I was blocked... Again

Hello everyone! Firstly I come with a small bit of good news! TegraExplorer-Ext 4.2.2 did silently change one (significant) thing with the script. (annoyingly the version didn't change, they just reuploaded the binaries). The DeviceSettings save is now preserved! Which if you remember was one of the problems this script had over the original. Now, this is one of the original issues it has. We still have quite far to go.

Now onto the thing I came for: A user on the HATS GitHub repo asked about these issues. Sthetix jumped in, claiming the script is "completely safe", "ensures you won't encounter a black screen". As the person who originally brought attention these issues, I attempted to reply to the user, and I really wanted some clarification: I have investigated this blackscreen issue thoroughly, and I cannot replicate what he is talking about. If there truly is an issue, I would love to investigate further and ensure its fixed without nuking the valuable reconstruction. I would have contacted him privately

Dangerous syswipe...

tl;dr: There is a dangerous syswipe script that comes with HATS pack, so it may be on your system already and appear after updates. Check and see if you have TegraExplorer version 4.2.1. If you do, it's highly recommended that you remove the payload (sdmc:/payloads/TegraExplorer) along with the sdmc:/scripts folder, and replace it with the official release. Known issues with this modified syswipe include unsafe battery calibration values (overcharging the battery) on Switch Lite consoles, and stock/OFW failing to boot afterwards on all models.


Hey all! Recently, I've seen more and more cases of people using a modified version of TegraExplorer’s syswipe script. With some investigation, this script originates from this fork of TegraExplorer by sthetix, and it is in his pack without most users' or helpers' knowledge. Below are the major issues wi
