Hello Knowledge Base,

I have a switch that has been running hekete and atmosphere for some time now, until recently I have successfully utilised the CFW without issue over the last few years.

However recently I have some software that required the latest 11.0 FW, I put it off until now assuming there would be some stability in apps and CFW at this stage.

As such, I refreshed myself on the process to update FW and CFW, compiled the latest copy of Deepsea as it appeared to be the most up to date Atmosphere base, downloaded the 11.0.1 firmware from darth and the latest hekete sigpatches available from ITotalJustice. I completed the firmware update with daybreak and copied the sigpatches across.

At this point all smooth sailing, however as usually some issues getting games to run. all of the installed games were flagging as corrupt, ran checks, reinstalled a few (with great difficulty as lithium+aluminum foil no longer worked for me) with Awoo. Eventually got them installed but flagging the need for software update, was unable to get tinfoil, goldleaf to work either so couldn't install version/dlc updates. Eventually thought to downgrade back to 6.2 (first major question, should I have updated in series or is 6.2 --> 11.0.1 ok?) after verifying the process again.

Now I am at a dead end, still reliably boot into RCM and Hekete, able to initialise boot into sysMMC(CFW), however boot is stalling at Nintendo logo and remains locked until 12 sec power button reset.

I have my original backup RAW GPP and BOOT0/1 + Keys, Fuses, JKSV saves BIS Keys but would like to understand what it is I have done wrong/what the problem is before going nuclear.

I have since reverted to vanilla atmosphere as the logos on hekete launch screen where bugged, this has resolved that but still unable to move past nintendo screen just before homescreen.

Hekete fuse info:
7/6 8-0 (6.20)

I have been through this forum, reddit and many other guides, youtube vids, etc but am at a loss.


Would be great if someone in the know would be willing to jump on discord/skype and help troubleshoot. Otherwise your guidance would be appreciated in reply to this post.

When you downgraded, did you perform a system initialization?

i think games show that they are corrupt when sigpatches are not installed correctly.

for the other problem i have sadly no idea.
