Update: Thanks to @The Real Jdbye for providing the solution.
Card was formatted with tegra explorer. Stock Atmosphere launched with hekate in emuMMC. Titles were all placed onto the SD card before being installed by Awoo.
Out of a sample size of 50 titles, all of which were NSZ files obtained from the same source, seven had errors. Of those seven, six were confirmed to be XCI files that had been converted. The seventh title returned a 2155-8007 error, however it still starts and runs perfectly fine. Removing and reinstalling the title from a different source, the error no longer displayed.
My recommendation is to follow the advice Jdbye posted on page two to check for conversions and corruptions.
You should probably also avoid using exFAT. There still seems to be some debate on whether or not exFAT causes corruption, but the evidence seems to suggest that it does. In any case nothing suggests that FAT32 alone will cause corruption, so better safe than sorry.
If you are having this problem as well please check out the poll and select the options that apply to your case. We can all attempt to isolate commonalities.
Threads involving title corruption are frequently dismissed as "your SD card is dead buy a new one." I use five different SD cards. At least two of them had never been used before, were tested as working, formatted to FAT32, and the problem immediately presented itself. Back-ups were placed using nut server and USB. I have also tried installing via network. It seems to be completely random.
Most of the time I will find that out of a dozen, two or three didn't install correctly. Most recently I did a large batch of about twenty, and nearly all of them were corrupt. It happens with every SD card I own.
Are there logs or something so we could possibly take a look at what exactly is happening?
Is that not something the Switch is capable of, or just something nobody has implemented yet?
If not, is it at least possible to generate some error code representing where the failure took place?
For those of you who have never had this issue, how many SD cards have you used? Were any of them exfat? What CFW are you using, and what method did you use to install it?
