I accidentally removed my SD while booted into atmosphere, and naturally it crashed. I tried rebooting to payload (hekate), but it couldn't do it and so it shut down. Now I can't push any payloads when I boot into RCM. Fusee-interfacee-tk-linux detects the device, but when I try to push hekate, the switch does nothing.

This is going to sound dumb, but charge it (if you haven't already) Update everything, then hold the power button for 15 seconds, then press it again briefly. For some reason this has fixed all of my switch booting issues.

I can boot fine, and I've confirmed it's going into RCM, it's just that I can't launch hekate to boot into atmosphere.

may be your SD Card get corrupted.

First at all without a SD card inserted, try to inject this payload: (Attached file fusee-test) if it work is an indication your console is fine.

Then on your computer, backup all files on your SD card to your pc, format the card to fat 32 using fat32 format (https://gbatemp.net/download/gui-format.33869/) then test your sd card using H2Testw (https://www.heise.de/download/product/h2testw-50539) . If you use a RAW partition EmuNAND be careful to not format it.

If all got well, download NEW hekate from github https://github.com/CTCaer/Hekate/releases (if you use it), and Atmosphère also from GitHub https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases and extract to the new formated and tested SD Card, try to inject your normal payload (update it if you use hekate or fusee.bin)

if your card is corrupt, you will need a new card.

after you confirm you can start CFW, restore your files from backup and update any sysmodule, theme, etc. you

And let us to know the result
