Tinfoil can not find files on USB

Virdoo · Nov 10, 2021

Hello,

I've tried to install files over tinfoil and nut. Problem is that Tinfoil can not found anything on usb/usbf althought Nut found them. I've tried to install usb drivers, but it didn't worked out. Is there a way to fix that?

Forgot to add, I've updated both tinfoil to 13.0 and nut to 3.3

I recommend dbi (https://github.com/rashevskyv/dbi/releases/tag/336) (you only need the nro app)
You don't need anything other than the app itself on your switch and here is explained how to install from usb https://github.com/rashevskyv/dbi/blob/main/README_ENG.md#run-mtp-responder

If you want to install through USB with DBI then just use the "Install title from USB" option (https://github.com/rashevskyv/dbi/blob/main/README_ENG.md#install-title-from-usb), MTP allows file transfers overall if you really want to first copy your files over

You do not need to copy files first when using mtp. You can install directly.

Yea i had the same issue a few days ago, spent hours trying to figure it out and it just wouldnt show any files.
I installed the tinfoil_driver.exe on the pc, ran NUT and then started up tinfoil 13 on the switch and it says connected but wouldnt show anything usb/usbf.
Was really late and I shut down the pc and went to sleep.
Next day it connected and I could see the files without doing any changes :|

I'm currently struggling with the exact same issue w/ the same Tinfoil and Nut version. I tried a lot of solutions from other threads / forums but none worked for me.

Were you able to make it work? @Virdoo

Not really. But once helped when I refreshed Tinfoil few times. So might worth a try

If this doesn't help, try multiple times closing and reopening both Nut and Tinfoil. It helped me right now.

Just use the UMS function via Hekate.

Tinfoil can not find files on USB
