I just opened this issue on Github, but I'm posting it here as well for others to see and possibly chime in
https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/issues/172
I am unable to boot into Atmosphere via Hekate. If I try to do so, there is text output that appears as if things are loading correctly and the Nintendo logo appears, but I get a black screen indefinitely (I've tried letting it sit for 20+ minutes, no change), right before the Switch logo.
I'm using Kosmos, and I've tried just about everything I and the people who were helping me on the Kosmos Discord could think of including:
- Quick reformatting SD card (both FAT32 and exFAT)
- Full reformatting SD card (FAT32)
- Doing a surface test on SD card (0 read errors found)
- Trying multiple versions of both Hekate and Kosmos (v4.5, v4.6 // v11.5, v11.7)
- Trying multiple versions of Atmosphere
- Updating 6.2.0 (orig. installed with system update prompt) => 6.2.0 (installed with ChoiDujoirNX, exFAT support enabled)
- Trying with AutoRCM off/on
- Trying with auto boot off/on
- Unplugging USB from Switch as soon as Hekate is injected (I am using a computer to inject payloads)
Here's what Hekate says after I select CFW, before the Nintendo logo:
Initializing...
Identified Pkg1 ('20181107XXXXXX')
Keyblob Version 6
Loaded Pkg1 and keyblob
Decrypted and unpacked Pkg1
Patching Warmboot
Loaded warmboot.bin and secmon
Read Pkg2
Parsed ini1
Patching Kernel
Patching Kernel initial processes
Decomping FS KIP1 sect 0 of size 873176...
Applying patch 'nosigchk' on FS KIP1 sect 0
Rebuilt and loaded Pkg2
Booting...
(No idea if the pkg1 number is identifying at all, but I replaced the last 6 digits with X)
Something random (or not) is that the Switch never seems to leave RCM mode when this is happening.
I'm not sure why this is happening, and nobody I've asked has an explanation so I am posting this issue as I think it
might be related to Hekate. fusee_primary boots into Atmosphere normally, but I am unable to with Hekate.
