Hacking Question Tinfoil Game Update makes loop switch payload

Gaspesy · Sep 16, 2019

Dears,

I have installed successfully 7.0.1 on my switch with choidujour and latest sdsetup zip (Atmosphere 13.2.1 and Hekate 5.0.1). I played as usual with all my games.
I wanted to test Tinfoil and selecting one of the games, it asked for an update (game update) and crashed.

Since then, It cannot load to the OS anymore, It loops to hekate menu with CW (sysnand) ..

Could you please help me at least understand what could happen ??!!

Thanks all for your help !!!

Possible file corruption on SD card.

Format and reinstall everything. Safest is to use FAT32.

Also your version number for atmos doesn’t make sense, possibly you mean Kosmos - if so the latest is v14.1

I will get a new SD Card see if it's the issue...
But not sure at all ....
Thanks

Try to format sd card in FAT32 with 32kb cluster size and fresh download files and put them on sd card and try if that works

I did the format in FAT32 with cluster size 32...
Launching with Hekate 5.0.1. Downloaded from SDSetup a fresh file ..
Still the same Hekate is looping !! Do I have to put other files ?!!

I don't understand .. I was just in the options menu of the game Mario+Rabbids in Tinfoil .. I said install update and it stopped working !!

Well it looks to me like something corrupted a few files and thats whats preventing it from booting
Yes download a fresh kosmos package (it contains Hekate as well) and go from there. Do not overwrite the existing files, delete the old ones and paste the fresh files (yes that sometimes works for some weird reason)
Also can you boot into stock sysnand?

I don't think this is a corrupted file (at least on the SD card) ... Because it has been formatted and all files are new!
I also tried format and copy a backup of working files ... It gave me an error about found pkg1

I cannot boot into stock neither (to say the truth, I never tried it before and don't know if it was working)

I launched it with the latest fusee-primary and I have a black screen ... when I click on the on/off button, I see the screen light but still black ...

I got the web page to restore the Nand Backup but I don't have the "rawnand.bin" file ?!?!?!

You should have made a backup when your switch was on a good state, so you can restore it to that point.
If you have not done this before, you don't have a rawnand.bin" file!

FOUND the Nand Backup and Boot files ....
I will launch a backup !!
Let's see
Thanks

Done !!! Thank you @toxic9 !!
It came back to OFW 4.1.0 !! I am feeling much better !

Now I will redo everything and do another Nand Backup with version 7 !!

Just happened to me after updating to latest tinfoil. Corrupted all my games and OS. Luckily it was only EmuNAND, so restored and am starting anew to try again.

No problem!!
I'm SUPER glad it's working again!

Yes, now you have to update your firmware again...
You can keep a backup for every stage you want, so you can restore it if anything goes wrong.
Just confirm everything is working perfectly before doing a backup =)
