WARNING: (Apparently) Tinfoil (formerly DZ) has a bricking bug. Be careful! (2024)

@BATMAN- Yes!

When I start Tinfoil, I get a message that masterkey 6 is missing. In addition, I also get an error message during the installation "NCA signature verification failed" The installation I have tried with SX OS via USB with a memory stick at the docking station. FW 5.1.0 - tested game Dark Souls RM. Any Ideas?
By the way, the same installation under n1dus ran smoothly

Tinfoil DZ will not install modified NSP's unless you enable "Install Unsigned Code" install option. This is because NSP's should not be modified, and modified NSP's could contain brick code.

Yes that is really annoying the installer has had this issue since day 1 TX know about it and they have not fixed it their opinion is the sx installer installs correctly others don’t this is why it flags up on a check but I won’t use it because of this I don’t think it’s right. If an nsp fails an integrity check then I would say it’s wrong whether it works correctly or not! I don’t know of any other nsp installer that recreates this error apart from the sx installer.

Would you mind sharing what installer you are using in combination with sx os? Would be much appreciated

No problem I do use dopus & n1dus with my own homebrew nsp, it works much better than sx installer straight off the main switch menu and they both have a much better way of installing nsp, x to save to nand or sd card and deletes the nsp of the route after install. I will post both homebrew nsp’s up soon as I can here I just need to make a couple of changes and repack them I will do it just install one of either with sx installer first but don’t delete go back into your homebrew nsp you just installed and then reinstall both again fully. You can check the integrity of your nsp installs in system settings and they will all check out good.

btw, do you know how to enable install unsigned nsps? I couldn't find out in option menu. Thanks.

life hack !!!
how to dont give a sh*t about bricking your system ?
USE EMUNAND

its unbeliveble for me, that some people making experiments on NAND. you should always use emunand, when something happend you can just delete emunand and create a new one.
NAND stays then untouched
cheers

How’s this thread still open? It doesn’t brick anything.

Isn't it kinda obvious? The mods here are clearly bias and aren't really that bright.

Which I guess you can now delete issues on GitHub? WTF?

Why would you not be able to erase issues, if you couldnt it would be full of scams and bs recruiters.

Someone brought brought the post back to life, no clue why lol. I made is 100% clear it was speculation, did the proper testing, and updated OP with proper information, on the same day.

You weren't able to erase issues on GitHub for a loooooooong time, I was more surprised then angry, I 100% agree you should be able to delete issues, gets rid of all the BS and fake issues such as the one in this post.

If people can't read OP, and see this was a warning, even by just looking at the title, they have no business modding their damn switch.

That sounds really good - thank you so much for taking the time and responding to my question. Am I right that dopus and n1dus install nsps and automatically skip the firmware requirement? Also it is ok to use exFAT in combination with either dopus and n1dus, right?

Heard is a few different Tinfoil apps which ones the best current one?

The scene toxic in here killed all the installers. None of them is still here to be discussed. That's sad.

I heard the original author of tinfoil stopped developing it and taken over by xorplay. Goldleaf is the new name.
