Hello guys, I've just updated sx os to the latest 2.3 beta version to move emunand from system to sd.
Once the process ended I couldn't boot into emunand anymore. All i get is a black screen (no matter how much I do wait).
I can boot into ofw and cfw on sysnand with no problems.

Just to give more infos:
I'm on 6.1.0 on both sysnand and emunand and I've already tried to replace boot0.bin and boot1.bin in emunand folder with a backup made with hekate.
My sd card is exfat.

I've now backed my sd card up and I'm going to format it to fat32, then I'll copy back every file I previously had. I'm sceptic anyways...
Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.

I don't know why they couldn't add another setting to transfer emunand back to system

I think you need new boot0/1 files from what I read.
It seems it has a new config of some sort.

I have some news... After formatting my sd card and copying the emunand back to it, I was able to boot. It took some time (like one minute) but it worked.
Now there are other problems... for example, it doesn't boot every time so I have to constantly enter RCM.

EDIT: No way, I didn't see that the one is booting up is my sysnand for unknown reasons... So... after formatting sd nothing got better D:

What do you mean?

i think its a issue with 6.1.0. All People i asked - who got blackscreen - (like me ) are on 6.x.x. People who are ion 5.1.0 or under 6.x.x got emunand work :/
Could you solve your problem?
I also thought it's a problem related to 6.x.x firmware.

Me too, same problem. I tried a bunch of things but always black screen.

I am on 6.1.0 . It might be that the black screen problem only appears for 6.1.0 users?

Did you use a Hekate BOOT0/BOOT1 that you created at the same time as the SX OS 2.3 emunand?

Or did you use an earlier (old) Hekate backup to replace boot0/1? Because if it was older, maybe that is important.

I made my Hekate backup right after I created Emunand with SX OS2.3. Maybe I should have made an older one, like a pre 6.1.0 one? Maybe that is important?

I did this:
- Create Emunand using SX OS 2.3.
- Create Hekate backup of boot0/1
- Windiff to compare Hekate BOOT0 and BOOT1 with sxos/emunand/boot0.bin and boot1.bin -> they are identical bit by bit. So no point in replacing them.

    smokey flavor that reminds me of beef jerkey on top of a really rich kind of bbq sauce. Heat level that is a nice zing, not overwhelming, but it tingles all the way down your throat
