Hacking Unable to Restore Tinfoil Backup After Incognito

[KreedM]

Sometime when the latest switch firmware was around 10.0.0 or 11.0.0, I activated Tinfoil's incognito. I'm currently trying to restore my prodinfo, but Tinfoil throws the error message "Failed to Write Backup Cal0" even though it also says "clean backup found"? I tried again after setting "allow_writing_to_cal_sysmmc" to 1 in exosphere.ini and only that, to no avail. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Ok, I figured it out:

What I should've done:

Put exosphere.ini in the root of my sd card .

What I did:

If in atmosphere/automatic_backups there is a "XAWxxxxxxxxxx_PRODINFO" file where the x's aren't 0, then you can follow the steps outlined in the second post of the thread named "How can I restore a console's PRODINFO from Atmosphere's auto backup file?" Sorry, I can't link urls...

I used LockPickRCM to get my prod.keys file which is then used in NxNandManager for steps 2 and 5 instead. I also used Hekate to mount my emmcRAW nand for step 2.

I'm not sure how I retained the backup even though I delete my atmosphere folder everytime I update my firmware. Perhaps it gets it from the same place tinfoil saved it to all those years ago? If anyone has an answer it'd be much appreciated!
