Thanks to Candy for providing the guide details & images. Loosely based off of NH Switch Guide.

What you will need:

  1. Make sure your sysMMC is up to date. If your sysMMC is not up to date, update it through System Settings.

  2. Boot your Switch into RCM.

  3. Using a Payload Injector, such as TegraRcmGUI or fusee-interfacee-tk, inject the TegraExplorer.bin Payload (like you would with Hekate).
