yeah but it works perfectly fine with OFWdid you actually push the sd card "fully" into the switch that message happens only usually when the bootdat cant be read when sending payload if your sd card is inserted "fully" then sounds like your sd card reader on your switch is fucked and it cant read the bootdat file
should it be MBR or GPT?I had a the same issue.
This is how i resolved it:
* Download a program called "Mini Partition Wizard" for windows
* Use this program to format the SD card to exFat
* Put SD card into Switch and boot into OFW
* The swtich should prompt you to download the exFat update (This will update the switch to the latest firmware as well as install the exFat Patch - This will also burn your fuses)
* But the Boot.Dat onto the SD card
* Put Dongle and Jig into switch and all should be working now
I tried to follow the unoffcal guides to not burn fuses or update the firmware however since SX OS runs pretty much everything, i figured it didn't matter if i update the firmware.
Im sure a persistent cold-boot will eventually the latest firmware versions
Use MBR in Mini Partition Toolshould it be MBR or GPT?
I did almost the same thing as you did, but got failed result.I had a the same issue.

I click apply and it wants me to pay 40 dollars lol... guess ill never know if this would have worked.Use MBR in Mini Partition Tool
Make sure to click apply when you want to commit the changes and run the format

When step did you get a failure?
The last step "Put Dongle and Jig into switch and all should be working now", I put dongle connect into switch , hold volume + and then power on, all thing not working but only got a red BOOT.DAT? screen.Mini Partition should be free.

tried sx 1, 1.2, 1.3Delete bootdat file on sd card and try different sx os versions. Personally Never had this problem your having exactly, but knowing computers funny shit can and will happen, have to keep trying different things before it works.
maybe we should try 1.1 since we both skipped it lolme too. 1.0, 1.2 1.3 are tried.
may worth a try ....but I am afraid I don't believe so, my friend. The sx boot.dat file is copied on SD card, if the file system driver in RCM not work, it can't read any content on SD card.maybe we should try 1.1 since we both skipped it lol

well did all of it and tried with sx 1.1 and boot.dat? error
I started in 4.1 but updated to 5.1 looking for a fix. I also tried fat32 cards.Seeing your on 4.1. Hekate is what your using to format your sd card to to exfat? Curious.. I think I remember reading somewhere exfat support lacking and being quarky with lower versions than 5.1 AFAIK.Try maybe to format to fat32 instead? See what happens.. if any luck.
Interesting.. did you use the Nintendo console to format the sd card with the update? I'm Just curious of the backround of what you did in case myself or others encounter this same problem. I used the Nintendo updates to format the sd card when prompted in my personally situation.I started in 4.1 but updated to 5.1 looking for a fix. I also tried fat32 cards.
