Dude tysm for this! I am a complete noob at the Nintendo Switch stuff. Mine was patched so had to hard mod it and dude.. I thought this was gonna be a walk in the park... lmao. I've modded over 200+ Xbox 360s and it did not prepare me for how tiny the capacitors that needed to be soldered were on this thing. I did not have a microscope so it was pure guessing on if I had the chip connected to them or not lmao. Luckily I somehow got it first try and your videos have been an ABSOLUTE blessing! Seriously, thank you so fuckin much for your dedication man!
Ha no problem I had to get a scope mind you I found out my phones camera hooked up via Srcpy to my windows worked really well for one of my lites as well! I could have saved $150 on the scope in that case but way to late to return it. Glad you got yours hacked so many opportunities open up with a hacked Switch I just wish the big N would realize what they COULD do with their games.
I tried to do the partition setup couple of years ago when I did my switch, but the guides where badly explain, now i got a switch lite that I'll be working on soon, and this guide will be handy. Thanks. Ps: the mario kart game is asking you to update probably because has an update or a dlc that requires the new firmware version.
Oh awesome, the other partitions would be for flashing Android as well btw but I didn't care much for Android way way back when I first hacked my V1. I knew that about Mario Kart too when filming this I didn't expect it to ask me to update though so it threw me off at the time 😂.
@@lum1lad775 me 2 I went ahead and bought the oled Zelda switch with a mod chip installed and I’m still lost I can get custom themes kinda and it works great but it’s way to complicated for me
Just finished modding my switch lite following the Pico Fly Mod Chip 2040 Install tutorial and it flashes blue then green but shows nothing on the display at all, even following the first part of this tutorial installing Hekate nothing shows up on screen when starting it up, Just backlight
Excuse me, it will works on which serial number’s Switch ? Or all serial numbers will working also? “I understand it’s just work on Switch , maybe will not work on Oled” And just use the SD card step by step follow the video is fine? Don’t need to open the machine to welding anything on the board ? Sorry for the long questions 🙏🏼
This works on a V2 switch. When I try the same instructions on the OLED switch at 05:10 in the video, the payloads do not show for Lockpick? It also took 70 minutes to backup. Are these instructions the same for the OLED switch?
Followed your video all the way up to enabling emuEmmc once it finished and it was enabled my switch started to glitch and once rebooted it won't do anything now. Power buttons doesn't do anything and I checked my solder points. What could be wrong?
I will have to make a video about this because this guide is only for 18.0.1 and there's a specific way to update the folders then do this mod. You have to follow the steps here, then add the new update for 18.1.0 to the the folders after you've followed these steps. After that you will boot into the emmuc.
Does this still apply if I already copied over the newly updated files that you provided in the description I started with the newly updated files not the old ones
@@MultiGenesis666 yes so how I've been doing Switches for locals is by updating the files after I do all the steps shown. Then booting if that makes sense.
Yeah that kinda makes since, should I just wait for your next video? And do you think that will fix my issue? Because as of right now there is no life from my switch after enabling muemmc and then rebooting. I appreciate the quick responses, I'm new to this
Excuse my ignorance and I may be answering my own question but wanted to check with you. So several years ago I did this with my switch with CFW. I remember doing most of this to set it up. Now I was going to get a switch lite with the modchip but it looks like I’m having to do all those same steps as years ago with the SD card. Am I missing what the chip is for? Is it the actual CFW now? But you still have to install all these programs, etc. Great video btw.
The chip flashes a hack using the RasPi chip so it's permanent no jigs or anything needed. The reason you need the software setup after is because you're running your Switch off the SD card initially instead of the nand. The chip needs these files including the preload flasher because it needs to read the firmware of Hakate for example to run on the Switch.
Thanks for the info. Will I have to continually update all the stuff on the sd card like in the past even with the chip? Trying to see what the benefits are for getting the chipped switch vs the old method. I means yes I remember the jig. That was a slight pain.
I have a second problem. After i go into the launch menu and choose anything it shows the hekate loading screen and after that there is a black screen. Do you know how to fix it?
Is the sd card format fat32 or exfat? Ive seen conflicting information on which to use; fat32 is preferred for stability but doesnt let you install games over 4gb or something? Im guessing that means youre using exfat since mario kart is nearly 7gb? Any advice would be appreciated, your guides have been super helpful so far. Thanks.
Hey, ive been trying to figure it out for 2 days already but when I put all the latest files for atmosphere and hetake into the root of my switch sd card the switch doesnt boot into hetake and just says no sd card. Im not sure what i did wrong maybe the sd card reader?
If you put the files properly, tried a different sd card, and tried formatting your SD card to exfat, it could just be your reader. If you're doing it with a V1/2 Switch make sure the SD card reader is seated properly.
@koselillo download files I shared in description, navigate to github pages for atmosphere/hakate then update my files with the corresponding folders inside the zip folder.
So I actually installed the chip today (I didn't solder it correctly so I have NO clue how its working properly (I'll fix it eventually), but I've made it to the partitioning point and instead of my files being automatically backed up and restored, I have to do it manually. I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for, so I just saved my screenshots and images, but do you think everything will still work properly if it formats the sd card with all of the mod stuffs on it? I guess I'll be the one letting you know, but any info on manually "SD UMS"ing would be fantastic. Also, thank you for these tutorials! They were amazing!!
Hey so when you partitioned the SD card this is creating a fake Nand basically to run the firmware off the SD card rather than the Switch. So your files if you had anything saved on your SD card from your non hacked switch should still be there so as long as you have a card bigger than 64 GB because the partition takes up 30GB ish. Backing everything up is done by USB C to your PC as well, so when you watch the part about backing up your name and other files you need to connect your switch to your PC to copy this over which is approx 30gb as well alongside your keys and screenshot etc. I hope that all makes sense written out, also you're welcome.
@@DNAMobileGaming actually that does make sense! but now theres a new issue.. I ended up resoldering the resistors just to see if it’d make a difference, and I still end up with the same issue. Once I try to load the cfw (emummc), the screen goes black and nothing else happens. same with cfw (sysnand), but the stock sysnand launches with no problems. any idea?
@@DNAMobileGaming I did, and I thought I replied but I suppose not? It’s because the version of hetake that you’ve provided is out of date, all it needed was an update !
@@bojay_bis it because you were on version 18.1.0? I’m about to get my switch modded using the chip and I’m trying to find a video/tutorial that will work. I see a lot of people say just use the updated version of atmosphere and hetake or you’ll run into problems. So do I just use the updated versions of hetake and atmosphere and put those on the root of the SD card instead of the ones on the video? Will that work.
Hey, I have a V1 Switch and followed your setup, When i launch CFW (EMUMMC) I get: Unkown pkg1 version HOS version not supported or corrupt. and a yellow screen when loading stock(SYSNAND) or CFS(SYSNAND) I did already load the new atmosphere / hekate version from github. Is there a known fix for my case?

Can you help me with something? I have difficulty fiding the correct answer to to where solder the wires that come from the console. RST, Clock, dat0, etc the pico fly chips have the pi out for the wires like A, B, C, D, 3.3v. what's the correct wire instalation?
for some reason whenever i try transfer the backup to my PC it goes most of the way and then tells me that there's not enough space, when there is definitely enough space on my drive, like 300 gbs of space.
I get this error after trying to launch emummc can anybody help? Error while loading fss0: atmosphere/package 3 Wrong ini cfg or missing/corrupt files! Failed to launch HOS!
This is the latest firmware I don't have anything higher nor does it need anything higher at this time however you do need to update the firmware files if you're on a later version of your switch.
I have used the rcm method but i want to install a mod chip so i do not have to inject the bootloader everytime i restart the console. Can i just use my current SD card after the installation of the mod chip? So far i could not tell any differences between this setup and the one ive already made :)
The RCM method only works with the V1 Switch that isn't patched, this is hard modded meaning you don't need to connect it to your pc or anything it just works off the Pico chip.
New versions of Hekate and Atmosphere was released, I updated both to your "All Files" directory. And I noticed that "Bootloader" and "Config" folders were not updated and pretty much untouched. Does this need to be updated too?
@@DNAMobileGaming Yeah that's what I meant, I went to the 2 links you provided in the description and updated both Hekate and Atmosphere. I did some research and realize that I also need to update the sigpatches too. I found the newest sigpatch else where but now I see that people have 3 bootloaders (something toolbox), it appears there are millions of ways to setup everything. Do you think you can make another video for 18.1.0? All the AIO sites that I found are all taken down already... Also, after looking into your hekatepl.ini I noticed that it's from the DeepSea AIO from Team Neptune. Should I just use that for the time being?
You can connect to the internet just need to set the DNS settings to block the Nintendo Servers however you can't play online games this way but you can still update games and firmware etc. Any games I want to play online I just switch back to Stock FW it's not that hard but most games I don't really play online so it doesn't affect me.
Hello, I have a problem. I have a 256 GB SD but when I put it in the OLED switch, it does not recognize the boot. Note that I put the latest version from your page. but if the switch recognizes it, I have it in FAT32
Got a new SD card so doing this process over.. For some reason, I'm stuck on "checking for available free space" when trying to backup the eMMC, but works on the old and smaller SD card. Any idea why?
Do you have free space on your SD card? Did you try formatting the SD card before using it? I just did a video about 18.1.0 but it won't be released until next week and everything worked fine with my 256GB micro SD so not sure about that error.
@@DNAMobileGaming The new SD card is formatted, I think it may just be that it's defective since it is very very slow. The old and smaller SD card works fine. Will update when I receive a replacement
@@DNAMobileGaming so I got a new SD card and it seems like the one I returned was defective. I simply cloned the small one I had onto the bigger one and sized the partition accordingly. Everything is good now, thanks for the help.
The stock and sysnand are conflicting on each other when i download something on sysnand it goes to stock also how do i prevent them fusung or merging?
Thanks for your Tutorial! Followed everything on a OLED Switch. But when starting custom firmware the first time it shows fatal error on Program ID: 010041544d5300000. Any clue how to get rid of this?
Yes you need to update everything, remember you're running the emunand off the SD card technically. I've done a few 18.1.0 Switch's and I explained what needs to be done in the pinned comments and description. Hope that helps.
@@DNAMobileGamingthanks for your answer! Really appreciate it! Do I need to update everything from scratch or is there only a new Hekate etc. necessary?
@Febmaster so what I've been doing. First I follow my own guide which is this one. Then I make sure to check that all files are on the SD card still from the files shared. Then I copied the updated Hakate/Atmosphere and booted CFW.
@@DNAMobileGamingthanks a lot! Finally it is working after updating the files with latest Hekate 6.2.1 and Atmosphere 1.7.1 and running the archive bit fixer in Hekate.
Finally I managed to get RetroArch running and tinfoil installed. For this I needed to update the SigPatches, updated fugee.bin in the bootloader folder and also added a new bootentry for Atmosphere CFW into hekate_ipl.ini containing [Atmosphere CFW] payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee.bin icon=bootloader/res/icon_payload.bmp After that I rebooted into Atmosphere via the newly added start button with fusee payload.
I have Switch Lite with 18.1.0. Will adding modchip to it allow me to load up hetake? I have ordered one from AliExpress and its suppose to get delivered in few weeks
Just use the files I shared for setting it up, then follow this to update the files for 18.1.0. I only have the 18.0.1 as of right now but it's easily able to be updated if you follow how on the GitHub repository. github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases/
@@DNAMobileGaming Cool. Also, I have 64GB card so I have seen in some videos that they make partition of only 12GB. Is it safe? or full 29GB Partition is required? I only play few games at a time so 2-3 games is fine for me
Does this work for a Switch Lite and the folder/file provided... i have installed the modchip on my switch. And i just want to overclock it. I don't kno much so tutorials is my best friend... inside the folder does it has files for overclocking? Or i need to get that separately?
What do you mean? Did you install the chip? Does the no SD Card show up with the chip installed? I've now done 5 Switch Lites and 2 regular Switches using this exact firmware for 18.0.1 and 18.0.0. If you need more help I have Discord as well but the video shows everything step by step. I even use my own guides sometimes to refresh my memory lol.
@@DNAMobileGaming Yes, the chip works. The "No SD card" message shows up (if there is no SD card inserted). The Picofly is updated. Hardware parts was eeasy, software part of this mod it’s kicking my azz

Do you keep the game file after transferring it from your pc, because I don't want to make a copy of the game, is the software You can do the same for dlc download?
You don't need to transfer anything apps like Gold leaf can directly install to your SD card. Your card also doesn't get formatted to Fat32 on the partition is set this way.
Because I want to put NSP ROMs on the SD card to install them with Tinfoil, the problem is that if the SD card is FAT 32, you can't put files larger than 4 GB on the SD card. That's why I ask if I can also format my SD card to exfat when I prepare it with atmosphere
@Bari2000 just connect an external drive or PC and install them from there. I've done this with plenty of my game backups without having to transfer games to the card, install them, then move them back to my computer again.
Is there a way to open the homebrew menu without having to insert a gamecart? My mobo on my switch lite doesnt read game carts but hoping i can still salvage the switch by modding it.
@@DNAMobileGaming thanks! I was able to follow your guide and get everything installed. However, my date and time is wrong and won't let me use some of my apps. Any advice?
Hey I do have Discord regarding the program for overclocking I didn't share this with these because I didn't want to get into this too deep. It's easy to setup though with Sys-Clk just do some Googling though there's quite a bit surrounding this online.
Yes these steps still work, the only thing you need to do my files is navigate to the 2 links in the description and copy the updated folders of Hakate/Atmosphere into my main folder which will overwite and update them if you're on 18.1.0. I recently did another Switch and it worked perfectly.
Just an update i got these file to work I also updated the sigpatches and everything has been smooth till today I tried installing MK 1 and it cause an issue. It still loads into stock and apparently its some files in EMMc but I'm still not familiar with the files yet all I know is that after trying to install this the emmc doesn't boot. I get the unknown pkg1 and hos version error. Any chance you know where those games go the ones that load correctly from awoo installer ?
Yes to can switch back to stock everything is loaded on the SD Cards partition basically so if you take the SD card out your Switch will act normal when switching back to the SFW
Not sure what that would be, maybe you soldered something wrong. Double check that you soldered your capacitors correctly and there isn't any bridging.
@Powerboll if you're only 18.1.0, download my files then navigate to site below and follow what it says. You just need to copy the files to the folders they say on GitHub to update it
You can try the Sony brand I've never owned a Sony Micro SD card but if it's a good card that is SDHC A1V30 or better than sure why not. Just don't cheap out on the card you use.
Hello! I want to hack my switch,but my friend told me to buy only lexar sd card, because with other brands it didn't work out for him.Do you have any information about that, because lexar sd cards are quite expensive for me.
@@DNAMobileGaming so I haven’t got the understand much on this hack, with certain applications will you be able to download games for free or just dump games you already bought .
Well, let me explain my situation a little bit: 1. My system is a V2, and updated to 18.1 (or something like that, I can’t check rn. But it’s a later version than yours) with no games, a completely fresh system/profile 2. So I downloaded the Hekate and Atmosphére files for that version. (I only downloaded the top download on each github page). After extracting both of those folders, I only had five items as opposed to your eight 3. In the vid when you grabbed the two payloads, nothing shows up on mine. So I skipped that part. Then, later in the vid when those parts would show up, nothing showed again. But I thought, based on some comments, that that was just because I had no games yet, so I ignored it. Now, everything up until actually launching seems to have worked fine, but now when I try to launch it says something about missing bootloader for hekate. So what gives? Should I just restart, wipe the sd and try again, and do something different? Thanks for tour response and help!
@kerrybarneyiii1202 well that's why, I state in the description if you're not on 18.0.0 then use my files and update them according. I also tell you where to place the payloads after getting the latest versions. Hope that helps.
@kyledavis912 v18.1.0 is the latest version of the Switch. All you need to do if you're doing this with 18.1.0 NOT 18.0.1 (which is shown here) is use my base files shared then copy the latest version of Hakate/Atmosphere overwriting the old files in the corresponding folders.
@@DNAMobileGaming I'm aware of that but what I meant was that I followed the intructions for updating to the 18.1.0 since that is the version on my switch at the moment and have been getting error codes nonstop. I was following the instructions you gave on some of the commenters having the same issues. Thanks for the reply! Been watching your videos lately; hopefully there's a fix for this soon.
Oh okay, so what you need to do first is update the firmware files. Load them into the Switch. Follow these steps and it'll work. I've tested it with a few devices I recently hacked.
@@DNAMobileGaming Lexar SD cards, FAT32, 7-zip, RP2040 chip. I have tried deleting/updating atmosphere and bootloader. During the process, I even connect to the PC to make sure the files are still in there before I boot. I have tried booting with CFW SYSAND and emuMMC and the error code pops up after showing the "Nintendo Switch" logo. It shows me all the boot options shown in Hekate as seen in the video so it's fine up to that point at least. I have watched more than 5 RUclips tutorials and nothing. Followed every single step. I had a clean Switch, no existing files, no themes, etc. Read a bunch of forums.... no luck. I'm offering a $20 bounty if anyone can fix it lol
@@DNAMobileGaming Hey man, quick little update: pretty sure my switch got bricked for some reason; don’t know if it was software or something shorted.

I attempted the exploit again but used the HATS pack, a different switch, and an older version of switch firmware and everything is working with this one. Thanks for trying to help me out with the other one; it’s a shame that I couldn’t fix it with anything but at least I have one that works now. Thanks for your videos!
I don't know if I'm wrong or not... I tried downloading latest atmosphere version and paste all the folder inside my switch sd and it worked.. I guess the atmosphere version is not compatible with the 18.1.0? But now Tinfoil "can't start software"
This is for 18.0.1 not 18.1.0, but yes all you had to do is copy all the updated versions of Hakate/Atmosphere overtop of my files shared. Then follow the steps, you also need to get the latest version of Tinfoil, it's super buggy though with 18.1.0 I find.
Followed every step but when i go to the launch they said "No main boot entries found Check that bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini has boot entries or use More configs button for more boot entries" Any idea how to fix this ? Edit: wait i fixed it now

Does this work with a hwfly picofly raspberry pi 2040 rp chip and OLED Switch?
@@MethodMan- this is the hwfly pico switch chip.
Is the sd card format fat32 or exfat? Ive seen conflicting information on which to use; fat32 is preferred for stability but doesnt let you install games over 4gb or something? Im guessing that means youre using exfat since mario kart is nearly 7gb?
Any advice would be appreciated, your guides have been super helpful so far. Thanks.
The SD card partition gets automatically formatted to Fat32 otherwise the system won't read it.
Hey, ive been trying to figure it out for 2 days already but when I put all the latest files for atmosphere and hetake into the root of my switch sd card the switch doesnt boot into hetake and just says no sd card. Im not sure what i did wrong maybe the sd card reader?
If you put the files properly, tried a different sd card, and tried formatting your SD card to exfat, it could just be your reader. If you're doing it with a V1/2 Switch make sure the SD card reader is seated properly.
hi, i dont undertand the advise for 18 or above, im in 19 version, what should i hange? thanks!
@koselillo download files I shared in description, navigate to github pages for atmosphere/hakate then update my files with the corresponding folders inside the zip folder.
Nice
So I actually installed the chip today (I didn't solder it correctly so I have NO clue how its working properly (I'll fix it eventually), but I've made it to the partitioning point and instead of my files being automatically backed up and restored, I have to do it manually. I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for, so I just saved my screenshots and images, but do you think everything will still work properly if it formats the sd card with all of the mod stuffs on it? I guess I'll be the one letting you know, but any info on manually "SD UMS"ing would be fantastic. Also, thank you for these tutorials! They were amazing!!
Hey so when you partitioned the SD card this is creating a fake Nand basically to run the firmware off the SD card rather than the Switch. So your files if you had anything saved on your SD card from your non hacked switch should still be there so as long as you have a card bigger than 64 GB because the partition takes up 30GB ish. Backing everything up is done by USB C to your PC as well, so when you watch the part about backing up your name and other files you need to connect your switch to your PC to copy this over which is approx 30gb as well alongside your keys and screenshot etc. I hope that all makes sense written out, also you're welcome.
@@DNAMobileGaming actually that does make sense! but now theres a new issue.. I ended up resoldering the resistors just to see if it’d make a difference, and I still end up with the same issue. Once I try to load the cfw (emummc), the screen goes black and nothing else happens. same with cfw (sysnand), but the stock sysnand launches with no problems. any idea?
@bojay_b did you make sure to follow everything word for word?
@@DNAMobileGaming I did, and I thought I replied but I suppose not? It’s because the version of hetake that you’ve provided is out of date, all it needed was an update !
@@bojay_bis it because you were on version 18.1.0? I’m about to get my switch modded using the chip and I’m trying to find a video/tutorial that will work. I see a lot of people say just use the updated version of atmosphere and hetake or you’ll run into problems. So do I just use the updated versions of hetake and atmosphere and put those on the root of the SD card instead of the ones on the video? Will that work.

This is the latest firmware I don't have anything higher nor does it need anything higher at this time however you do need to update the firmware files if you're on a later version of your switch.
@@DNAMobileGaming Thank you very much my friend, for clearing up this big doubt for me.
My switch is not showing up on my pc when connected thru usb tools. to move the backups. Any reason why?
Check your windows drivers make sure there aren't any updates pending. You could also check your usb cable could be that too.
I have used the rcm method but i want to install a mod chip so i do not have to inject the bootloader everytime i restart the console.
Can i just use my current SD card after the installation of the mod chip? So far i could not tell any differences between this setup and the one ive already made :)
The RCM method only works with the V1 Switch that isn't patched, this is hard modded meaning you don't need to connect it to your pc or anything it just works off the Pico chip.
Great 👍
New versions of Hekate and Atmosphere was released, I updated both to your "All Files" directory. And I noticed that "Bootloader" and "Config" folders were not updated and pretty much untouched. Does this need to be updated too?
I mentioned in the pinned comment and description you would need to update if on 18.1.0 yes.
@@DNAMobileGaming Yeah that's what I meant, I went to the 2 links you provided in the description and updated both Hekate and Atmosphere. I did some research and realize that I also need to update the sigpatches too. I found the newest sigpatch else where but now I see that people have 3 bootloaders (something toolbox), it appears there are millions of ways to setup everything. Do you think you can make another video for 18.1.0? All the AIO sites that I found are all taken down already...
Also, after looking into your hekatepl.ini I noticed that it's from the DeepSea AIO from Team Neptune. Should I just use that for the time being?
And you you connect to internet or is emmc 100% off all time? Bc of tinf
You can connect to the internet just need to set the DNS settings to block the Nintendo Servers however you can't play online games this way but you can still update games and firmware etc. Any games I want to play online I just switch back to Stock FW it's not that hard but most games I don't really play online so it doesn't affect me.
I didn't get a title keys file for some reason, up till the step where you moved your backup folder out the switch
You'll only get those if you had games installed
What about storing the backup on the sd card? Providing it’s big enough. Is that possible?

You don't need to format the SD card.
Got a new SD card so doing this process over.. For some reason, I'm stuck on "checking for available free space" when trying to backup the eMMC, but works on the old and smaller SD card. Any idea why?
Do you have free space on your SD card? Did you try formatting the SD card before using it? I just did a video about 18.1.0 but it won't be released until next week and everything worked fine with my 256GB micro SD so not sure about that error.

Yes you need to update everything, remember you're running the emunand off the SD card technically. I've done a few 18.1.0 Switch's and I explained what needs to be done in the pinned comments and description. Hope that helps.
@@DNAMobileGamingthanks for your answer! Really appreciate it! Do I need to update everything from scratch or is there only a new Hekate etc. necessary?
@Febmaster so what I've been doing. First I follow my own guide which is this one. Then I make sure to check that all files are on the SD card still from the files shared. Then I copied the updated Hakate/Atmosphere and booted CFW.
@@DNAMobileGamingthanks a lot! Finally it is working after updating the files with latest Hekate 6.2.1 and Atmosphere 1.7.1 and running the archive bit fixer in Hekate.
Finally I managed to get RetroArch running and tinfoil installed. For this I needed to update the SigPatches, updated fugee.bin in the bootloader folder and also added a new bootentry for Atmosphere CFW into hekate_ipl.ini containing
[Atmosphere CFW] payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee.bin

Well, let me explain my situation a little bit:
1. My system is a V2, and updated to 18.1 (or something like that, I can’t check rn. But it’s a later version than yours) with no games, a completely fresh system/profile
2. So I downloaded the Hekate and Atmosphére files for that version. (I only downloaded the top download on each github page). After extracting both of those folders, I only had five items as opposed to your eight
3. In the vid when you grabbed the two payloads, nothing shows up on mine. So I skipped that part. Then, later in the vid when those parts would show up, nothing showed again. But I thought, based on some comments, that that was just because I had no games yet, so I ignored it.
Now, everything up until actually launching seems to have worked fine, but now when I try to launch it says something about missing bootloader for hekate.
So what gives? Should I just restart, wipe the sd and try again, and do something different? Thanks for tour response and help!

I have tried booting with CFW SYSAND and emuMMC and the error code pops up after showing the "Nintendo Switch" logo. It shows me all the boot options shown in Hekate as seen in the video so it's fine up to that point at least. I have watched more than 5 RUclips tutorials and nothing. Followed every single step. I had a clean Switch, no existing files, no themes, etc. Read a bunch of forums.... no luck. I'm offering a $20 bounty if anyone can fix it lol
@@DNAMobileGaming Hey man, quick little update: pretty sure my switch got bricked for some reason; don’t know if it was software or something shorted. Apparently the error code I was getting can happen with RP2040 chips. I attempted the exploit again but used the HATS pack, a different switch, and an older version of switch firmware and everything is working with this one. Thanks for trying to help me out with the other one; it’s a shame that I couldn’t fix it with anything but at least I have one that works now. Thanks for your videos!
Tinfoil 😏
What about Tinfoil?
wow what a disappointment site i Tried to click but An Error
Files are fixed I was cleaning up my database and must've deleted the wrong files. They're there now thanks for letting me know.
@@DNAMobileGaming your welcome
Do everything and got
A fatal error occured when running Atmosphere.
Program ID: 010041544d530000
Error Desc: std::abort() called (0xffe)
I don't know if I'm wrong or not... I tried downloading latest atmosphere version and paste all the folder inside my switch sd and it worked.. I guess the atmosphere version is not compatible with the 18.1.0? But now Tinfoil "can't start software"
This is for 18.0.1 not 18.1.0, but yes all you had to do is copy all the updated versions of Hakate/Atmosphere overtop of my files shared. Then follow the steps, you also need to get the latest version of Tinfoil, it's super buggy though with 18.1.0 I find.
Followed every step but when i go to the launch they said
"No main boot entries found
Check that bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini has boot entries or use More configs button for more boot entries"
Any idea how to fix this ?
Edit: wait i fixed it now
I've explained how to fix this already but haven't released a video because by that point version 19 will come out for the Switch.
How did you fix this? I lost all my files, added them back and still have this issue. This is the 3rd time I have tried to do this install. :(
Hi its me again i have changed some files to the newer ones just like u Said but when i first time going to cfw it Said this error

Hakate Works
Are you on 18.0.0 or 18.0.1? If you're on another firmware you need to update it.
@@DNAMobileGaming i am on 18.1.0
@@Powerboll did you copy the files in the link then navigated to Atmosphere on Github to update the files?
