NxNandManager

NxNandManager is an application designed for more advanced users. It helps explore the inner files of the Nintendo Switch console located on either the system disk or on a virtual partition called emuNand. As far as I can tell, with this program you'll also be able to execute restore procedures on your console, and I should know since I've had almost three bricks on my console.

Well, since I already told you about how I almost bricked my console, I should have also said something about the people I trusted to restore it back to its former self. The point is that you run the risk of bricking your console if you do not know what you are doing, as I did.

The program can be easily used for checking some superficial information like the size or version of your NAND, its type, and so on. What I like to do with such programs is keep an eye on the partitions themselves and also do a full dump. The created file acts as some sort of backup.

By all means, do not engage in full or partial restoration by yourself if you do not know what you are doing. I was almost fooled into thinking it is as simple as it looks. Take all the precautions you can, and then if you do know what you are doing, proceed to do a full or partial restore. With your previously done dump of the NAND you can breathe a little easier knowing that whatever the situation, you can always fix it.

The program also includes a number of saving and mounting options, each tied to a specific button. The program itself is responsive and also offers a lot of particular and advanced information. For example, I was able to find out if the NAND is encrypted on my switch and the ID of the first and last sector.

NxNandManager can be a helpful tool for individuals who actually know what they are doing. This does not mean people like you and I can't use it per se. We just have to be cautious of how we use it and the risks we're subjecting ourselves to.
