Hacking Another noob question with issue,

[kimolottie]

Hey guys I ran into another issue and was wondering if anyone could give me some solutions to my issue here. Ok so I went and just bought a new sd card for my switch went from a 32gb to a 64gb. I copied all my files from my old sd card onto the new one and booted into rcm. Here is where I run into problems....I go to cfw and click boot and it shows the Nintendo logo and then goes black and back to rcm mode where I have to inject the payload again? any one have any solutions to how I can fix this??

also I try to boot in normal mode and it does the same thing. Just goes to rcm mode again...

Going to take a stab. Your CFW is SX OS. You created a hidden partition for Emunand. You copied your files across but couldn't see the Emunand partition / forgot. When in SX OS boot menu and trying to boot Emunand, it can't find the Emunand partition.

Am I close?

I never ran SX OS. I just used the free stuff. I honestly didn't see anything special about the SX OS that made it want me to get it

I don't have a clue about anything of this, but still I am gonna tell a tale based on nothing but imagination.

You had a 32GB card formatted in FAT32, copied all your info to a 64GB card formatted in exFat, your Switch didn't have exFat drivers installed, and for some reason that I just made up that matters and makes the boot process fail.

yea you nailed it there. I didn't think honestly this would happen. im going to try to switch back to my 32gb and see if that fixes anything. although its updated to 6.0.1 so I thought that update had the exfat drivers already on the switch.

I don't think not having the exFAT driver would prevent the console from booting at all, but it's worth a try at least.

ok so going back to the old sd card fixed it...im glad about that now can anyone give me some information on how I can go about and using the 64gb sd card??

Are you using a Windows machine?
Try formatting the 64GB card in FAT32 and copying everything from the old card to the new card again. You can use some tools from the internet to format in FAT32, Fat32formatter or so.

If you are using a machine with macOS, I noticed back in the day that some folders are not copied correctly, as in they don't have the intentionally-illegal creation date that the Switch uses for them and the system complains about it afterwards, happened to me at least with the album, the Switch ignored all the pictures and videos I had in the old card.

 

[kimolottie]

well honestly the only reason I got the 64 gig card was so I can add some bigger games to it as I ran into the dang 4gb issue. cant transfer any games over 4gigs. so I was thinking that being on the 6.0 fw id been able to use the exfat sd card so I can transfer over the 4gb limit and add more games. oh and im using a windows computer.

You could format your 32gb card to exFAT and copy greater than. 4gb files. Just need exFAT driver update which you should have. What sysnand firmware version do you have?

Try copying everything except the Nintendo folder.
