^ I have a similar situation as you. Been out the loop for a while and now I've gone back to looking to update for the sake of it, but I'm not sure if SX OS is the way to do it since Atmosphere has since been released.
My SX OS is currently on 2.5.2 and Switch is on 5.1.0
Not bothered about playing online, just the new games.
I've read a tutorial and the first step was to ensure you can send a payload.
I used the paperclip method. and sent a test payload via Tegra.
All work fine after 10 minutes of careful tweaking of the paperclip. make sure you see first and last pin raise. They are small but you can see them engaged on the clip.
Oh is there a new device? I've got one of those jig's that came with the SX dongle.
I remember using ChoidujourNX to update to 5.1. But it's been rapidly update to 8.x now? Then I've read about blowing fuses etc..
But I think I've read too much into it all and it should/is an easy job to do!
Does Atmosphere have it's own frontend? like SX OS has.. So many questions, always the same if I've been away for a while and come to update, the scene has growth spurts and I'm left behind
I myself use sxos because atmosphere wasn’t out.
If I were you I’d get atmosphere cuz I’m a cheapass and I don’t care / like XCI.
NSP ftw! (No mounting and faster loading time, just like legit copies).
Not touched the switch in a while but was surprised at how easy it is to update to the latest official firmware with sx os and choidujournx and then used checkpoint to backup my saves.
Guys I just got a switch but I'm a bit confused with it as there are a loooot of instructions out there but a lot of it is outdated and I don't know what's what now.
It came with firmware 3.0.0 and what I did so far was use RCM to launch atmosphere and it works fine but I'm wondering what to do now in regards to updates, as there's nothing I wanna play that even runs on such an old firmware I think.
Let me know if I got this straight... 2 options
1) update using that one tool that allows you to update without burning fuses, then enable autoRCM forever as the fuses will be burnt if I ever boot into that higher firmware without cfw/rcm mode?
2) leave switch at 3.0.0 and install emunand (can I without paying for xecutor stuff?) and update there instead, which doesn't burn fuses? seems like the safest option?
Is burning fuses only relevant for a potential downgrade in the future? Can I just update normally if my switch is vulnerable to fusee and it will stay vulnerable?
what would you recommend I do to be able to play Fire Emblem? It needs 8.1 probably, right?

I looked around some more and found a fairly recent guide that suggests you can use hekate now to create an EmuMMC partition and boot from that, which is essentially a free version of sx emunand.
The guide doesn't mention anything about updating though so that's still an open question from me..
Once I'm running CFW on emummc, can I update that and my main OFW partition stays at 3.0.0 untouched? Do I need to use ChoiDojour to update when using emuMMC as well?
What about autoRCM, is that needed? What happens if I don't have autoRCM on, will it just boot into OFW with no problems and I can then reboot and RCM>inject hekate to get back to emuMMC?
Too many questions :-(
I just don't wanna fuck everything up by updating or installing something that breaks it all
My guess would be getting emuMMC up and running, turn on autoRCM, install choidojour and update to 8.10, then new games should run, right?
But if that's the way to go, then how do I get back out of that safely and back to clean OFW?
Likot Mosuskekim, Woodcutter cancels Sleep: Interrupted by Elephant.
Yeah that guide I mentioned in my last post was essentially the same thing
I updated emuMMC to 8.1.0 following that and things are working.
I know there's tons of tutorials out there but as I said earlier, some have conflicting information, are outdated, or just plain wrong. Guides from 2 months ago may be completely out of date and no longer accurate or the best way.
if you don't know this stuff yet you can't even tell if following that one random youtube guide will brick your switch, so I wanted to ask you guys here to be safe.
I still have unanswered questions but I'll figure it out eventually. thanks

Wich wooks at syscwock, a toow fow monitowing and adjusting the cwock speed of the Switch Tegwa hawdwawe. Wich was dissapointed that the new Switch wefwesh modews did not update the pewfowmance pwofiwes, even though the new pwocessow is capabwe of fastew cwocks.
(Wawning: ovewcwocking is dangewous to the hawdwawe, wiww invawidate youw wawwanty and may get youw softwawe banned fwom onwine sewvices and you may bwick youw hawdwawe.)
Wich wants to find whewe the hawdwawe bottwenecks awe. He notes that games push the siwwicone vewy hawd. He wooks at efficiency and heat genewation when the pwocessow is ovewcwocked. Wich is ovewcwocking and wunning the pwocessow at speeds that awe stated fow the Nvidia Shiewd Andwoid consowe.
Some games awe CPU bound, and ovewcwocking the pwocessow can wead to fouwty pewcent incwease in fwamewate, but ovewaww games stiww wun poowwy. Ovewcwocking the GPU makes wittwe diffewence in some games. Some games dispway smaww victowies, but mowe is expected fwom the incwease in fwequency. Many pewfowmance dwops awe uncweaw. Pewhaps it's memowy bandwidth. Mowtaw Kombat Eweven stiww stwuggwes aftew incweasing the GPU fwequency, but thewe awe significant incweases aftew the CPU is ovewcwocked. Vowfenshtain Youngbwood is an impwovement ovew pwiow wowk, but stiww has pewfowmance pwobwems, sometimes swight, sometimes sevewe and obtwusive. Ovewcwocking CPU and GPU yiewds smoothew pewfowmance and cweawew image fwom the dynamic wesowution system (not wadicawwy impwoved, though).
Wich awso measuwed the tempewatuwe of the pwocessow using its intewnaw sensows. Thewe was about ten pewcent tempewatuwe incwease aftew ovewcwocking the CPU and GPU fwequencies.
Wich wiww wook at ovewcwocking in handhewd in a fowowup video.
