After atmosphere update, injecting hekate does nothing

[Chopper78]

I was updating my CFW/Firmware and when trying to inject hekate, nothing happens. The screen stays black and Tegra still says "RCM Ready" or whatever. The system will boot up normally (no CFW at all) but won't take payloads. What should I be looking for?

Make sure you have all new files.

Make sure you have all new files.

100% new files from sdsetup

What are you using to inject your payload?

edit:

‘check the following…

• Make sure yiur injector is fully charged. Might take a bit to get there.
• Make sure USB port is clean. Isopropyl Alcohol and folded paper towel will work in a pinch,
• Try switching cables. I’ve chased the cable dragon more than I care to admit.

Try injecting a different payload to see if the file is the problem. Fusee or LockpickRCM, for instance. If they work, redownload your hekate payload file and try again. If they don't, do what @binkinator said. You'd be surprised how often cables are the problem.

So injecting fusee directly worked fine, system shows atmosphere 1.2.6. Same cable. For whatever reason, the hekate payload wouldn't inject.

try injecting hekate without sd card

What method do you use to inject payload? some RCM Loaders need to be firmware updated to work with Hekate 5.6.0 and newers

Good call @Gep_Etto! Nailed it.

Well that’s good news (sorta)! At least we can eliminate the physical layer. A complete mystery why Hekate won’t work though…

Gonna have to try to redownload Hekate…maybe try a different version?

What file specifically are you injecting for “Hekate“?

Literally the hekate_ctcaer_5.7.0 from github. It worked one minute, didn't the next.

So.... Occam's Razor. If your hekate isn't being injected, it's because you moved the file and panicked like a dumbass.

Glad you’re sorted. Thanks for closing out the thread, even if it was a bit anti-climatic.
