v5.2.0
Latest HOS supported: 10.0.2
New in this version

Updated, improved and faster SDMMC driver
Faster and proper than before
Full error checking
Reinits to lower bus speed if failure
Supports 1-bit mode (you will get a warning in Nyx if that's the case)
Updated Display Interface driver
Initializes based on display panel
Checks if already initialized and deinits first
Adds Window D and Cursor Window support
Add boot time emuMMC selection
Using the emupath key in a boot entry will load the selected emuMMC.
This can also be forced by using the correct boot cfg storage bit and writing the path at the emummc path offset. Check readme for these.
The format is: emupath=emuMMC/RAW1, emupath=emuMMC/SD00, etc.
(ONLY works with ones created by hekate, as it depends on the raw_based/file_based files that have emuMMC info).
Check for HOS FS supporting SD card format
It disallows booting if SD card is exFAT and FS is the FAT32 only variant
Add emummcforce key
Force emuMMC and disallows booting if emummc.ini is not found or emuMMC is disabled
Add exosphere.ini parsing and CAL0 blanking support
Users are discouraged to enable that Atmosphere feature, as it is not yet validated as safe because of caching
exosphere.ini prodinfo keys are parsed during boot and applied automatically.
Users can choose to override them with cal0blank and cal0writesys hekate ini boot entry keys.
The value of these (0 or 1) will be applied on top exosphere.ini value and will effectively override it.
Disallow Auto NOGC in stock
Users can still force it with kip1patch=nogc

Additional changes:

Add EKS support
Improve KIP1 patching
Add Interrupts handler driver
New upgraded gpio driver with full configuration support
Exception handling that allows your to always continue

SD Card Partition Manager
Allows you to select up to 2 emuMMC + Linux + Android.
Any combo is allowed, even if you just want to repartition it back to one FAT partition.
The procedure is automatic on selecting sizes and offsets.
The tool is also able to backup your SD Card into Ramdisk and then get restored, if the total used size is less than 1GB. If you have more files than that, you will be asked to copy your files to your PC via UMS.
It also allows you to flash L4T Linux images and Android Twrp images.
The Flash Android can be also used to reboot into Twrp if a file to flash is not found.
Joy-Con Support
It acts as a virtual mouse fallback for users with broken touch screens

-Launch: Uses Launch screen as home screen
-More configs: Uses More configs screen as home screen
All of them support customized background bmp
Fix Archive Bits v3
The new version automatically fixes everything, without the need of 2 options
It's extremely fast, because now only changes what needs to be changed. Even if user has thousands of folders
Supports huge mods or texture packs that are split on FAT32.
(As long as the folder name has a 3 char extension. Exanmple: zelda_hd_textures.hts)
Add Color Theme support for highlighted text

Added Empty Battery screen on boot
This will show an empty battery icon if voltage is pretty low.
It will power off after 15s if NOT charging. It continues boot after reaching enough charge.
It can be bypassed with VOL- & VOL+. For more, read 5f142b4.
(Previously, if battery was less than 2800mV, the console wouldn't react - black screen - to a rcm injection.)
Fixed an issue where if sept folder was missing, hekate could not write itself there.
Some bug fixes

emuMMC

HOS 10.0.0 support
Based on m4xw/[email protected]

Nyx v0.8.7

Fixed an issue with LvGL that was making Nyx hang and corrupt text
Added touch panel HW testing, before allowing forced calibration
The touch IC fw has a bug that allows calibration to happen when the panel is defected.
That will eventually happen from HOS though when a touch fw gets updated...
Dump pkg1/2 tool now supports HOS 10.0.0
Add touchscreen initialization retries in case it fails.
Some bug fixes

v5.1.3

Latest HOS supported: 9.2.0

New in this version

Fixed an issue with booting CFW on < 7.0.0
A missing check was causing old versions to boot complete stock.
Fix issues with the usual sd card suspects when doing a warmboot based reboot.
The SD Card regulator is now disabled on HW init and re-enabled at the appropriate time.

Use the fss0experimental=1 key on a boot entry to enable it. For now it's only for NCM.
Support fatal context version AFE2
Add more Minerva checks, in case it is paired with old bootloader folder contents.
Support coreboot.rom chainloading that is not 1MB.

emuMMC

Fixed an issue with HOS 1.0.0. Based on m4xw/[email protected]

Nyx v0.8.6

Fixed all touchscreen issues. In Nyx and HOS.
In case you have the issue, you can boot Nyx while pressing VOL- and VOL+.
This will force a re-calibration of the touchscreen. (The tool version will come later.)
Fixed an issue with lvGL heap which was causing hangs
Fix Archive bit tool when filepath is bigger than 256 chars.
Allow canceling of emuMMC creation.

Notes
Check readme.md for more.
Lastly, keep an eye for the big Nyx update!
NOTE: You will need sept and a custom secmon and warmboot binary to boot > 7.0.0 or stock emuMMC.
NOTE2: hekate is now able to get sept binaries from inside a fss0.

v5.1.2

Latest HOS supported: 9.2.0

New in this version

HOS 9.2.0 support
Added support for parsing sept from fss0
Fixed issue with mixing older versions on L4T/Android
Fixed an issue where hekate would not honor updater2p key
Better boot errors communication
Better stability with BPMP clocks

Nyx v0.8.5

Added touchscreen edge offset compensation
Battery voltage now changes color and has a warning symbol if < 3.2V.
Better stability with BPMP clocks
Fixes for heap, lists and some others.

Notes
Check readme.md for more.
Lastly, keep an eye for the big Nyx update!
NOTE: You will need sept and a custom secmon and warmboot binary to boot 7.0.0-9.2.0 or stock emuMMC.
NOTE2: hekate is now able to get sept binaries from inside a fss0.
Warning hekate files: New bootloader contents are mandatory. Because they are new, you must not mix them with older hekate versions. hekate package is made for an easy drag n drop that can be used to replace the files.
Don't forget to drag n drop bootloader folder into sd card root and hit replace. No need to delete that folder first, especially if you want your configs and payloads.

v5.1.1

Added Atmosphère's system memory pool increase kernel patches
Now sysmodules have way more available ram
Added updater for update.bin and reboot_payload.bin binaries
update.bin is updated if old.
reboot_payload.bin is updated if old and if updater2p=1 key is configured (for now only manually via hekate_ipl.ini), it forces an update even if the current payload is not hekate.
Added hekate libraries error printing in order to inform user to also update bootloader folder
Fixed hekate main compatibility with old Minerva to avoid hangs on black screen when injecting
Some users forgot to drag n drop bootloader folder and replace files, which caused that issue.
Fixed an issue where users with bootwait=0 could not enter the menu

Nyx v0.8.4

Fixed an issue with about screen

v5.1.0

Full support for 9.1.0
Faster and better DRAM training
This performance change affects both hekate and Nyx.
libsys_minerva.bso was updated and the update is mandatory.
If you notice slow performance in hekate or Nyx, you forgot to drag n drop the bootloader folder from release.
Even faster HOS boot
Because of the aforementioned change, HOS now boots even faster.
Enabled Low Battery Shutdown when voltage is less than 2.8V
This will help with many users that kill their battery by forgetting their devices into RCM/AutoRCM.
Fixed an issue with some users hanging in black screen or logo for Nyx loading
This is unrelated with HOS boot issues.
Fixed a critical issue with heap collapsing on edge cases. Thanks @shchmue.
Additionally, heap management became more robust and fragments way less often.
Added support for entering fastboot on Android.
This requires of pressing VOL+ first and while holding it, also start holding VOL-.
External patches only look for patches.ini now
The reason is that patches_template.ini is now useless and no one should install homebrew when title replacement exists.
Also because apparently it confuses users into thinking that it takes precedence over patches.ini, even though it explained countless of times that it's only loaded if patches.ini is not found.
Lastly there's a confusion where users thought that empty patches is not the same with no patches, even though it's exactly the same. So now any empty patch will throw an error.
To sum up, removed to simplify the process because of user errors.
Fixed an issue with force shutdown timeout, where it would power off if PWR button was pressed for 2s. It's now back to 6s.
Fixed instant boot to menu ("bootloop") on errors. Now hekate will properly wait for user input in order to go back to menu.
Fixed an issue with tsec keys, where KFUSE didn't have enough time to initialize.
Fixed an issue where double defined patches (like NOGC), would fail the process. Now any reapplied patch, will be properly marked as applied.
Countless refactors and bugfixes in hw init and drivers
Many general bugfixes

New in emuMMC

9.1.0 support

Nyx v0.8.3

9.1.0 support for info and tools

Many general bugfixes

v5.0.2

Full support for 9.0.0
Fixed SaltyNX for emuMMC 8.x.x
There was an issue with fs mitm patches where it caused hangs for SaltyNX.
Add support for forced AutoBoot via id key - Android reboot
You can now add id=max7char to your boot entries and hekate can be instructed to autoboot via only this.
This will be helpfull especially with many Linux distros and Android (id=SWRANDR).
AutoNOGC protection for fatal errors in emuMMC
NOGC will now be applied automatically when fuses are >= 9.0.0 and emuMMC is less than that.
Streamline power cycles for Sandisk U1 SDR104
No more hangs because of this.
Fix CPU/GPU on warmboot reboot from Linux/Android
Allow critical info to be shown when a fatal error occurs while AutoBooting HOS

Fixed keygen for 6.2.0 stock and CFW
Fixed boot to 6.0.x/6.1.0
Fixed hang issues with booting HOS
These were created from cache coherency issues, or sd card fast reinit or stack corruption.
Disabled stock emuMMC until it's fixed
Check news at https://github.com/m4xw/emuMMC
Now if patches.ini is not found kip patches will be loaded from patches_template.ini.
Added a check that emuMMC is not loaded without custom secmon and warmboot.

Nyx 0.8.1

Fixed Nyx hangs on boot and framebuffer issues
These were fixed by fixing an issue with Touchscreen, a cache coherency issue, stabilizing framebuffer memfetch, and by fixing too fast reinits for some sd cards.
Migrate emuMMC fixes
It can now find more available existing partition based solutions.
Fixed an issue with migrating other sd partition emunand solutions.
Change emuMMC fixes
Fixed logic with button assignment
It can now also identify more emuMMC.

Fixed an issue where Nyx could start with backlight set to 0.
And general system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience. (For real..).

v5.0.0

Introducing Nyx v0.8.0
Nyx is hekate's GUI. Packs many features, like FastFS, emuMMC manage, customization, etc.
Look below for more.
8.1.0 support
emuMMC support
It supports disabling it by boot entry (emummc_force_disable=1), stock (not all fw ver support it) and many more.
Works with SD raw partition and SD file based. (SD file based is extremely slow. Wait for FastFS 4 emuMMC).
This version can sanely shutdown and also supports more SD cards than before.
Thanks to a collab with @m4xw , @SciresM, @hexkyz.
Supercharged boot times
Even with emuMMC or kip1 patching, it's faster than before.
Supercharged Backup/Restore with FastFS (Nyx only)
Backup and Restore is now orders of magnitudes faster.
Some examples (measured on a U3 SD): No verif: 9min, Sparse: 15min, etc. Even Full with hashes is extremely faster.
External KIP1 patching support
Now non-important patches reside outside of hekate binary. For now this can only patch KIPs defined in hekate's code, with whatever new patches. Next versions will support other KIPs.
Many bugfixes

v4.10.1

Reverted 204MHz SD device clock
Some U1 sd cards with Sandisk microcontroller misbehaved in this speed.
Some small QoL changes

v4.10

Full 8.0.0 support
Add brick protection for RCM patched units
(On a patched unit, if you enable RCM, you cause a brick that needs external eMMC programmer to fix.)
Add Exosphere panic report and save to SD
Useful to debug those weird colors.
Add status bar update when executing Fix archive bit tools
So you know that you have to wait.
Fixed a TSEC query timeout for 6.2.0. Thanks @shchmue.
Add support for AutoRCM on devkits
Battery "desync" fix is now applied on boot
Because of that, the entry in tools got removed.
Update FatFS to R0.13c (p3)
Cleaning and refactoring of GFX
Many bugfixes

v4.9.1

Cleaner Stock option via stock=1
Check the hekate_ipl template for more on how to use it.
Important bugfixes on eMMC tools
Fixed a 32bit vs 64bit bug where it was making verification fail. And also a text print misalignment.

v4.9

Support for parsing Atmosphere's Fusée Secondary Storage (FFS0)
Using "fss0={sd path}" allows you to parse kips, exosphere and warmboot from a fusee secondary binary.
Exosphere and warmboot are overridable if these entries are defined after that.
Additionally any extra kip can be loaded as before via kip1={sd path}/* for many, or kip1={sd path} for a single one
Warning: Don't double load core kips like loader, pm, sm and ams_mitm. The result will be a hang.
Support for split files restore Thanks to @emvym3two
You can now restore using parts or FAT32. The only condition it that all parts must be in the sd card.
It protects from fake sd cards, bad sectors and frequent I/O corruption. Aka, ~100% of cases.
Performance changes for Backup/Restore/Verification
Aligned buffers will now up the speeds by a lot.
Verification is now set to Sparse mode by default.
It protects from fake sd cards, bad sectors and frequent I/O corruption. Aka, ~100% of cases.
Change order of invoking sept
This is important, otherwise it can break tools like memloader.
Until a semi-usb init solution is found, hekate will show bootlogo and allow you to go to menu.
If >= 7.0.0 after that, it will run sept and then show logo again without a wait. For as long as rebuilding the boot process takes.
Smarter versioning for update.bin and sept payloads
Now it supports hotfix versions and it's still compatible with old hekate versions.
Sept is now updated via hekate's copy in IRAM. This negates the mandatory usage of update.bin and it copies always the most updated version.
Additionally if sept/payload.bin is found that it's foreign, it is renamed and hekate takes its place for running sept. After that it renames the original payload back and continues with booting.
debugmode is now obsolete for atmosphere. It's enabled by default.
Some nasty stack corruption bugs were fixed

v4.8

Full 7.0.0/7.0.1 support.
The keys are generated via Atmosphère's sept.
Additionally the sept/payload.bin, if found that it is hekate, it gets updated via update.bin.
Reboot to a selected boot entry via HOS hb
You can now force a boot configuration on hekate by setting the boot storage in the hekate binary.
This can be done via a homebrew, which sets the ini entry that is desired to boot.
Additionally force boot to menu can also be achieved. Please check readme.md for more
Auto NoGC
It checks fuses and applies the patch automatically if higher firmware.
It is now a global config and set on auto by default. (0: Disabled, 1: Auto)
Fixed a bug with ini list, where it would hang when using wildcard * with kip1=.
Quality of life fixes under the hood, that ease user's life.
As always many bug fixes and some refactoring.

Backlog from v4.6svc beta:

svcControlCodeMemory patches that helps dynarec on emulators.
Fixed sleep mode with debug mode when official 6.X.X secmon is used
Added RTC driver which now also disables wake up alarm when Auto HOS Power Off is used
Helps when users that use AutoRCM inject and power off pretty fast.
Fixed GPU on Linux when booting from warmboot
Added missing fallback auto calibration of sd cards and plus some small fixes.

Check readme.md for more.
NOTE: You will need sept and a custom warmboot binary to boot 7.X.X.

v4.6 svc beta

v4.6

Fixed sleep for downgraded units with efuses burnt more than required.
Fixed update.bin chainloading and also forced hw init on update, in case it changes again in the future.
This is a breaking fix and requires to have v4.6 to your modchip/dongle.
(Chainloading with old versions may or may not work. For that reason this is considered breaking.)
New archive bit fix
It can now also fix the Nintendo folder. No more "corrupted" sd when upgrading sd card or restoring Nintendo folder.
Fixed UART debug printing. Thanks @hyln9
Auto HOS power is now disabled by default. Probably, most people learned what it does and can enable it from the Options menu.
Some small SMMU emulation for TSEC fixes for the unluckiest out there. Max wait time remains small.
Many many many fixes and also added some error msgs for restore and boot options.

NOTE: Everything hekate related, moved to bootloader folder.

v4.5

Full 6.2.0 support. Many thanks to @nwert and @balika011 for their help!
-Supports Secure Monitor and new Exosphere
-Supports booting 6.2.0 with less than 8 fuses
-It has 100% success ratio
-Added support to "Print TSEC keys" and "Dump pkg1/2" tools
Fixed YouTube HDCP issue. Thanks @hexkyz for taking the time to investigate.
Every file lister is now ignoring hidden files and .dot files. Thanks @StevenMattera
The Minerva Training Cell library for hekate was updated to latest version (v1.1)

v4.2

Support "*" folder wildcard in kip1 key
Using <folder>/* can now parse and load all kip and kip1 files inside that folder.
Add option to enable/disable Auto HOS power off
If you don't use a modchip/dongle you may find this feature annoying. Options->Auto HOS power off to disable.
Allow canceling of the verification process
Now you can cancel backup and verification process. If backup phase is done, canceling in verification, will keep your files.
Some small bugfixes and support certain cfw on its stock version

NOTE: Everything hekate related, moved to bootloader folder.

v4.1

Full 6.0.0 support
Secmon/ kernel patches, FS patches, sleep mode, hw config, etc.
Improved .ini/payload handling
hekate_ipl.ini is no longer required and hekate does not hang on empty folders.
PWM backlight
You can now change the backlight brightness.
Auto full power off when the device woke up from HOS' power off
Usefull with modchips/dongles when using AutoRCM. (You can see it as a breathing backlight with hekate's logo).
Backup can be now cancelled when in the writing process (white bar), by pressing VOL UP + DOWN.
Self update chainloading properly checks for version number now to avoid uneeded loads.
Support payloads with broken/bad hw init...
Added ipatches info and dumping of patched/unpatched bootrom and ipatches
Corrected some hw config changes found in 5.x-6.0.0
More boot reasons and bootrom registers restores to normal
It now properly restores BCT on dev units from where it's supposed to.
Added warning message when the bootloader library for sleep mode is missing.
And many many bugfixes

Everything hekate related, moved to bootloader folder.

v4.0

Added Payload launching. Supports: All current CFW bootloaders, Linux chainloading and payload tools.
Use the new entry in Launch, Payloads. Autoboot is supported via inis to all payloads.
Added Ianos, our module support loading and launching. First module is LP0 (sleep mode).
Added support for split ini
They should be located to bootloader/ini. All cfw bootloaders, payloads and linux payloads are supported, along with Horizon files.
Autoboot support. Use the More configs menu in autoboot configuration.
Auto launch update for modchips. For users that do not like to always update their eeprom.
Add KIP1 patching support
Backup speed is now faster, by having bigger write speeds.
Backup folder now uses eMMC serial number.
AutoRCM now shows status and can unbrick all AutoRCM versions and types.
If sd card is missing asks to continue. No more accidental stock HOS launching.
Allow dumping of TSEC keys to sd card
Fixed display sanitization for all firmwares. No more white flash or black screen.
Fix critical bug to FatFs
Countless fixes and bugfixes
And many more..

v3.2

Fixed sleep mode for 3.0.0 - 3.0.2
Add status bar with battery info
Now you can always see your battery when into a time-consuming backup/restore.
Add background color support from bitmap's first pixel
If your logo is smaller than 720x1280, it will now use the first pixel as background color, instead of dark grey.
Add dumping of package2
Unset archive bit to all sd card files re-added
Now it does not touch Nintendo folder. Keep in mind that this can mess with some homebrew.
Fixed an issue with a non-working firmware launching when "Dump package1" was used before.
Changed partial backup message to inform about the sd card unmounting when in a menu.
Some small bugfixes.

v3.1:

Implement millisecond timer
This is a must and a very important feature, because we expect to use the bootloader more than 71 minutes (Backup/Restore). This has the side-effect of fixing a lot of stuff. Especially on SDMMC operations.
If you had problems with read/write/verify on eMMC or SD, the new version is a must.
Fix the verification code at last!
Another side-effect of using a 32bit ms timer (from the μs original one). Plus the additional fixes to variables that could not fit in u32 storage, makes the fix completely. Thanks to all the testers that helped to tackle these dreaded bugs.
Better redo that backup!
The Fusée patches for 4.X are now fixed
The sd files archive bit removal tool, now only applies to switch folder

v3.0:

Auto boot
with hekate logo or custom logo support
When enabled, press VOL- to go into the bootloader menu
Full Atmosphère support w/Exosphère boot
It can now properly boot through Exosphère.
Completely fix Backup & Restore Verifying algorithm
Better do a new backup to make sure.
Restore options
You can now restore your BOOT0/1, GPP physical partitions and all GPP partitions. Individually. Read the warning!
Configuration
Support configuration loading and saving
Add Battery charger and Fuel gauge info
Support styling in hekate .ini file
Add battery "de-sync" fix
Add Fix sd files attributes
Show battery stats in menu
Raise sd card power limit for faster transfer speeds
Update FatFS to 0.13b /w hotfix
Other features that I forgot. Check commit log
Countless (really!) bugfixes, memory leak fixes and general fixes

Warning: The restore options are DANGEROUS! Do not use that if you don't know what you are doing!No one is responsible for your actions!v2.3:

Sleep mode now works on 1.0.0-2.3.0, 4.0.0-5.1.0

v2.2:

Added Disable SVC verification for 5.X.X kernel patch (enabled by using fullsvcperm=1 in hekate ini)
Better support for SDR50 sd card speed (mitigates a T210 hardware bug)
Fixed a bug with scrambled tex
And many other bugfixes

Habe Hekate 3.2 und SX 1.3 (Firmware 5.1),
wenn ich unter Hekate "launch Firmware" auswähle erhalte ich immer einen Error.
(Wollte meine Logs löschen)
Weiß jemand, wie ich des beheben kann? Danke

***BiBo1994*** · Jul 18th 2018

Überprüfe doch mal die beiliegende config Datei. Hilfreich wäre auch die Info, um was für eine Fehlermeldung sich dabei handelt.
Befindet sich der ganze Inhalt des copy-to-sd Paketes von tomGER auf der SD Karte?

Santerino · Sep 8th 2018

HEy, gibt es auch eine Möglichkeit das ganze über Mac OS zum laufen zu bringen?

***BiBo1994*** · Sep 8th 2018

Du meinst einen Launcher am MacOS um einen Fusée-Gelée-Payload an die Switch im Tegra Recovery Mode zu senden?
Schau mal hier rein: https://gbatemp.net/threads/to…auncher-for-macos.502075/

Santerino · Sep 8th 2018

genau dass! Mein Englisch ist nicht das beste. Aber soweit ich es verstehe hat er den Launcher für Payloads rausgeholt?
Ich glaube es ist besser wenn ich einen eigenes Thema auf mache?!

das mag sein,aber gewöhnlich setzen die noch ein oben drauf
finde es dann auch i.O

SwitchGamerX2019 · Dec 6th 2018

Ich finde es auch in Ordnung, da ich nämlich meinen EmuNAND auf 6.2.0 updaten möchte. Bin auch ausschließlich SX Benutzer xD

Jetzt sollte ein SX OS Update für 6.2.0 nicht mehr lange auf sich Warten lassen xD

**muxi** · Dec 6th 2018

wäre mal interessant zu wissen, ob damit jetzt auch die Keys unter 6.2.0 ausgelesen werden können, oder ob dafür noch ein Update von kezplez-nx erforderlich ist. Aber ich kann das nicht testen. Das muss jemand machen, der auf FW 6.2.0 ist!

SwitchGamerX2019 · Dec 6th 2018

Das wäre interessant. Mit Atmo lassen sich diese Keys ja auch dumpen.

Support was added for system version 6.2.0; our thanks to @motezazer for his invaluable help.

By default, new keys will automatically be derived without user input.

Support is also present for loading new keys from atmosphere/prod.keys or atmosphere/dev.keys

Eine proprietäre Lizenz...
Ich finde, dass man das kritisieren muss.
Open Source so erfolgreich zu verkaufen ist eine Leistung. Keine gute.

Heakte CTCaer v.4.6 released!

Changelog:

Fixed sleep for downgraded units with efuses burnt more than required.
Fixed update.bin chainloading and also forced hw init on update, in case it changes again in the future.
This is a breaking fix and requires to have v4.6 to your modchip/dongle.
New archive bit fix
It can now also fix the Nintendo folder. No more "corrupted" sd when upgrading sd card or restoring Nintendo folder.
Fixed UART debug printing. Thanks @hyln9
Auto HOS power is now disabled by default. Probably, most people learned what it does and can enable it from the Options menu.
Some small SMMU emulation for TSEC fixes for the unluckiest out there. Max wait time remains small.
Many many many fixes and also added some error msgs for restore and boot options.

**muxi** · Feb 12th 2019

Pimpmasta · Feb 12th 2019

**muxi** · Feb 12th 2019

It checks fuses and applies the patch automatically if higher firmware.
It is now a global config and set on auto by default. (0: Disabled, 1: Auto)
