SCCM Toolbox Format tool - Add Android or Linux partitions WITHOUT backing up and reformatting
Just dropped a new guide for the format workflow in SCCM Switch Toolbox, a 100% free app for managing your modded Switch SD card.
Get the app: https://guides.socalconsolemodding.com/sccm-switch-toolbox/
What the formatter can do:
- Remove android or linux partitions and expand the HOS FAT32 partition to fill the new space. (without having to backup and restore)
- Add a partition for android or linux while preserving data (including an emummc partition and HOS FAT32 data)
- Wipe a card and create hekate compatible sd card layouts from scratch
A few quick notes:
Preserve mode keeps your HOS files and any partitions you check, shifting data live to fit the new layout, so no backup-then-restore round trip just to repartition
Wipe mode is one click away if you'd rather start clean
Drive picker only shows removable disks, so no risk of grabbing your system drive. Cards already formatted for Switch get a [SWITCH] tag
Switch Model selector sets the right EmuMMC size for V1/V2/OLED automatically
HOS soaks up whatever space is left over. Add Linux or Android and HOS shrinks to make room; skip them and that space rolls back into HOS
Live layout preview during configuration, plus a side-by-side before/after and written change summary on the confirm screen

Coming soon:
- Restore guide with preconfigured Android setup
- Migrate guide
- Hosted preset Linux and Android backups (skip the setup, restore and go)
- Polished Auto Setup function for first-time setup
Free, no paywall. Feedback welcome. This is an ongoing project and I plan on adding a ton more features. The goal is an All-In-One app for everything you need for Switch Homebrew. If you have ideas for new features, you can submit them HERE
