you have to wipe the sd because it needs to be partitioned. backup the cfw files, if you have a file based emunand then that too. if its partitioned based just start over, backup saves, and re download games once resetup

Thank you so much for reply,is possible partition sdcard directly from Hekate?

Quick question about installing games via an External HDD (rather than connecting switch to PC as it seems long winded) if anyone has some experience!

I've got a Toshiba 1TB, self powered HDD with all my switch games stored on it.

I've tried to use Tinfoil 13.0, Tinwoo, and the latest Tinleaf but none of them seem to be able to discover the HDD for some reason. CLICK HERE to see the drive in question. It's only a little 2.5" drive so I don't think it's not getting enough power to read/ write...

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

good morning. I'm working on setting up my switch for cfw...but I ran into this error? I followed all the steps up to double clicking the fusee payload in this guide. It sent to my switch but it says I got a fatal error? Did it work or did I miss a step?

If you haven't used the switch in a while the battery will be totally and completely dead, it happened to me.

Hold the power button for up to 15 seconds just to ensure that it's totally turned off, the use the official Switch charger/ dock to charge the console for a while. I left mine overnight and it was fine the next day.

Hope that helps!

This could be an issue as simple as the fatal error gives you.

In the brackets it says (atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin!)

Have you checked in the atmosphere folder of your SD Card to see if the "fusee-secondary" file is missing? That could be all it is.

I''m using another jig now, and I guess this works. The screen is staying black now.
After connecting with an usb, I start TegraRcmGUI on the pc.
The APX driver is not showing, so in TegraRcmGUI I go to settings and 'install driver'.
At that moment my pc asks me for a password, because it's the pc from work, so I'm not able to continue

We have a computer at home, but that's a macbook. So I guess this works not the same way as for a Windows pc, correct?

It finally worked

With a new jig, new usb and another pc (windows) I was able to enter RCM.
Via TegraRcmGUI I was able to inject the payload.

But, I'm afraid I have done something wrong.
Atmosphere was launched on the Switch, but it started again with all the settings from the previous owner and without any games

I'm not sure what to do now ...

You didn't set up your SD card? That may be the problem then ahaha

Without any CFW files on the SD card, you're not gonna be able to run CFW!

it wont find the HDD as its probably formatted to ntfs so it'll need NUT running, if it was fat32 or exfat it would probably work if it has enough power.
