Atmosphere and Daybreak.nro will be used to upgrade

In this tutorial I will show you how to upgrade to firmware 13.2.0 for that Sweet Bluetooth connectivity without burning fuses. I also made an allinonepackage rar file . It contains everything you will need. i.e { sigpatches, fuseeprimary, hekate bootloader, Daybreak homebrew app and even the FIRMWARE file} you DO NOT NEED TO look for sigpatches. they are included already


This tutorial will be made with the safest method possible. Daybreak.nro i will NO longer user ChoidjourNX. in other words the file you will download will only be compatible with daybreak.

How to prepare for the update : DO NOT Proceed if you havent done this
1) make sure you uninstall any themes you might have installed with themeinstallerNX BEFORE proceeding ahead. if you havent installed any themes go ahead without worries.
2) if you have a game cartridge INSIDE your switch take it OUT.
3) If you have any tesla modules or cheats well disable.
4) Remember: I test this on my own units first. before I provide any files. I use the most stable versions .



on with the tutorial below

thanks!
there are a couple of things that I have trouble now.

- The reboot to payload app in the hb menu does not work, it gets stuck in the black screen asking to press - to reboot to payload.
- Every time I run a game the switch shows a popup telling me that the system is ready to update (I already updated using your tutorial)

I would also like to request another all-in-one package with added notes for any possible files that may need to be deleted/replaced or renamed.

I found another tutorial online but it's a bit confusing with that last bit.

Good old Blighty
@DorianX
You seem to be in demand here old fellow. All the new games require 14.X now and lots of people are following old YouTube videos that are out of date, or downright confusing, or using wrong files. Seems like they need a new tutorial that is simple and trustworthy. You are their sensei, guide them oh knowledgeable one!

Thanks for this, does the latest atmosphere 1.3.2 works on 14.1.2 (Bootless)? what official Firmaware did you use? thanks in advance

Yes the Bootless version of 14.1.2 works with Atmos 1.3.2 from what I've heard, I had the normal version of 14.1.2, not the bootless update.

There's also this guide I found, seems a little easier for newbies.
