Kefir Updater is a homebrew for the Nintendo Switch, which can update Kefir (an AIO homebrew pack created for the Russian community, similar to Kosmos). In addition, it also allows you to add linked Nintendo account with just one-click.

Note: No longer maintained. Please use Linkalho instead.

User guide

Add linked account

Note: Requires internet connection for retrieving the files in order to inject a linked account (which will cause you to lose all your saves).

The following guide is based on many helpful notes on the discussion thread, mostly from: this guide by DrLivingstoned, this short guide by mrdude, information on save data by IBNobody, notes on how to unlink account by Ape8000.

Instruction for add linked account:

• Place the .nro in the switch directory on your SD card.
• Create NAND backup from Atmosphere (tools menu). Just in case something goes wrong.
• Create backup from Checkpoint.
• Restart and Kefir Updater should be in the homebrew menu.
• Activate internet with 90DNS (important).
• Run Kefir Updater from homebrew.
• Very important - Do not press the "Update" option.
  • This was meant for Kefir users, it will overwrite your payload/CFW, modify the boot image and install .nros from the package, etc.
• Press "Add Linked Account", and wait.
• Reboot and switch off internet access.
• Go to your System Menu, and delete your game save for all the games.
• Start all installed games again, and then exit.
  • This step is needed so you can restore the save, the game will start from the beginning (you only have to get to the Nintendo logo).
• Restore the old savegames with Checkpoint.
• Power off the Switch, remove the SD card and remove the Kefirupdater.nro from the switch directory.
• Startup in cfwemunand as you always do, change your icon and name. Everything should be the same as before, only a Nintendo account has been added.

If you want to unlink the account:

• Use Linkalho to unlink all accounts.
• After the system reboots, you can remove the account normally.
• You can run the program again if you want to relink all the accounts again.

Alternatives

• Linkalho by rdmrocha.
• LinkUser by StarDustCFW.
• StarDust-Toolkit by StarDustCFW.

Compatibility

Tested on Atmosphere 9.0.1.
