So if I restore a clean backup without mod. Can i go online right?
Should be fine since RCM is virtually undetectable by Nintendo.
Hey guys. I was trying to determine whether I should hack my switch on 6.2 with Reinx or Atmosphere. I wanted to go with Reinx solely because they have such a convenient guide website that should be updated soon, but if Atmosphere is better or will be a lot better in the future then maybe I should go with that? If so is there an official guide for Atmosphere or do I need to just watch youtube videos. Thanks.

I'm wanting to stream from my PC, but I don't want to connect and risk ban. Is there a way yet to run my switch with wifi on and not get banned while running SXOS? I haven't connected to the internet since running SXOS and I haven't ran any homebrew before that. I don't know if I'm banned or not right now, but I'd rather not connect to check and risk it. Pretty much what I'm asking is, is there anyway to block nintendo's servers so they don't see that my switch is modified?

Thanks for the help.

I have another question and wasn't sure if I should put make two posts or not. I only have a 64GB micro sd card and was wondering if I need to keep my NAND backup on the micro sd card or if I can take it off after making it. I don't want to buy a bigger one yet but I want to keep some games on it. Thanks.

Possibly the last one:

All I have access to is Linux. Can I use any commercial file splitting software to split.xci files or do I have to use a particular one meant specifically for .xci

Just bought a switch today. Didn't read up enough apparently and installed REINX without making an NAND using hekate first. when I first booted into REINX wifi was on. i turned it on to airplane mode and make an NAND backup shortly after booting in REINX, but not sure if that is enough.

Am I screwed? Is there a way for me to get a clean(ish) NAND by booting into hekate, backing up the NAND there, and then using that NAND as the restore point when going online?

Hi everyone!
Maybe this was already answered somewhere but 408 pages is a lot to read!

I bought the switch today, but apparently my serial number is patched. Is there a way to know when a new hack will appear?

Are there cheats on atmosphere or reinx?

Is there a custom firmware switcher? Like can I switch between atmosphere and reinx easily ?

HELP!

I have just accidentally installed (.nsp) a DLC UPDATE! I have gone to the "switch" folder and deleted the folder that had the equivalent amount of data but it is still on the home menu! I can't even press + to open up options to uninstall! I want to get rid of it.

It shows as a loading circle that never loads and takes up a slot on my home menu

SX OS' Stealth Mode should be able to take care of that since it blocks all Nintendo-related connections. Just enable it and setup your Wi-Fi settings.
Is there a way to load it without entering the system, since I'm stuck at loading screen?
ChoiDujour uses RCM which you can always access as long as your console has battery.
Is there a minimum OFW requirement to run the lastest CFW? Can I run ReiNX on my 1.0 OFW switch?
Unfortunately ReiNX doesn't support 1.0. Atmosphere does but I don't know about SX OS.
Hi, before I backup the Nand, do I have to convert the microsd card to exfat?
You don't have to. If you use FAT32, it will be dumped in parts which you can join afterwards. If you use exFAT and you have enough free space, it will be dumped as one file.
