Tried both approaches mentioned in the "Alternate boot setups" section of the NH Switch Guide (nh-server)
1. Adding fusee-primary.bin in bootloader, modifying hekate_ipl.ini, pushing the Hekate payload and selecting Launch -> Atmosphere. Result is black screen after both the Hekate and Atmosphere logo.
2. Pushing the fusee-primary.bin payload. Result is black screen after the Atmosphere logo.
Sounds like the nand youre booting is messed up to me, although i cant be 100% certain.

A user on another message board suggested that upgrading solved the problem.
Is there any method to upgrade the emuNAND of CFW without burning fuses or altering the OFW version (4.1.0) in any way?

Yes but it would require being able to boot into the emunand, which you obviously cant do.

Hey friends,

trying to use quark & goldleaf to install an NSP but I keep getting the same error. I've updated my sigpatches (at least I believe I have) and am still getting an error.

invalid nca (might mean missing sigpatches or a too low firmware) (4518)

Any ideas?

Try using TinWoo Installer instead.

I'll give it a shot! Thanks.

Do I put the contents inside the "switch" folder from the TinWoo download into the "switch" folder on my SD Card?

No, quark is only usable with Goldleaf. There are plenty of alternatives that work with TinWoo Installer such as NS-USBLoader (Java) and Aluminum Foil (python).
Trying out NS-USBLoader and I keep getting the error that reads:

OpenFileSystemWithId:122: Failed to open file system with id:
............ Error code: 0x00234c02

There should be a driver installer option within the program. I dont use nsusbloader so im not sure where it is, but its in a menu somewhere.
Well, I checked and installed the drivers. Ran through the motions again and......same outcome as before!

Most likely issue in my opinion is with sigpatches. Try installing tinfoil, if you can successfully get into tinfoil then it might give more info on the error. If you cant, then it proves my theory correct.

I just put the tinfoil nro file onto my sd card and tried to launch it from the HB menu and it just reverted me back to the main screen of the HB menu.

It installs tinfoil to the home menu. If you dont see tinfoil there and instead see a spinning icon, that meant i was right and youre missing sigpatches.
Ah!! I see a spinning icon. Any guides for sigpatches? Thought I updated them, but I must have been mistaken.
