NANDFIX is outdated and not suitable for today's use cases. Users have reported numerous issues that will not be fixed here. You should use the newer, improved version instead:

USE NANDFIX PRO: https://github.com/sthetix/NANDFixPro

NANDFix Pro is the actively maintained successor to this project, with better support, fewer issues, and improvements designed for modern use cases. Please head there for all future use and support.

NANDFIX is a versatile tool designed to unbrick, rebuild, or upgrade Nintendo Switch consoles. It features a graphical user interface (GUI) powered by the EmmcHaccGen and NxNandManager cores, making complex tasks like NAND generation, decryption, encryption, and rebuilding straightforward and accessible. NANDFIX serves as a user-friendly front end, designed to reduce errors and streamline operations compared to using command-line tools alone.

• NAND Generation (GENERATE): Uses the EmmcHaccGen core to create NAND partitions and files based on the provided prod.keys and firmware version.
• NAND Operations: Powered by NxNandManager, these functions allow you to DECRYPT donor NAND partitions with donor.keys, ENCRYPT them with prod.keys, and BUILD them into a new, functional NAND.

Before using NANDFIX, ensure you have the following:

• Operating System: Windows 7 or higher.
• .NET Desktop Runtime 7.0.20: Download and install it here.
• prod.keys: Extracted from your console using the Lockpick_RCM payload.
• Firmware Files: Available from sources like darthsternie.net or sthetix.info.

Important: Make sure the NANDFIX application is in the same directory/folder as your donor_rawnand.bin.

1. Launch NANDFIX:

   • Double-click NANDFIX.exe to start the application.

2. Select Console Type:

   • Choose between Patched & Unpatched V1 (Erista) and V2, Lite, OLED (Mariko).

3. Select Necessary Files:

   • Use the GUI to select your prod.keys, firmware folder, donor_rawnand.bin, donor.keys, and prodinfo.

4. Choose an Operation:

   • GENERATE: Creates NAND partitions and files using the EmmcHaccGen core.
   • DECRYPT, ENCRYPT, and BUILD: Decrypts donor NAND partitions, re-encrypts them for your specific console, and compiles them into a new NAND using NxNandManager.

NANDFIX is built on the powerful cores of these key projects:

• EmmcHaccGen: github.com/suchmememanyskill/EmmcHaccGen
• NxNandManager: github.com/eliboa/NxNandManager
