RCM Loader doesn't work when Hekate 6 or newer is loaded on to it

worm28 · Feb 4, 2023

I have the same RCM Loader dongle i am using dragonboot just rename the payload to payload.bin and copy to your rcm loader. It looks for the payload in sd:/atmosphere/reboot_payload.bin

Hello, Thanks for the solution.
Three noob question:
1_ What should I copy on the root of the uSD card ?
- the zip file ?
- the whole unzipped files and folders ?

unzip the latest Hekate.x.x.x.zip from here https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate to the top level of your SDCard.

2_ On the uSD card, should I rename hekate_ctcaer_6.0.1.bin into payload.bin ?

Not unless you’re useing a loader other than Hekate. Hekate will work great without renaming anything.

Please read this from the release notes:

You can choose to update your RCM injection device or PC with the new hekate_ctcaer_x.x.x.bin or not.
In any case, bootloader/update.bin, will be checked and if newer it will get loaded.
update.bin is hekate and it is already copied with the bootloader folder drag n drop update process.

3_ The first thing I need to do after I enter Hetake is to partition the uSD card to prepare for emuMMC.
This will erase hetake files.
On which partition should I copy them back ?

Thanks a lot !

When starting off fresh you partition with Hekate and since you have < 1G of data Hekate will temporarily store the contents of your FAT32 partition in memory and automatically restore your data to your SDCard after it’s done partitioning. No need for you to do anything extra unless you have more than 1G worth of data. It‘s a bonus feature that works really well.

Here’s a guide that should fill in any blanks for you:

Thanks for the very detailed answers, very clear now !

Hekate is very clever indeed ;-)

try to have only 1 payload.bin in the RCMloader.

and can you verify what is the space in the RCMLoader "drive"? if it's around 700kb most probably it's a clone.

There is a fake version of RCM loader been sold online where it can't be updated.

I just got two of such fake rcm loaders, they have Hekate 5.8.0 built-in.
