hekate VS TegraExplorer

I have a v1 unpatched Switch. I'd like to start the process of installing custom firmware. I read this note about being careful to make sure Atmosphere and Hekate support the latest firmware before updating, which they both seem to. But there's also something about gamecard firmware?

Make sure you have most update files from the main repo GitHub. https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases. Follow the update instructions

Atmosphere : Atmosphere 1.5.4 (pre-release) Hekate : v6.0.4 & Nyx v1.5.3 Sigpatches : sigmapatches.coomer.party or hackintendo.com

I've installed modchip on Lite. It shows the "no sd card" logo. I've tried both hekate official gitthub and HATS packages loaded into an SD card, but it gives a black screen. It returns to no sd card when I press the power button for 10 seconds after removing the sd card.

Download Hekate 6.0.4 from the Github Page: https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases/tag/v6.0.4 And move the extracted ZIP Contents to the Root of your SD Card.

Hekate 6.0.4 is out, get it: https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases/tag/v6.0.4Also make sure you update AMS to 1.5.3: https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/tag/1.5.3

If you've connected to the internet for any reason without blocking Nintendo's servers, then a ban is already on its way. If you haven't then I would highly suggest using TegraExplorer and run "SystemWipe.te" to remove telemetry.

The TegraExplorer payload is what you want. Its SystemWipe.te script will completely wipe your NAND and return it to a factory state.

Well, you could try putting the SD into your Switch and injecting TegraExplorer to see if you can format it that way. If you can, then it's probably an adapter issue. If not, then it's probably a bad card.

Then, after you wipe your sysNAND using TegraExplorer's SystemWipe.te script, you can just drop them all right back in. This will leave your emuNAND intact.

Yes, but you don't need to. Just use TegraExplorer's SystemWipe.te script to wipe the emuMMC clean.

Use TegraExplorer's SystemWipe.te script to wipe it completely clean, and pray he didn't connect it to the internet at all ever.

You probably don't need to do a wipe of the SD card, but it wouldn't hurt. Do so after you dump the games using DBI. To wipe the Switch itself, you'll use a payload called TegraExplorer, which includes a SystemWipe.te script that will handle wiping the console.

Hii!! Try injecting the Tegra explorer and format it to fat 32. Then paste all the files and it will work
