I did it exactly like in the Guide you send me. It took me over 2 1/2 Hours because I double checked everything at any step 4 times.

Step by step and in the end I copied and pasted the content from the „Kosmos_patches_12_08_2019_bootconfig.zip“ to my SD Root and used „Hekate_cctaer_5.1.1.bin“ to launch my CFW.

I even used other Game NSPs because I thought maybe it’s just the NSP but nope.
None NSP (Except the Homebrew Menu NSP) Works.

I need someone to send me Working SD Files where everything is settled and everything is done and all I have to do is copy and paste the files to my MicroSD and Copy and Paste my Game NSP from my PC the MicroSD.

Other than that there is no other choice than Factory Reset or use my NAND Backup. Both can go wrong but there are no other options.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------



How could I Update to 9.1.0 if I’m already 9.1.0. I don’t think that that’s how it works and I don’t want to risk getting banned. My Console was never Online since I got Homebrew and i have faith that i can do it somehow without getting Online.

Ofcouse you can Op reupdate is choiNx with no online. Also you can DNS block to nintendo server too. About your system when did it play up before you update 9.1or after?.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I recently wanted to Update my Nintendo Switch Firmware and got a bit of complications with it. Long story short: I saved my Micro SD Card Data with all my games on the PC and format my SD new.

With the new formatted SD card I updated my Switch. After I was on 9.1.0 I tried to copy the games from my micro SD Card folder from the PC to my micro SD.
Non of the games will start and Even if I tried to install a new NSP, the same problem comes up.

„Unable to start software. Return to the HOME menu and try again.“

Oddly I can install the Homebrew Menu NSP but that’s it.
And yes i added the sigpatches.
I really hope you guys can help me.

Nintendo Switch: 9.1.0
Atmosphere: 0.10.2
Goldleaf 0.8.0
This is what you told us that aftet you updated to 9.1 it playing up. So you did update from 8.1.
Even someone send you the file it will be the same because you try new files with new Sd card remember?.

I don't understand you quite right.
What should I do now?

1.Update from 9.1.0 to 9.1.0 (EXFAT?) via ChoidujourNX.

2.Go online while I’m in CFW and try to update my System from 9.1.0 to 9.1.0 via Official Nintendo Server and hope everything works out and I’m not getting banned.

3.Use My 5 Day old 8.1.0 NAND Backup.

These are the 3 options or is there something I missed?

Op I don't want you to go online , I just think that this issue may due to console update. So I did ask you to try to reupdate 9.1 with ChioNX, this case you do not need to go online at all if you do not wish to do so. :) please get the 9.1 firmware file from trust source.

Those are not the most recent patches:12/08/2019. Use the most recent:
https://github.com/Joonie86/hekate/..._patches_02_12_2020_bootconfig_tinfoilv8+.zip
Also, use Awoo: https://github.com/Huntereb/Awoo-Installer/releases/tag/1.3.1
And does Hekate logo show immediately before you're into the launch menu?

So you suggest I should update from 9.1.0 to 9.1.0 via ChoidujourNX?

Which File System should my MicroSD Card use?
FAT32 or ExFAT?
And should I update to 9.1.0 or 9.1.0 (ExFAT)?

And most important how should I know which website is a Trusted source for that?
I don’t want to mess up even more.

I used the links you send me and downloaded and put everything on the Micro SD Card.

The Awoo Installer works fine but it doesn’t make any difference.
It still doesn’t work: „Unable to start software. Return to the HOME menu and try again.“.

And yes I see a Hekate Logo before launching.
I use Hekate_ctcaer_5.1.1.bin to launch in CFW.

I think i found a trustworthy source.
I wanted to update from 9.1.0 to 9.1.0 (ExFAT) while my MicroSD Card is still FAT32.


I got the same Problem that I got when I updated to 9.1.0.
Some NCAs are missing and I can’t do the update.
Someone suggested that if that occurs you have to unzip the update file 3-6 Times and put all Unzipped Folders in one big folder.
So instead of: Update/Firmware 9.1.0/

It should look like Update/Firmware9.1.0/UpdateA,UpdateB/UpdateC/UpdateD/UpdateE/UpdateF/

And Inside the Update A-F Folders are 6 Unzipped Firmware 9.1.0 Files.

I could do it again like last time i updated to 9.1.0 and it will probably work but maybe that was the problem.

OP when you unzip it just leave unzip folder INSIDE firmware folder on the root of Sd card. That what I did my, when you use choiNx just go to firmware folder then let it do it work.

Ps Op mind to tell me which source you get?
Just give me only first letter :)

I did it like you described it but it didn’t worked.

Im just gonna do what i did the first time i updated to 9.1.0.
6 Folders with each a Full unzipped Firmware.

It worked before so it should work again.
Hopefully the Error message doesn’t came from installing the firmware in such a way.

Op how come your way look so complicat? It should only unzip and all the .nca files is inside, then you make one folder and name it 9.1 firmware at the root of sd card. Look like your firmware source is not from X... or S then :)

I got it the 6 Folder Idea from here.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/choidujournx-missing-files-error.526422/

I just changed it from 3 to 6 because 3 wasn’t enough.

Anyway. 1000 different MicroSD Card Setups later and I have to say:
I’m done trying to figure this out.
I’m going to load my nand Backup, change my MicroSD to ExFAT and try to replicate everything I can until the point where everything worked.

I have to load over 110 GB on my MicroSD Card.
This will take me a whole day and chances are that it will not work.

Wish me luck
Keep you posted.
