Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Hayato213]

This is exactly, what I did. I moved bootloader and atmosphere folder to my harddrive and inserted the unzipped hekate and atmosphere folder to my sd. After that, I copied my bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini and bootloader/res to SD.

This is, how my bootloader looks like.

Since you got "Failed to init or mount SD" does hekate see your SD card?

@Hayato213 Yes, I can navigate to launch and then see my hekate launch configs for ofw and cfw and i can launch them.

 

[Hayato213]

@Hayato213 Yes, I can type launch and see my hekate launch configs for ofw and.

Do what @binkinator said, download fresh copy of Atmosphere and Hekate, but do keep in mind Atmosphere is in pre-release state, so people would encounter problem.

@Hayato213 As I said here https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-noob-paradise-ask-questions-here.488277/post-10083218

I did this already

 

[DerBreManaar]

Does anyone know how to fix my problem? Or is there a way to boot back into ofw? I hope its not bricked. I think i wait until the switch is out of power and i hope i can boot back into ofw.

Try atmosphere 1.4.1 the previous one.

 

[MSco]

@Hayato213 Same error with 1.4.1 (again, I deleted atmosphere folder before inserting the new one).

Not sure what is the problem if you tried 1.4.1 that isn't the latest, I haven't updated mine, Im also on an OLED.

Hello guys i have a huge problem. Last week, when i tried to boot into sys cfw via hekate, i got an error(Picture 1). Because i wanted to play online, i booted into ofw. Today, i wanted to try again with booting into rcm then hekate and then emummc and sysmmc. My mom deleted tegrarcm gui and the hekate_ctcaer.bin file for my hekate version. I reinstalled tegrarcmgui and downloaded the latest release of hekate because i forgot which version i had used before. When i sent paypload, an error appeared saying that i have to update my bootloader folder and there will be "dragons". I just pressed a key and it disaapeared. After that i tried booting into emummc and everything worked. Thdn i went back to hekate and booted into sysmmc. A yellow screen appeared (picture two) and i cannot do anything now. Please help me!

Does it boot into Hekate? is that Yellow or other color screen, doesn't look like Yellow?

I caoont click anything an it is not in rcm so i cant inject payload. Yesh it is actually yellow. It looks a bit green on the picture. Is there a way to boot into hekate without rcm?

You need RCM to boot into Hekate, try the latest build of Hekate.

I got it working by going back to hekate 6.0.1. Now nyx and my cfw (15.0.1) work fine.

However my ofw (16.0.0) doesn't boot anymore, because this hekate version doesnt support 16.0.0.

There is Hekate 6.0.2 it says support 16.0.0

Nice catch!

I cannot go into rcm because i cannot turn off my switch. No button is working

Hold power button down for 13 good seconds and it will turn off.

Had not seen any yellow screens before…now I’ve seen 2 < 12 hours. Something’s funky…

Stick with first party dock, unless you want to brick, when the switch asks for specific voltage and the dock supply the wrong voltage that why the switch brick.

Wow... do you have some information about this so that I can investigate a bit more (forum dicussions on the topic, posts on some websites, ...) ?
Thanks

You can read up about firmware 5.0.0 dock brick.

I've checked a bit, it seems that this type of issue is quite old, I was not able to find equivalent problems that are recent and it seems (at least from my recent research) to mainly impact Nyko docks.

But I've read multiple (not a lot for sure but still not only one) posts on forums from people using third party docks from aliexpress (or equivalent sites that I have not even heard of) that caused strange behaviour. It was pretty clear from some posts that maybe nothing happened, the person who posted basically said something like I think my battery is drained quicker than usual but had no real proof and was not even sure of that behaviour (for other posts it seemed clear that their switch had problems, was it because of the doc I don't know for sure but it can).

Nonetheless this is something that should be considered if someone reads my post one day. On my side, I won't take the risk.

Not the problem is quite old, the brick would still happen on latest firmware if you use third party dock.

Move/rename your /atmosphere/contents folder to /atmosphere/contents.bk and reboot.

You can use it without going online for sure. How are you determining you must be online?

When I try to play it says you need to be online
