NANDFIX is a GUI tool that allows users to unbrick, rebuild, or upgrade Nintendo Switch consoles. It is powered by the EmmcHaccGen and NxNandManager Switch 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.

Note: The author has also released a more advanced successor tool called NAND Fix Pro Switch, which features a three-tiered repair system and direct eMMC access via Hekate USB Tools.

Features

NAND Generation (GENERATE) - Uses the EmmcHaccGen core to create NAND partitions and files based on the provided prod.keys and firmware version.
NAND Decryption (DECRYPT) - Powered by NxNandManager, decrypts donor NAND partitions with donor.keys.
NAND Encryption (ENCRYPT) - Re-encrypts partitions with prod.keys.
NAND Rebuild (BUILD) - Compiles decrypted/encrypted partitions into a new NAND.

Prerequisites

Windows 7 or higher.
.NET Desktop Runtime 7.0.20.
prod.keys extracted from your console using Lockpick_RCM.
Firmware files.

Installation

Download the latest release from GitHub.

User guide

Make sure the NANDFIX app is in the same directory as the donor_rawnand.bin (versions prior to 1.0.1 only; from 1.0.1 onward this is no longer required).

Double-click NANDFIX.exe to start the application.
Select console type: choose between Patched & Unpatched V1 (Erista) and V2, Lite, OLED (Mariko).
Use the GUI to select prod.keys, firmware folder, donor_rawnand.bin, donor.keys, and prodinfo.
Choose an operation:
- GENERATE - Creates NAND partitions and files using the EmmcHaccGen core.
- DECRYPT, ENCRYPT, and BUILD - Decrypts donor NAND partitions, re-encrypts them, and compiles them into a new NAND using NxNandManager.
