How to Restore Your SysNAND on a Modded Nintendo Switch
In this video, I’ll show you how to restore your system NAND (sysNAND) using a backup created with Hekate.
If your Nintendo Switch has developed a serious system issue, this guide will walk you through the process of restoring your console back to a previous clean state using your NAND backup.
This process restores:
BOOT0 & BOOT1

Your full system firmware state
If done correctly, your console should boot back into official firmware just like it did when the backup was created.

⚠️ The restore process can take 20–30 minutes depending on the Switch model.
⚠️ Your Atmosphère and bootloader files on the SD card will remain safe during this process.
