You mean it's not necessary to make Nand backup with it off?
You don't need to make a NAND backup with AutoRCM off. It just means that you will have AutoRCM enabled if you ever restore the backup.
Take the backup you have and put it somewhere safe.
How do I update the switch main firmware if 90dns is blocking all connections to Nintendo?
Use ChoiDujourNX to update your system.
What is stealth actually doing on SX OS?
Pretty much the same thing as 90DNS.
I keep reading about a clean emunand, what is this and how do I know if mine is clean?
You should only ever use online play using a clean NAND. For example, if you have a clean sysNAND (no hacks ever used) but a dirty emuNAND (where you use all of your hacks), you should never connect to the internet with the dirty emuNAND (unless you have 90DNS and/or Incognito installed).
Whenever I try and open most games I get a message that says download update or run software...if i click update it just fails to connect, but my switch is online as it passes the main settings internet test.
90DNS, Incognito, and the SX OS "stealth mode" block connections to Nintendo's servers. You cannot install system updates nor game updates with any of these three things installed. If you remove all three of these things, you will likely be banned from online play if you're using a dirty NAND.
If you want to update a game on a dirty NAND, download the game update NSP and install it. If you want to update your system on a dirty NAND, use ChoiDujourNX.
Is this update for the actual switch or each game I click?
The error you described means there's a recommended game update that isn't installed.
If it is for games can I update them and if so how?
Install the NSP for the game update you want to install.
At times I get a login to online and an option to click my user icon, but when ever I do I get a cannot connect error? Is this to do with stealth or 90dns?
You cannot use any Nintendo services with 90DNS, "stealth mode," or Incognito installed. If you are on a dirty NAND, you will be banned if you remove all three of these things.
Is playing online a total NO? Mainly for Mario kart and FIFA?
If you want to play online, you need to use a clean NAND that has never touched hacks before. That also means that the games you play online with must be legitimately purchased. For people who want to play online, it's recommended that they use a clean sysNAND for online play and a dirty emuNAND for all things related to hacks.
Hello,
How to remove the system update on 7.0.1 cfw?
If your system downloaded a system update, booting into Recovery Mode (not RCM) will clear the update. You should be blocking updates with 90DNS and/or Incognito if you don't want updates to be downloaded. If you are using CFW, you also shouldn't be connected to the internet without 90DNS and/or Incognito. Otherwise, you will likely be banned.
There is also no reason not to update to 8.1.0 at this point.
Why does the guy in the restore / backup guide always mention a 32 GB MicroSD card? Is a 64 GB not working here?
You can use a 64 GB SD card.
Hello, I'm really new to hacking switch. I'm following this guide switch.homebrew.guide/hacking/nereba/pegascape and I'm at step 2 option B: injecting fake news (atmosphere via rcm).
when I press launch on hekate there is CFW sysnand, CFW emunand, Stock sysnand and stock emunand.
where to inject the fake news? and Should I backup NAND and BiS key before injecting fake news?
- Which system version are you on? If it's higher than 4.1.0, PegaScape is useless to you.
- In order to install Fake News, you have to actually boot into CFW ("CFW sysNAND" in Hekate). After that, the Switch will seemingly boot normally, and you can launch the Homebrew Launcher from there using the instructions in the guide.
- You should make a NAND backup before doing anything else. It's the first thing you should do.
Hi guys, there are 9 page of Tutorial, but I can't find what I must do, I have a Nintendo Switch and I want to Mod it, I have FW 8.1.0 and I read about Atmosphère V0.9.1, but I can't find a Tutorial step by step to install it, have you got IT pls?
I have bought the RCM tool and 2 Micro SD 1 64 GB (
Kingston SDCS/64GB Canvas Select Scheda MicroSD 64 GB, UHS-I ) for the NAND Bakup and one 128GB (
Samsung MB-ME128GA/EU EVO) for the game. I hoper they are good on Nitendo switch. Tx for the help
You need to make sure your Switch is unpatched and compatible with the RCM exploit. Follow this guide to see if your Switch can accept RCM payloads:

If your Switch is unpatched, it is forever hackable. If your Switch is ipatched, it cannot be hacked on 8.1.0.
