Today I got a system update message & I normally ignore these messages & turn my switch on airplane mode reboot to payload so that the message would disappear until i would have to update it offline & when i tried to do that i went to run a game while holding R to ram mode & I accidentally triggered the update & now the switch goes black screen whenever i inject the fusee payload as i run Atomsphere, the switch still gets picked up on my PC in RCM mode so i can boot into hekate just fine but I cant get into the switch home menu even after holding the POWER button 15+ seconds to hard reset . I also don’t have a backup for my nand

You got the latest firmware that just got release. 10.0.0. So you just got to wait until Atmosphere and Hekate got support for it. Hopefully it goes quick.

Or SXOS if you now use it as well.

https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/commit/fef3040886d1bb402f458a9e510c41c49496e5d9

Seems like you can soon run CFW again ;)
Thank you ! & Did they change something I can just edit in the files or will I have to wait to they put something out to redownload some files ?

Just wait until he releases it. What you need to do later is to boot Atmosphere directly until Hekate also updates.
But just take a little break for now, don't try to downgrade or such. They're working on it.

Did you use emunand or sysnand? I can't boot into cfw-sys anymore BUT emunand (second SD card) works.
Maybe there's a theme crashing your cfw? Try deleting the "0100000000001000" folder from your sdcard in /atmosphere/contents/
Solved the black screen for me on emunand (Fw 9.1.0 and 0.11.0).

Im not sure what the difference is when it comes to booting up but im pretty sure im on sysnand because I have this problem

Did you delete the old atmosphere files and then copy them to your sd card or did you copy over the old.
You should probably use this downtime to pull a backup of your NAND for next time. ;)
If they burnt a fuse with this update (and they probably did) and older backup wouldnt do any good but like logandzwon said make one just so if anything u can have your keys and stuff.

I did manage to boot cfw-sys again. I've deleted the atmosphere folder of my sd card and replaced it by a clean atmosphere folder from the latest release. That lets me boot, but without new working sigpatches, cfw 10.0 isn't really worth it.

What was the error message you got when you couldn't boot sys cfw?

There was no error message. Just plain black screen after the second atmosphere Bootscreen.
I don't know why, I assume that some kips, some patches or some sys modules wouldn't work with the new Fw.

Hi,
Thanks for this thread.

My kids removed the Airplane mode and did the update by mistake lol.
I managed to turn back on my Switch by deleting Atmosphere and downloading the new one.

Would it be possible to downgrade to 9.2.0 (exFat) with ChoidujourNX or is it impossible because of the fuses ?

Thanks

    @BigOnYa, Well, in that thread they say it's pretty much safe to manage save files back and forth to consoles as long as you don't go online with cheats activated or with a pirate game.
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    I own every of my games legit with their own cartridges
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    also, I'm not planning to use any cheats, etc, just continue the normal gameplay on the emulator
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It only gives a internet settings option then it spazes out
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @ATEMVEGETA if you use save from other switch you may be ok, but using a save from emulator to switch will prob get you banned
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Under ipv4/6
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file will be created and started normally on the Switch's OFW with a legit game. Then that save file will be transfered to the emulator and continue the gameplay there. Then send it back to the console.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I feel like I need to touch @Sicklyboy rack to make it work at this point
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file(s) would never be created first in an emulator
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Do you think continuing the story on the emulator would flag the save file as illegal? (Again no cheats, etc will take place, only normal story of the game progress)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But still using the save on a emulator, then back to switch is shady
    +2
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Yea, that's the only thing I want to clarify actually. If someone has tried it with no problems.
    +1
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    If using the save on the emulator flags the save file. :/
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Again, "using" I mean normal gameplay not modify it with other means like pokehex, etc
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Can you help me clarify this thing somehow? Do you know someone that may know or have tried it?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just play it on the emulation at home and portable use the normal save, I wouldn't risk anything if online is important to you

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My psychiatrist tried to help me once said it was mine 9 months later

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Just ask in the forums if anybody has done it, I don't know of anybody who has, or would risk it.
