Did you ever actually launch CFW though?

Alright now I understand your issue after researching the error you posted and rereading your initial troubleshooting steps, particularly step 7. When you restored your backup, what exactly did you restore?

I entered Atmosphere and changed the theme so I don't get confused, that's all I did.

I restored eMMC BOOT0 & BOOT1 and then eMMC RAW GPP according to this guide:

https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/extras/nandrestore/

The issue is that I thought my fuses weren't burned but it turns out they were. I'm pretty sure the NAND backup is from 5.1.0 and the fuses are burned to 9.0.
Were the eMMC backup, BOOT0, and BOOT1 all on the same firmware version? Because the issue of the blue screen has nothing to do with fuses but rather a mismatch between your firmware and BOOT0/BOOT1; the fuses were never an issue if you were trying to boot from Hekate/fusee.

I entered Atmosphere and changed the theme so I don't get confused, that's all I did.
So did you ever verify that you actually booted into emuMMC?

Thanks for that info. I backed up everything at the same time so they should all be the same version. Could the files have been corrupted somehow? I guess if restore would have failed if that was the case?

If the files were corrupted, the restoration would have failed as you guessed. Let us assume that there is something wrong with the files otherwise we cannot proceed. Since the blue screen is an issue primarily caused by a mismatch between your firmware and BOOT0/BOOT1, the only fix is to make them match again. However we have to do without booting into CFW. Luckily, ChoiDujour can make complete firmware packages without CFW. The firmware you pick to make doesn't matter but ChoiDujour does not support anything higher than 6.2

at the end of Current version in System Update there is an E and according to the guide you linked me that means I was in emuMMC.
Alright so remind me again why you are trying to partition your SD card again when you already have an emuMMC? Your previous answer wasn't really an answer to my question.

Thanks again.

I just reinstalled BOOT0/BOOT1 again and I don't get blue screen anymore. I just get this error I posted before for both Stock and CFW:

Pkg2 decryption failed!

Is Hekate or Sept updated?



Failed to launch HOS!

Press any key…

When you say "ChoiDujour can make complete firmware packages without CFW", do you mean use my NAND backup or download a different FW and install that? Could I just download a 6.2 and upgrade it in stock to to the latest FW without getting banned?

You would obtain a dump of the firmware using any method available to you, convert them to flashable images with ChoiDujour, then flash said images with hacdiskmount. Whether or not you would not get banned though remains to be seen.

Hi you guys, I haven't touched my switch in quite a while and now I find myself a bit confused. I am using SXOS and I upgraded my Emunand CFW to 11.0.0 because I read that 11.0.1 is not yet (and maybe never will be) supported.

That all works fine but when I boot into OFW it doesn't work if a game is inserted due to a game card slot error (error 2002-2634).

so two questions:
1. Will updating my OFW to 11.0.1 cause problems with SXOS? (Or is that only when CFW is updated?)
2. Will Updating my OFW to 11.0.1 fix the game card slot error?

I bought ringfit adventure and when i put the gamecard in i get a error. Im on a autorcm 10.1.0 with atmosphere emunand. The game requires a 9.x firmware i think.

I don't know myself. Anyways other questions:

1. Is there a way to remove the Sysnand CFW fron Hekate so I don't accidentally tap that ever?

2. Is my Stock OFW safe if I have never booted into CFW in Sysnand? I already connected to the Internet so I'm not sure if doing a NAND restore from before I started the process is still worth it at this point.

Restore your previous NAND backup, the one you should have from the very first time you ran Hekate before installing any CFW. In Hekate, if you use it to chainload Atmosphere, put fusee_primary in bootloader/payloads and use Launch menu in Hekate.
And worth to restore ? All depends on how you connected to internet. On sysnand ? With 90 dns or incognito ?

  1. It is a boot entry listed in the hekate_ipl.ini file located within the bootloader folder
  2. That depends on how you connected to the Internet. Did you connect while using CFW? Were you using something such as 90DNS or Incognito?

I connected in emuMMC with Incognito to check Tinfoil but I also later connected in Stock OFW by accessing the Eshop.

Restore your previous NAND backup, the one you should have from the very first time you ran Hekate before installing any CFW.

My NAND backup is from yesterday but I still played some games, does that mean that if I restore it I will lose those saves and whatever else I did?

Then that should be fine since no one has been banned yet for using Incognito online although people have been banned after using Incognito and losing their backup so I don't recommend to continue using it.

Treat your eMMC backup as a snapshot of your console; whatever state it was in when you made it is the same state it will be in when you restore it. This means whatever games you have installed to internal memory as well as saves of all games will be preserved if they were there before the eMMC backup was made.

Ok thanks, Do you recommend I still restore my NAND? Tbh I don't plan on using emuMMC again for now, I just wanted to try it

Well I don't see any reason why you would need to since you went online protected with emuMMC but if you just want to try it out, then I guess there is no harm either.

No point then to restore your sysnand, the only reason is if it was “clean”. and from what I understand, it’s not the case.

Okay I helped a friend setting up a emuMMC Atmosphere on his Switch just like I did because he's interested in dumping his games and savegames for Yuzu but we ran into a weird problem. Atmosphere loads up no problem with sig-patches and everything, we want to install the Homebrew Menu .nsp via Tinleaf but no matter if we do a USB or SD install, Tinleaf always says Install Succeeded but the HBL icon never shows up in his home menu. Are there any other legal .nsps we can try/install or what's going on here?
