Idk why it doesn't work. Here is what I've done.

• Updated HBL.nsp to 2.1
• Went on system_settings.ini and switched it from payload to reboot and vice-versa

Can anybody help me please?

Did not work for me either. So I tried to replace the reboot_payload with fuse primary and that worked for me. Now it reboots to cfw via the reboot as it should.
So try that ;).

I do have the fusee primary payload inserted though.
Just saying what worked for me. I have updated to ams 0.8.4 and reboot to payload wasn't working. So I replace the reboot payload with fuse primary and that fixed it for me.

I'm using Hekate for the convenience of rebooting to RCM or Shutting down properly.
You can set it to reboot normally, to RCM or to payload. Also atmo can now shutdown properly so if you have autoRCM, it wont reboot to RCM after shutdown.

That's awesome! Just to make sure: I need to write the command "= reboot to payload" right?

Edit: maybe I'm doing something wrong? I just switched off the console and it still autoboots after 15 sec.

I reverted back to atmosphere's "reboot to payload.bin" but the reboot function still reboots to rcm.
Do I need to be on FW 7 to get this to work?

No, all you need is ams 0.8.4, any payload renamed to reboot_payload.bin in atmosphere folder and "power_menu_reboot_function = str!payload" in the system_settings.ini (should be the last line already).

That's my set up but it won't work... Come to think of it though I haven't replace to "reboot to payload" homebrew.
Are you able to shut down your Switch properly? Mine is not working. Injecting "fusee primary" seems to shut it properly.
But that's not what's intended right?

Everything works fine for me. I don't know if shutdown works as I have trinket so I don't use autoRCM.
Yea, that's not how it is supposed to work.

i hope one day we'll just have an option homebrew that lets us set this stuff because it gets to be a handful having to keep track of ini settings and function name and whatnot.

Maybe there's more to it than the config file. Leaving everything default and trying again yields the same result. I'll just revert back to my old config and wait.

Maybe. I had and 0.8.3 and just copy paste the 0.8.4 and overwrite everything when it asks so. Then I "replaced" the payload and it worked.

You're not gonna believe this! Kips in the Kip folder were causing this issue. As soon as I got rid of them it works as intended. Reboot to payload can be done from the system menu and shut down does not autoboot. I even get to reboot into hekate payload!
Now the only thing that remains is "Power on" to CFW.

I think loader.kip was the culprit. Weird that I had them there all along though.

So do you not need that kip for any reason?? I have the issue where reboot to payload doesnt work in any form or matter

Doesnt seem to work for sxos though not sure why just get a blank screen on sxos, I renamed the payload.bin for sxos to reboot_to_payload and dropped it in the atmosphere folder and I get a blank screen??
