![]() This will wipe your switch user partition and reformat it, using the new partition data we created to give us the full size of the new USER partition. Now we need to go to the location where fat32format.exe is located, run an administrator prompt and enter Open windows explorer and copy all the files from the G drive onto your local machine, this is a backup of your saves and settings, do not lose this. Once the keys are verified, install the driver, and mount the drive to an empty drive letter. If you continue without opening the encryption you lose all your switch data. If you do not get a success message stop now, and double check/redump your prod.keys. You should see a message that the was successful and the encryption was opened. Take the bis_key_03 value from your prod.keys that you dumped earlier, and enter the left half on the top line, and the right half on the line below, then click test. You should see the 11 partitions listed here, click the USER partition we just remade, and you will see a prompt for encryption keys. In windows open HacDiskMount as administrator, click file and open physical drive.Ĭhoose your switch drive, ignore the error that it does not seem like a full emmc dump. Push the memloader payload again, connect the cable to your windows PC, and using volume and power mount the EMMC partition over USB. On a windows PC.Shutdown your switch and reboot to RCM mode. Now we need access to a windows PC with HacDiskMount and fat32format.exe. #If at this point you have any errors, or the switch won’t boot, go back and try the steps again right from restore your rawnand.bin, as if it wont boot correctly now, the next steps won’t fix that. It should boot normally into the switch OS, with all your saves and content preserved from before. Now you can unplug your switch, press the power button for 5 seconds to exit memloader and then press the power button to boot your switch. On a Linux Machine.Now boot into Linux, and open a root terminal. You will also need the memloader payload, to make the switch emmc be seen over USB by the PC, and also later on hacdiskmount from the same site for windows.įirst send the memloader payload to your switch as you normally would, the switch will show some text and offer options of what to mount. However since the drive is encrypted, we cannot just wipe it and remake it, we need to both expand the partition, and then format the partition inside the encryption to get the switch to see the new extended size.įor this process you need a linux PC/linux USB bootdisk (ubuntu recommended), and then a windows PC to open the encrypted partition and format it to FAT32. ![]() You should be able to load into the switch system, and all your data should be there, however the disk will still only show 26GB, like before, we need to expand the partition to fill the new drive. Once this process is finished, you can shutdown your switch, then try booting normally. This will take a while to copy over and then verify, get a cup of tea and come back later. The put the SD card back into the switch, and go to tools, restore, and restore boot0/1 and then restore rawnand.bin. where xxxx is a random folder name for your switch. Now remove your SD card and put it in your PC, copy boot0,1 and rawnand.bin into the backup/xxxx/restore folder. This makes sure your soldering was good and the EMMC is working. SoftwareOnce you have it all back together, then boot Johns custom version of hakate, linked in the above guide, and under show hardware, check that EMMC is detected. Then put your switch back together again, following the iFixit guide in reverse. I replaced the double sided tape too just incase. ![]() Remove the back, then the SD card reader, and then the shiny metal shield under it, then you need simply need to use a plastic prying tool to lift up the EMMC board, careful as there is double sided tape holding it down, and replace it with your new board. HardwareOpen your switch, i followed the iFixit guide. You need this to read the switch user partition from windows later on. This is a console specific key which you can get use lockpick, or biskeydump.bin from RCM mode and then opening the prod.keys file or similar on your PC. ![]() You will also need to get your bis_key_03. I recommend a 64GB+ micro SD here, so you get a nice single backup file, with plenty of space. Boot into Hekate, and under tools - backup boot0/1 and raw nand onto your micro SD card. PreparationThe first thing you need to do is make a full backup of your current EMMC. I will also assume basic Linux Knowledge, I won’t go over making a Ubuntu Live USB, etc, but trust Google to help if anyone gets stuck. There are great switch CFW setup guides out there already if not so I suggest you read them. I will also presume you understand switch CFM, RCM, payload sending etc, and have a working hekate SD card.
