FAQ: [Read this before asking a question] Q: I can't find my serial prefix on ismyswitchpatched.com [ismyswitchpatched.com] A: That means your switch is patched so the only way you could mod it is by installing a mod chip and changing the switches internal hardware. You could look at other TH-cam videos or check this subReddit for help www.reddit.com/r/SwitchPirates/ [reddit.com] Q: What do I need to mod my switch, equipment-wise? A: An RCM Jig, USB-C Cable, Micro SD card, and a Micro SD card adapter/reader. Check the description for links to those. Q: Can I get banned for modding my switch? A: Once you mod your switch you put yourself at risk of being banned. It all depends on what type of modding you do on your switch. If you do something like pirate full games then you'll have a high chance of getting banned. Also, if you want to use your switch normally with no mods running you can just restart your switch and your mods won’t be active. Q: I turned my switch off and now my mods are missing, do I have to repeat the whole tutorial process all over again? A: No, If you turn your switch off your mods will be inactive. All you have to do is use tegrarcm and the rcm jig to reinject your switch. Then select your emunand/ Fuse payload and your mods will be working again. You do not need to redo the entire tutorial again. You do not need to recreate another emunand partition. Q: Can I play online after modding my switch? A: Yes, you can play online with mods if you mod your sysnand. Q: How do I turn my mods off? A: Just turn your switch completely off. To turn them back on, repeat the injection process. If you want to leave them on, just don't turn your switch completely off. Q: Can I do this on mac? A: You can try using switch.exploit.fortheusers.org/ [switch.exploit.fortheusers.org] instead of Tegra, let me know if that works for you. Q: Can I do this on the switch OLED/Switch Lite? A: As of right now, you can only mod the switch OLED/ Switch Lite with physical hardware modifications. Q: Is there a way to view your album (pictures, screenshots, videos, etc.) with homebrew installed? A: Yup, hold R button then choose album. Q: What if I don't want to buy an RCM Jig? A: There's an alternative, which is using tin foil. It has a possibility of damaging your joycons but if you're interested I found this article: noirscape.github.io/RCM-Guide/ [noirscape.github.io] , or just look up other TH-cam tutorials. Q: Im getting Incorrect fusee.bin what do i do? A: If you’re having issues with the incorrect fusee.bin file the way to fix it is by manually updating your fusee.bin file by going to the atmosphere link I provided and manually downloading the fusee.bin file separately and replacing the existing one with it in your bootloader/payloads folder. If you're still having issues you may have a corrupted SD card . I would try reformatting it again. Then you should be able to run atmosphere properly. Restarting the entire modding process may help as well. Somewhere down the line you may have misplaced your files. I just uploaded a video on how to fix incorrect fusee.bin, check it out and let me know if this helps your problem. th-cam.com/video/jCGeCEbGu2k/w-d-xo.html [youtu.be] Q I keep getting "Hekate bootloader issue no main boot entries found" A: Your Hekate_ipl.ini may have been incorrectly set up. either but saving it as a text file or just incorrectly doing it. Please go click the rentry site and copy the texts there. Make sure youre saving it under all files type and as an .ini format. If you're having difficulties I have created a download link with the mods set up and ready to go in my discords group under the downloads tab. Q: I have Error: NOFAT Failed to mount SD card what do I do? A: Two possibilities, Your sd card reader could possibly not be mounted properly to your switch or Your sd card does not have a primary partition. If your sd card reader was working before you modded your switch then your sd card reader is fine. You will need create a Primary partition on your sd card and reformat it to fat32. Here's a site explaining how to fix this issue. www.diskpart.com/diskpart/format-sd-card-using-diskpart-0310.html [diskpart.com]

Same here, i came on here after a few years off from modding my switch. I needed to update the CFW and I figure this is the perfect content to get back into it! Thanks!
Literally the best mod guide on YT. Thank you for the update! The only I had with your guides is I couldn't get tinfoil to work, so I ended up using DBI.
thank you! yah my tinfoil video is pretty old and i was still really new to modding back when i made it, so that will be my next video to make an updated version for.
To everyone getting the yellow screen after trying to boot into EmuMMC/CFW Instead of getting the latest atmosphere, replace the atmoshpere files with the prerelease instead. It works for me and hopefully for you too. pls like
if anyone is copy pasting the default.txt file from the description, be careful! the servers that DONT have an * on them should actually have one on both sides, they just don’t show up in the description because youtube makes it bold text instead of showing them
@@eliaschabab2779 follow the written guide for all the files and links you’ll have a better time. Just google ‘ gitlab shise ‘ and trust me. Ive done two and it works every time.

If you're getting the "nyx is missing" error, skip the fat23 formatting step. Instead, insert sd card into the switch, allow the switch to format the SD card, then upload mod files, and reinsert.
I have spent 2 hours working on solving only this error. I have went through this entire process 3 times hoping I made a simple error and browsed so many different videos and forums only to have nothing work until I found your comment. I booted through the normal firmware and instantly was asked to format my SD card. I let that run then powered off and loaded all the files I had been adding before to the SD card now with just an extra "Nintendo" folder for screenshots. I did the rcm boot and payload inject and it worked. If anyone else is stuck like I was hopefully this ^ helps.
I had to do a double take because it's been a while since I've watched @KristoferYee on YT who does PC stuff and was like "Yoooo?!? What? No way!" but then realized you two guys are completely people. Either way you were just as entertaining with the content you make, keep it up! Definitely subbing.
Thanks for your switch tutorials! I think I’ve been watching them for a year now, useful for when I need a refresher or when I’m modding switches for some friends who don’t trust themselves to do it ❤ Congrats btw! Hope you have a lovely wedding ❤🎉
You’re welcome! I do the same ngl haha! I use my own videos as refreshers, I’m like dang it’s been a while how do I do this again? Then I just watch my own video lol. Thank you so much! I’m excited can’t wait for it :)
Nice! Guess I was just a bit late for posting it, but most tutorials do the same thing. I just try to show everything in great detail for beginners : )
YOOOOO KRIS! I have followed your vids for a good year and they have never failed me! I was honestly so happy to hear that you were getting married. I litterally said outlaid "YEAAAAA! THATS MY BOY!". anyhoo. I was wondering if the modding process has changed since the last jailbrak vid. Thanks for the amazing step by step vids. They have been so helpful.
Yo!!!! It honestly makes me so happy to read this! Just seeing how awesome and supportive you all are! Thank you so much! 😎 Yes!!! Haha I love that!!! Once we get our footage and photos back from our photographers after our wedding I’ll definitely share with you guys! If you’re already familiar with modding then this video is basically a recap of previous tutorials, just with updated files from the same sites I’ve posted in the past. This is just more of an in depth tutorial where I tried my best not to skip cut through steps.
this is a great modding video when it comes to modding your switch and very beginner friendly but most of the things a person would want on thier switch being ''free things'' needs another video and its easy to make mistakes great video nonetheless
I've followed all the steps in the video, but when the creation of the emuMMC was done and I tried to launch de Atmosphere CFW I got an error saying that the atmosphere/package3 was missing. So I restarted and enabled the usb sd to see if something was missing, and for my surprise my sd card only had 2 folders, the bootloader folder and the emuMMC folder. I think the partitioning of the SD card formatted the content of the sd card? But in this video I'm assuming that didn't happened? So I redid all the steps to setup the sd card with all the files again and when I tried to launch the Atmosphere CFW I got a yellow screen. Any tips on how to fix this? =/
Thanks for you help man. Mine had lost the jailbreak do to turning and whenever there is an update it is a pain but did everything you said and worked like a charm. Keep it up.
Love the tutorials. Any chance of you making a tutorial on overclocking? Been scrounging for a good updated tutorial on how to do and no luck. I appreciate it!
finally i made it after a few tries. if u encounter error such as writing or failed to create emmunand, try changing a card reader or adaptor. especially if your partition always deletes itself after error.
After choosing atmos to launch, it turned solid yellow and nothing happens after that.. I had to force shutdown the console. Then load the payload again and when choosing to launch atmos again, same thing happens. : 3 What did i miss?
@@willywanks3 got mine fixed, there’s a new atmosphere out right now, it’s still in its pre launch phase but you can still download on their website. I did that and it worked for me
When I launch atmosphere CFW though the launch option I get a yellow screen and when I launch the fusee.bin though payloads I get A fatal error occurred when running Fusee Unable to identify package1!
i believe that means it’s connecting to nintendo servers, which it shouldn’t be, double check and make sure your exosphere file is correct (if you’re copy and pasting from the description be careful, the ones that have no * actually have one on both sides of them, they just don’t show up in the description because youtube takes those and just makes the text bold, hope that makes sense/solves your issue
@@iAmKristoferr that's the plan. I've done it before and the pawn shop people look at me weird. I need an 11.0 PS4, PS3 slim lol I enjoy modding a little bit
Followed this and worked perfectly, however I cannot run my physical game cards while running atmosphere and have to go back to the stock OS. What's the fix behind this?
i did everything exactly as you did in the video but when i went to launch i got this message error while loading fss0: atmosphear/package3 wrong ini cf9 or missing/corrupt files failed to launch HOS! i dont understand i did everything exactly as you did
@@iAmKristoferr i was able to fix it. for whatever reason after making a backup all the files got deleted from the sd card so i just had to put them back in and launch and it worked
@@sk8oblaze oh yes definitely. Maybe that was my bad i forgot to mention to put the back up files back into your switch afterwards. :/ Thanks for letting me know maybe i can add that in my pinned comment.
@@sk8oblaze THANKS YOU SO MUCH!!!! I was in the same boat and yes the atmosphere folder was deleted for some reason after the BackUP, just needed to put them back in the SD card !
Hi Kristofer, do you have any insight/resource as to updating a jailbroken switch with an older firmware to 18.1, instead of a brand new mod? it'd be super helpful. any insight is appreciated. Thanks!
My bad if you addressed this Kris but Im having an issue connecting to the internet with my CFW. As you showed in the tutorial you had internet access when going into your CFW and I wanted to know what I did wrong. Thank you in advance!
Hi! Great video! There’s one thing I don’t quite understand: when I create a new SD partition and assign it 29 GiB, what happens to the remaining space? Which part of the console will use it-the original system or the hacked part? It would be really helpful if you could clarify this for me. Thanks!
Great tutorial btw, quick question. I have modded my switch again thanks to your video. Previously I used to do the rcmloader device. Not sure what android I would run before but I could dock the switch and screen would not turn black and show on tv. I dock my switch now when on android and black screen? Can’t navigate with Bluetooth controller? Is it still possible? Have OG dock station as well. Thanks!
I got on the hekate screen but I don’t have a firmware. When I tried to open fusee it says there is a fatal error. As soon as I turned off the switch and turned it back on, everything was reset.
hello Im brand new to the Siwtch community and ran across your channel, great videos and explanation. I am planning to get an OLED Switch; do you have a tutorial coming for the modding of the OLED? Cant afford $60 per game.
Hey!! I hope you’re well. My Nintendo switch is currently on version 17.0.0. Is this still doable with the steps your provided or should I find an older version of this video? Thank you!
it's still doable but I'm not too sure on sigpatches. youd either have to find 17.0 sigpatches or if the latest sigpatches work just fine even on older ones.
Hey, is it possible to make a video showing how to start fresh. I've got a modded switch but I kind of messed it up. I'm afraid deleting everything from the sd is not the right answer😭
two questions: i want to put wii games on my switch which is why im looking this up. does that work? also, what are the cons in doing this, like would i not be able to play online games anymore?
I have SXOS which is not able to play new games. Its hard modded can I use this steps to convert it? And what should I do with my existing games? Can I backup and reuse them again? Thanks!
Hi, thank you so much for the tutorial, I like it sticks to the written guide but also provides the visual. I have one question. My OFW is on the lower version (v16), but I would like to install Atmosphere intended for v18.1. Can I still follow this guide or do I need to first do the modding on a 'compatible' version of Atmosphere and then update?
Thanks man! I modded my switch version 17.0 last year thanks to your videos. But I have got some troubles now. I get my switch into the rcm mode but the program doesnt "find" it. It still shows "no rcm" I did the whole tutorial again and updated all of the programs but it still wont find my switch on the tegrarcmgui. Any thought? first gen Switch version is now 18.1.
SOLVED: Hi, I followed all the passages but then, while launching CFW, I got this error: Error while loading fss0: atmosphere/package3 Wrong ini cfg or missing/corrupt files! Failed to launch HOS! what can I do? Help me please It turned out that the problem was that my switch it's not version 18(it' 17.0.1) so I followed your older tutorial and got everything perfect. You're amazing man, very professional, I love your tutorials. Thank you so much!
Hey buddy I followed your video once I inject the payload im getting a prompt saying missing LPo And when it says press any button it's saying missing nyx and it's saying as well update bootloader folder can you please help me I've done it twice now my switch is definitely unpatched as I've done it before I wanted a fresh jailbreak onit
everything is great so far but it feels like you skipped some information once you injected the payload. do i need to keep my switch plugged into the pc? do i need to keep the jig on the joycon track? I just wanna know if there's something im missing or if im just stupid cause I cant get it to boot whatsoever

For the people wondering: there’s a free version that doesn’t require you to pay. It’s a different link and the file is labeled free
Where?
How about how to set up Auto RCM so that you don't need the jig anymore. Just a PC or a phone?
After choosing atmos to launch, it turned solid yellow and nothing happens after that.. I had to force shutdown the console. Then load the payload again and when choosing to launch atmos again, same thing happens. : 3 What did i miss?
same here!
did you ever get the fix for this??? :( I'm just now experiencing this issue! this sucks!
@@willywanks3 got mine fixed, there’s a new atmosphere out right now, it’s still in its pre launch phase but you can still download on their website. I did that and it worked for me
any fix ??
Why am I getting a yellow screen when I boot up atmosphere on the switch after injecting it?
When I launch atmosphere CFW though the launch option I get a yellow screen and when I launch the fusee.bin though payloads I get A fatal error occurred when running Fusee Unable to identify package1!
same bro - found a fix ?
Hi, I followed your guide and its happening Atmosphere Fatal error 0100000000000025 every minute after system start, what is happening?
I still get error any solution?
Same😊
i believe that means it’s connecting to nintendo servers, which it shouldn’t be, double check and make sure your exosphere file is correct (if you’re copy and pasting from the description be careful, the ones that have no * actually have one on both sides of them, they just don’t show up in the description because youtube takes those and just makes the text bold, hope that makes sense/solves your issue
sorry your default.txt file, not the exosphere file
thanks
I boot up Hekate, launch, then a yellow screen. Any ideas ?
I'm having this issue as well did you find a solution?
Followed everything, got stuck on yellow screen after launching at the end
Hey just format your sd card and start over. Follow the written guide. Google GITLAB SHISE and you’ll be fine.
Congrats on the wedding. Have children, they’re wonderful.
haha, Thank you! as for the children part, going to wait a few years before that happens
Awesome. Now i just need a switch. Need to find onr again. Ill check some pawn shops
That’s smart. Can always plug in the S/N on ismyswitchpatched when checking them out to make sure
@@iAmKristoferr that's the plan. I've done it before and the pawn shop people look at me weird. I need an 11.0 PS4, PS3 slim lol I enjoy modding a little bit
Best tutorial ever i love you!!!
When I press launch I get a yellow screen? 🤔
Congrats on your wedding!!!!
Bam done.... I was scare to do this but all ends well... Next up is your video on how not to get banned.... Thanks
the only tutorial that worked!
Well, good thing my switch is ancient
Can you look at the text you put in the description? I think there are a couple of lines missing for the exosphere text.
right. the text is wrong
oh shit congrats on the wedding
Will this apply to the 19.0.0 new update?
Yes it will
Awesome!! Thanks!!
ALWAYS! : )
Followed this and worked perfectly, however I cannot run my physical game cards while running atmosphere and have to go back to the stock OS. What's the fix behind this?
19.0.1 is out, what changed now from this guide?
Do not follow this guide for 19.0.1 you will basically have a useless modded switch with no games
i did everything exactly as you did in the video but when i went to launch i got this message
error while loading fss0:
atmosphear/package3
wrong ini cf9 or missing/corrupt files
failed to launch HOS!
i dont understand i did everything exactly as you did
Did you ever figure out how to fix this? I can try to help more
@@iAmKristoferr i was able to fix it. for whatever reason after making a backup all the files got deleted from the sd card so i just had to put them back in and launch and it worked
@@sk8oblaze oh yes definitely. Maybe that was my bad i forgot to mention to put the back up files back into your switch afterwards. :/ Thanks for letting me know maybe i can add that in my pinned comment.
@@sk8oblaze THANKS YOU SO MUCH!!!! I was in the same boat and yes the atmosphere folder was deleted for some reason after the BackUP, just needed to put them back in the SD card !
@@sk8oblaze OMG THANK YOU !!!
Hi Kristofer, do you have any insight/resource as to updating a jailbroken switch with an older firmware to 18.1, instead of a brand new mod? it'd be super helpful. any insight is appreciated. Thanks!
Congrats on your wedding 🎉
My bad if you addressed this Kris but Im having an issue connecting to the internet with my CFW. As you showed in the tutorial you had internet access when going into your CFW and I wanted to know what I did wrong. Thank you in advance!
Hi! Great video! There’s one thing I don’t quite understand: when I create a new SD partition and assign it 29 GiB, what happens to the remaining space? Which part of the console will use it-the original system or the hacked part? It would be really helpful if you could clarify this for me. Thanks!
Is there a way to jailbreak a 19.0.1?
After I injected my switch screen just stays black and does nothing.
please do one for 19.0.0 when the atmosphere updates comes!!
thank you bro u saved me
Glad I could help
Great tutorial btw, quick question. I have modded my switch again thanks to your video. Previously I used to do the rcmloader device. Not sure what android I would run before but I could dock the switch and screen would not turn black and show on tv. I dock my switch now when on android and black screen? Can’t navigate with Bluetooth controller? Is it still possible? Have OG dock station as well. Thanks!
Can put roms on sd card and play rhem on switch? Like xci and nsp?
I got on the hekate screen but I don’t have a firmware. When I tried to open fusee it says there is a fatal error. As soon as I turned off the switch and turned it back on, everything was reset.
Does this mod give you access to homebrew so you can download games to your switch?
Does this work on 19.0.0? I want to do this but i accidentilay updated my switch
hello Im brand new to the Siwtch community and ran across your channel, great videos and explanation. I am planning to get an OLED Switch; do you have a tutorial coming for the modding of the OLED? Cant afford $60 per game.
Hey!! I hope you’re well. My Nintendo switch is currently on version 17.0.0. Is this still doable with the steps your provided or should I find an older version of this video? Thank you!
it's still doable but I'm not too sure on sigpatches. youd either have to find 17.0 sigpatches or if the latest sigpatches work just fine even on older ones.
i think I've done everything right but when i hold power and plus then plug in the usbc it doesn't turn on but it doesn't say rcm was detected
Same here 😭
@@i_jordxn8061 did you guys found out how to do it ?
I like this dude
quick question is it possible to do this without a micro SD card or straight up nah?
Hey, is it possible to make a video showing how to start fresh. I've got a modded switch but I kind of messed it up. I'm afraid deleting everything from the sd is not the right answer😭
THANK YOU SO MUCH
two questions: i want to put wii games on my switch which is why im looking this up. does that work?
also, what are the cons in doing this, like would i not be able to play online games anymore?
Hey Kristofer!
Will this method work for switch lite with picofly modchip installed.
I know this is an older post, but when I launched Atmosphere CFW, it said, 'Failed to apply 'nosigchk'! ' Do you have any idea what I'm missing?
The messiha truly
😂🙌🏽
I have SXOS which is not able to play new games. Its hard modded can I use this steps to convert it? And what should I do with my existing games? Can I backup and reuse them again? Thanks!
Hey, i've got everything that I need to start up but there is a problem, can I still do it if my touchscreen don't work anymore ? (14:04)
Hey kristofer coole you make a new Video on How to Upgrade the Firmware Version Hause im still on Atmosphere 17.1
Hi, thank you so much for the tutorial, I like it sticks to the written guide but also provides the visual. I have one question. My OFW is on the lower version (v16), but I would like to install Atmosphere intended for v18.1. Can I still follow this guide or do I need to first do the modding on a 'compatible' version of Atmosphere and then update?
hey, the exosphere text in your description is missing the [exosphere] at the top
its also missing one other line. the one he copies is 11 lines the one in the text is 9 lines, 10 with the [exosphere] line. any idea what is is?
Question for sd card back up. The switch doesn’t put save data on the sd card, right? Just system storage?
Will I keep all my save data when doing this??
Thanks man! I modded my switch version 17.0 last year thanks to your videos. But I have got some troubles now. I get my switch into the rcm mode but the program doesnt "find" it. It still shows "no rcm" I did the whole tutorial again and updated all of the programs but it still wont find my switch on the tegrarcmgui. Any thought?
first gen Switch version is now 18.1.
Did anyone else think kojema was telling us how to mod switches?
Hey so question before I even start can I use a dock station? While it’s modded it sounds dumb yes but I really want to know
SOLVED: Hi, I followed all the passages but then, while launching CFW, I got this error:
Error while loading fss0:
atmosphere/package3
Wrong ini cfg or missing/corrupt files!
Failed to launch HOS!
what can I do?
Help me please
It turned out that the problem was that my switch it's not version 18(it' 17.0.1) so I followed your older tutorial and got everything perfect.
You're amazing man, very professional, I love your tutorials.
Thank you so much!
Hey buddy I followed your video once I inject the payload im getting a prompt saying missing LPo And when it says press any button it's saying missing nyx and it's saying as well update bootloader folder can you please help me I've done it twice now my switch is definitely unpatched as I've done it before I wanted a fresh jailbreak onit
I will get my unpatched switch in 2 days, so this one will still work by then? Just making sure loll
Yes, this will work still. The latest modding tutorial
Is there a video on your channel that show you how to update the tinfoil switch 17 to 18.1
everything is great so far but it feels like you skipped some information once you injected the payload. do i need to keep my switch plugged into the pc? do i need to keep the jig on the joycon track? I just wanna know if there's something im missing or if im just stupid cause I cant get it to boot whatsoever
nvm. i see that its just supposed to boot up once it gets injected. i did something wrong i guess
@@ikontheherocheck the switch serial in the system settings, I found out mine had a fake sticker on the shell. Got scammed by some ebay douchebag and got a patched serial switch thinking it was unpatched - thats why tegra kept freezing during injection
