Would be great to get the saves into cloud but it is not possibe. As soon as you write from CFW to OFW you do edit OFW and Nintendo recognize it ;-)

You can only move saves to an unmodded Switch if you have an unpatched (old) Switch.
Then you can inject a payload to start Hekate in order to dump the internal NAND memory.
Then you can mount that on a PC, add the savefiles and put that back on the unmodded Switch.

If you have a patched or OLED model, then you're out of luck.

Yeah and then Nintendo recognize it and ban your console from online services. Everytime you inject something to internal nand (sysnand), you risk to 99,9% a ban. That's why you should not touch sysnand and use AMS only with emuMMC (dumped OFW to microSD).

Edit: You can injected unpatched and patched consoles, the complexity is that patched models (V2, Oled) needs a modchip. For example in germany you will find a few people who modchip your console for 100€.
