Hacking Question ReiNX erroring out

[Lalapaloozer]

Hey there peeps. Finally got around to buying a Switch yesterday and I made sure that it was vulnerable before buying . It was update version 8.0.1 out of the box but oh well. Formatted my 128gb SD card to FAT32 before I started anything and then followed the sdsetup guide and got Atmosphere running and backed up my NAND and BiS keys with no trouble. At first I was using 90DNS but I wanted to setup a "Freeshop" like method to get my "backups" directly onto my Switch, by using Incognito and the Google DNS settings. But the thing is, I can't get ReiNX to work to use Incognito.

I wiped my SD completely, threw in only the ReiNX files but no luck when pushing the payload from Tegra or even trying to launch it via Hekate. I either get a quick ReiNX splash to appear and then it stays black until I do a forced shutdown or it'll go to the splash and freeze. Just recently I tried pushing the ReiNX payload from Tegra and I'm getting this to pop up and then it goes to this weird white screen after a few minutes. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Would be greatly appreciated.

You followed the ReiNX guide?

Edit:

If you have Games on the SD, you will need the Nintendo Folder or isn't going to load

Nope, no games and yup, followed it every step. Gonna reformat my SD and see if that helps. Thank you for the reply :]

Edit: .....well, that did the trick. For anyone else who runs into this issue, try reformatting and just throwing back ONLY ReiNX stuff if you're looking to run a similar setup.

Off topic but what exactly is the prodinfo.bin that Incognito is talking about? I want to make sure I have a proper backup before doing anything! I don't remember dumping this from the atmosphere nor ReiNX guide.

Its the information that identficated your console in Nintendo servers, when you use Incognito you erase that info so you cant send or recieve information from Nintendo

Been outta this stuff for over two years and just jumped into it again so I'm trying to familiarize myself with everything. Thanks a bunch for your help and info, much appreciated! Mods, if you read this, please feel free to lock this thread.

Now if my memory serves me right, as I recall I had the exact same issue a few months back
Couldn't load up any cfw at all be it reinx atmos and whatnot else.
So I backed up everything on the SD card did a quick format with guiformat and it fixed everything right away.
