You're never going to get the help you want with that kind of attitude. There are reasons I ask the questions I do because its very obvious I know more than you do and am trying to prevent future issues. But hey, if your console bricks or black screens, I guess won't help you.
Doesn't AIO just download the update and place it on the SD card? I don't think HOS will notice that.
I don't know if it does or doesn't because I don't blanket trust any updater application but even if it does place it on the SD card, the fact that the user had Wi-Fi settings enabled on the console meant the console had downloaded the system update anyways. It lines up with what they said when they were getting the prompt before the AIO tool downloaded the update for them.
Firstly, your switch is way out of date. A quick google search says that 9.0.0 was already out by the time AC launched. So youd probably be unable to run the games if they installed. Secondly, how are you installing them to tinfoil, from the sd? if so, try usb/ftp instead. Fixing one or both of those issues should make the game install. If it still doesnt work then the nsp is probably bad (which you can verify with nscbuilder)
Download the firmware (youll have to source it yourself, cant help with that). Extract to a folder on the sd card. Run daybreak (comes in the newer atmosphere versions) and select the folder.@Draxzelex Thanks, I'll try TinWoo
@lbcap How do I update my Switch? Whats the correct procedure to not get into any trouble later on? And thanks, I'll try the usb/ftp way
RIGHT?! And can't you use ChoiDujourNX to manually install the update?? That's why I downloaded it. To install it at my leisure. So I wouldn't have the system do it, itself. I Dont HAVE and attitude @Draxzelex and if you clearly KNOW so much more than I do, then you should've recognized the things I said and did and helped me with instruction from there.
Yes, the fusee option in Launch also gives a black screen after displaying the Hekate and Atmosphere logo first.
I can only make use of my knowledge once I have the facts. Based on the information you initially presented, many things didn't add up without making any assumptions therefore the next step is to ask questions until the necessary information has been divulged. This is not being "critical"; this is how you diagnose issues. Doctors don't just answer questions without asking their own questions first because like me, they don't know what you know or have done. And based on your responses, I fully understand what caused your initial problem which the user you quoted did not reply back to because he knows I am right in my assessment.
Hmm that doesnt make much sense... I wonder if its an sd card issue? Hekate runs before loading anything related to the nand/emunand/cfw so the only reason it could fail is a hardware issue as far as i can determine. Even booting the payload without the proper files should give an error screen, so i dont see how it could possibly be an error on your end.
Tried with another sd card, Sandisk but not Switch version this time, but still get the same black screen after the hekate logo upon launch. Perhaps I should try alternative solutions to partitioning or file-based emuMMC, so far I've followed the guide described at switch.homebrew.guide.
If by booting into hekate you mean loading up the menu then this happens when I use sdsetup's file collection. The problem appears after selecting a Launch option, according to which I only get to see Hekate or Atmosphere and a black screen afterwards.
You can avoid it by launching via the fusee-primary payload. You can also chainload it via Hekate that will also work.
