Hello everyone.

I just bought a Switch Lite (serial: XJJx) hacked. It ran perfectly at that moment with AMS (newest ver.) but my OFW stays at 12.0.3.

And with my super high of stupidity and lack of knowledge, I accidentally format the switch’s SD card by using the format feature on Switch (at that moment I ran OFW via Hekate boot).

Now my Switch keeps showing BOOT.DAT? screen everytime I press power button. I tried recovery programs to recover data from the SD card but it couldn’t (found the old data but could not recover).

One more thing is my SD card (after formatted by Switch) is empty, no files on it.

Please, GBATemp’s community, help me with this problem. I don’t know what to do. Sorry for my bad english.

Yes, that one should make you Lite boot to the SX OS menu, what else you do need for booting atmos i canøt help with, never played around with the SX chips

Thank you. It's worked. I manage to boot SXOS and load hekate boot. But from there Idk what to do next.

I tried to boot OFW from SXOS menu but I got black screen.

Please help me restore HOS from Hekate or from SXOS menu.

Ps: I did it. I got into HOS. Thank you guys.

Glad you got it working
I have a another question.

How can I change the boot sequence?

Mine right now is boot sxos then load payload.bin (which is hekate) then reboot (it will ask OFW/Normal) and choose OFW, machine will boot into ofw.

I want to boot to amosphere but Idk how.
