Switch on 6.1 awaiting SX Pro kit

[Nickoy]

So... I have not updated switch as read the warning about sx os not booting up after the latest 6.2.0 update. I have a brand new 256 gig sd card. Never used in switch. What’s the best way to back up my nand to a fat32 sd card. I won’t be able to use exfat with out updating which I obviously can’t do. Thanks for any help or assistance on this.

So just so im clear installing teh 6.1.0 firmware with choidujournx when i am already on 6.1.0 wont cause me any problems.
I dont have a nand back up yet as want to do this once i can use exfat so it is all created as one file.

Many Thanks for any advice or help.

your better off doing a nand backup on a fat32 anyways, as it seems to be safer... i did 2 backups one in fat32 and one in exfat... exfat came out corrupted when i restored my nanad, im glad i had that fat32 version which worked like a charm.

Just my 2 cents

Hello, Thankyou for replying. Im very new to this. Any chance you could outline the basics of what to do. Which method you used and how you joined the files together.
Many Thanks Nick

Put sd card in switch and format with settings menu. (since you don't have exfat update it will be fat32)
Remove and use computer to copy boot.dat file downloaded from xecutor site
Insert card and boot to OFW (you need to charge sxPRO by plugging in switch and waiting till it lights up)(they have capacitors that drain over time so this may be needed again next time)
You can either get license online or offline and copy to card(tutorial on site)
Power off completely and insert jig and sxPrO
Press power while holding Vol up...keep holding Vol up and it will boot to a TX menu(holding Vol up only needed to get to TX menu)
Goto options make Nand backup(mutiples)
Remove sd copy to computer ,mail,cloud,etc
Reboot to TX menu, Options Emunand and install Emunand
Reboot..Auto RCM will be turned on (you can turn off in TX options)
Verify Emunand in Album it will say emunand on top right
Using ChoiDujourNX update system to 6.1 exfat (this is 6.1 including the sd update )
Not as important but you can also make a copy of Emuand to use on other sd
Install nsp or xci and play
