Just switched from SXOS to Atmosphere (latest version) ,
first boot worked flawless using tegraRcmGui, second time i try to boot i get a black:
a fatal error occurred when running fusée Invalid gpt signature

Already tried formatting sd card and reinstalling everything from scratch but this error keeps coming back.

spend hours online looking for a fix bit can't find one.

one guy said on another forum:
Are you coming from SXOS?

If yes, try this:

  • - put your SXOS boot.dat + license in the SD Card root
  • - power on, press vol+ button
  • - go to option > SX Core/Lite > Clean Up
  • - restart, press Vol+
  • - Payload > load hekate payload.bin
  • - launch AMS emuMMC from there and see if it works
The background here is that SXOS messes with the GPT table which is detected in newer firmwares / AMS, hence preventing a boot. I had this with several other SXOS switches, and cleaning up does the trick.

i can't find SX Core/Lite > Clean Up , but i do find NAND-> repair GPT.
Tried that but does not fix.
Any suggestions are welcome!

Hi, i did the same thing as you to switch my SX OS to Atmosphere months ago.
Worked perfectly but i keeped the ExFat.

Yesterday i tried to format my SD card to FAT32.
So i backed up all my folders on my PC, format the Sdcard and back my files on my switch.
And now i have exactly the same error : "a fatal error occurred when running fusée Invalid gpt signature"

I tried to switch back to ExFat and now the error seems happening...

What did you do exactly on SDSetup please ?
I tried the minimal one and seems not to working after booting Hekate.
Did i miss something ?

Thank you in advance.

PS : Ho i forget, i have an EmuMMC which worked well on atmosphere (it was an old EmuMmc converted from SXOS)
PS2 : It reminds me, i had a 29GB partition on my ExFat which wasn't used before i formated to FAT32, did i make a mess when i formated the whole SD card to FAT32 ?

Try repairing the emuMMC via Hekate.

Hello there, I haven't been on a console's scene since PSP times. I started trying to jailbreak my brother's Switch (bought on March 2017, unpatched).

I have made back ups:
BOOT0 & BOOT1
eMMC RAW GPP

I can boot Hekate but I can't reach atmosphere. Atmosphere starts booting but something happens and then Nintendo Switch banner appears. The other best attemp I have achieved told me the same message as the OP's.

I may have messed up with the exFAT and FAT32 formats. My MicroSD card is 200GB, so I get 29 GB on one side and 154GB on the other one. I am pretty lost at the moment. I have decided to erase everything and start all over again another day because I was getting pretty frustrated looking for that mistake I have probably made in one of my steps.

Thanks for any help in advance

About a month ago I upgraded from a 512GB to a 1TB SD card. I did this by using mini partition wizard to copy my EMUnand, then recreated the regular partition and copied over all files (this was the only way I figured out how to expand the partition, no tools would work. Since then I’ve been working fine until today when I started downloading and adding a bunch of new games. Suddenly the switch crashed and I tried to reboot. Kept getting invalid gpt signature when trying to launch fusee. Reading this thread I decided I would try the repair function in Hekate. Now it says “Package2 meta is invalid!”. I can’t get back into my EMUnand. Any suggestions please? I really don’t want to start over totally fresh, I have a LOT of games, saves, etc.

Try restoring the backups you made.

    i dont know why tv manufactures put the hdmi ports in dumb locations so the cables have to stick out, and then down, putting strain on the ports. Instead of having the ports along the bottom edge of the tv facing downwards.
