Hello everyone,

I'm not sure if these types of questions are welcome here but I'm new to all this.

I used ChoiDujourNX to update my firmware to 9.2.0 using this Youtube guide ().
I did everything the same (just used my desired firmware instead + SX OS 3.0.0 BETA) but instead of clicking ExFat when it came to installing the firmware I instead just clicked on 9.2.0.

This resulted in my Switch now taking a long time to boot and then giving me an error that I need to do a system update in order to use my Micro SD card. I can't access the homebrew from the Switch anymore since the card isn't being read at all.

Anyone know what should I do?

EDIT 1: I booted my Switch into Original System (official Nintendo one) and updated it to 10.0.4. Now the Switch reads the Micro SD card but I can't get into SX OS menu even when I hold Power + while booting. Any suggestions?

First, never use YouTube guides. They're often wrong and/or out of date.

As for the problem, you didn't install exFAT support. Either reformat your SD card as FAT32 or use a different SD card that's on FAT32 to reinstall the update with exFAT support.

Reformatting your main SD card as FAT32 is highly recommended, since exFAT is a lot more likely to cause corruption issues anyway.

Wish I waited for your response. I booted my Switch into Original System (official Nintendo one) and updated it to 10.0.4. Now the Switch reads the Micro SD card but I can't get into SX OS menu even when I hold Power + while booting. Any suggestions?

Did you enter RCM and push the CFW payload?

Oh, man the jig! Yeah, everything works fine now. Latest SX OS, latest firmware at the expense of a few burned fuses (I guess?).

Thanks for the support. I always go paranoid whenever something unexpected happens with homebrew.

If you're using CFW, it is recommended that you use 90DNS or Incognito to prevent being banned. The fact that you were able to connect to Nintendo's servers to do an official update suggests you haven't done this.

You should also backup the contents of your SD card and reformat it as FAT32 in order to avoid corruption issues down the road.
