Tutorial How to upgrade Firmware 15.0.0 without burning fuses

[DorianX]

Atmosphere and Daybreak.nro will be used to upgrade ​

In this tutorial I will show you how to upgrade to firmware 15.0.0 without burning fuses.
I made an ALLinOnePackage rar file . It contains everything you will need. i.e { sigpatches, fuseeprimary, hekate bootloader, Daybreak homebrew app and even the FIRMWARE file} you DO NOT NEED TO look for sigpatches. they are included already


This tutorial will be made with the safest method possible. Daybreak.nro i will NO longer user ChoidjourNX. in other words the file you will download will only be compatible with daybreak.

How to prepare for the update : DO NOT Proceed if you havent done this
1) make sure you uninstall any themes you might have installed with themeinstallerNX BEFORE proceeding ahead. if you havent installed any themes go ahead without worries.
2) if you have a game cartridge INSIDE your switch take it OUT.
3) If you have any tesla modules or cheats well disable.
4) Remember: I test this on my own units first. before I provide any files. I use the most stable versions .

on with the tutorial below​

You should be in the newest firmware congratulations



I tested and all games and homebrew app working fine.


NOTES:
IF you want to play game cartridges your sysnand and emunand have to be in the SAME FIRMWARE VERSION

Does version 15 bring any new features to the Switch?

Does version 15 bring any new features to the Switch?

- The location of Bluetooth Audio menu within System Settings has moved.
- Screenshots can be taken using the Capture Button while in the Nintendo Switch Online application found on the Nintendo Switch HOME Menu. (Note: Video capture is not supported)
- General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience
Nintendo Switch Firmware 15.0.0] Nintendo appears to have focused on the OS internals for this update.
- Handling for Ethernet adapters was moved to its own dedicated OS module.
- Pro Controller Bluetooth firmware was updated.
- Various error messages were added / changed.
- A pop-up was added for attempting to exceed the max headphone volume while the limiter is on.
- Bad words for Mainland China were updated.
- The time zone database (zoneinfo) was updated to the latest from ICANN.
- Text related to Australian + NZ privacy laws was added.

In other words. if you rather wait for another firmware its fine. you do not need to update.

Thanks for all the help and work. Recently upgraded to 256GB and it borked all my installed games and instead of trying to update myself I just used this to save time and less trouble.

Is Atmosphere 14.0 in the rar file the pre-release or the offical release?

Note: The following was changed since pre-release:

• A bug was fixed in fusee that would cause a black screen when booting with nogc patches on and exFAT-supporting firmware installed.
• A bug was fixed that could cause the gdbstub to report the wrong file/module name when debugging homebrew.
• hbl was updated to version 2.4.3.

 

[DorianX]

I used pre release.
full release will be uploaded in a bit

 

[ipavoyager]

Was the full release uploaded? Thank you again!

Hi all,

I've just updated my switch from 13.xx to 15.x firmware today. I've followed the procedure exactly as described on this tutorial. I don't now why, but i can't get the Switch booted beyond the Atmosphere start-up screen.

I've MacOSX 13 and I'm inserting the payload fusee.bin through the following websites https://fusee-gelee.firebaseapp.com/# or https://webcfw.sdsetup.com/#. The switch boots up., but only until the first Atmosphere boot-screen and continues after 1-2 seconds and the screen stays black afterwards. Can somebody please help? Thanks a million!

Hi, do you have any cartridge inside? I was having a similar problem after putting mine back in until I configured atmosphere

Hi Philltery,

I have no cartridges installed. There seems to be something wrong with the fusee.bin file. I've downloaded the AllinOnePackage.rar provided by DorianX (Administrator). My Nintendo Switch boots until the Atmosphere screen and goes black after that.

I read that there is a bug-fix related to the switch not booting with a black screen (release notes -> Atmosphère 1.4.0). A bug was fixed in fusee that would cause a black screen when booting with nogc patches on and exFAT-supporting firmware installed.

I applied the following workaround to get my Switch fully working again!
#1) Copy the content provided in the AllinOnePackage.rar to your SD card.
#2) When your Switch needs a cold reboot you need to use the fusee.bin from the github page (https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases) instead instead the file provided in the AllinOnePackage.rar package.

My Nintendo Switch now reboots as normal and I can plays all my games again!

I hope this help you or anyone else when the Atmosphere black screen issue(s) occur.

Yes, you just need to change the push file to Fusee on your RCM loader, and set the loader to Atmosphere.

Hi Dorian

Thanks for the awesome guide and resources again!

I've just updated my firmware as the new Kirby game wasn't transfering with Awoo like other games have before. However on 15.0 it still had the same problem. I read online that it might require 15.01.

Your AllinOne app on the SD card has a feature for rebootless update of firmware and gave me the option of 15.01. I've just started the download using your app on my switch. Will 15.01 be safe to install do you think? Or will I need a new payload?

Thanks in advance.
