Hacking 4 questions about Firmware updating Switch?

[switchModBrick]

1.If I right understand: if I run Daybreak on my EmuNand, there will be no changes on the SysNand, so I cant brick my Switch?
2.Will there be burned any Fuses, I mean if this is the case, I would not able to boot my SysNand?
3.What is the newest Firmware, that is Safe to upgrade and can I use this Tutorial for it: https://www.sthetix.info/offline-update/
4.Do I need to update Hekate or Atmosphere?
Thank you

1 Everything you do n in EmuNAND stays in EmuNAND. Your internal NAND is not engaged.
2 You only burn fuses if you boot normally. Atmosphere will not buen them.
3 IDK that tut. IF you have an unpatched Erista you can update to the newest firmware anyway. Put the files on your SD. Run Daybreak. Follow prompts.
4 always keep hekate and Atmosphère up to date.

Sthetix is generally a good source, specially for mod chip installation stuff, but that video is 1 year old so not sure how up to date it is anymore.
Let me suggest to use this guide: https://rentry.org/SwitchHackingIsEasy

Also, I don't really believe there is any benefit from "not burning fuses", just keep both the sysnand and emunand updated and you'll have no issues. But if you plan to use only the emunand to play offline, then you're good either way.

Keeping your fuses is a personal choice. IF your fuses are on 1.0 for a potential cold boot... maybe. 3.0 for pegaswitch maybe.. 4.0 for Fakenews.. maybe.

1.0 cold boot will not happen unless a save game exploit for a launch title happens. Not likely SiresM talked about it in depth.

Pegaswitch is mostly useless. Your prerogative.

Fake news is nice. I ran it for a long time.

There are uses. You might not care but it's not your machine.

After updating my Switch with Daybreak and rebooting EnuMMC it stucks and shows the SwitchLogo for Minutes, what to do?

Did you have a theme? Backup and remove the folder SD:atmosphere/contents...
Or was it SD:atmosphere/titles

Lots of times it's a plugin.

No and I stuck at the Switch Logo, so Atmosphere booted

I looked at that tut. Never use premade packs like that. They aren't updated and often aren't complete

Shouldn't be a problem if you source firmware from Darthsternie, that is what I use. Is your card exFAT or FAT32?

Delete that folder. Lots of things live there. Its the first troubleshooting step. If you dont try the simple fixes first you you're being lazy and foolish.

Is it dangerous to try booting SysNand, I installed the Update on my EmuMMC, I hope that the SysNand dont try to install the update and brick

What are you talking about? Don't boot sysnand

Which folder should I delete?

 

[mikefor20]

If you're running EmuNAND it wont affect your SysNand

Atmosphere/contents back it up

Atmosphere/contents back it up

I deleted the whole folder SD:atmosphere/contents (after making a backup), now I get error code 2105-0584

Im curious is your nand a donor nand?

Yes it is a donor Nand

So if I boot SysNand there is not risk.
I just ask, not that the SysNand will install the downloaded UpdateData from the EmuNand

Looks like you need to do this but there is no support for firmware above 14.0.0.
