able to boot into stock FW.
Thanks a bunch for the guide, you sir, are a true legend!
Is there a point in using emuMMC after rebuilding NAND from the donor?
no point if you don't have the original nand backup
Does this tutorial work if I have a new nand module to replace the damaged one and I don't have a safe copy of the original sysnand?
yes u can
Amazing Tutorial! ❤
