Emmc GPP (eMMC USER) Partition Table : Empty

[Peeta01]

Hi All,

Need help...

I just partition the sd card from hekate.

Create the emuMMC in the partition.

I went to check the eMMC info. under GPP (eMMC User) Partition table: "Parition table is empty"

Is that what its suppose to read?

Been getting invalid GPT Signature, fatal error when running Fusee.

SD card info is there and doesnt state "Fake"

There should be 10 partitions under GPP partition table, like PRODINFO, USER, SYSTEM and some BCPKG2-xxx partitions. Can you still boot to stock system? Sounds like your emmc is messed up.

When i boot the ofw from hekate i get the following error:
Unknown pkg1 version
HOS version not supported!
Try backing up bootloader...
Found pkg1 <'2022020910018'>
Unknown pkg1 version
HOS version not supported!
Failed to launch HOS!

How can i tell if my emmc is messed up?

Bro your console can't boot to ofw and all your emmc partitions are gone, what did you do in hekate? Did you mount your emmc to pc and format it? Or you got the console in non working condition? Restore your back up right now if you followed the guide and made one. Otherwise you need to follow the guide here to rebuild your emmc. Make a backup first, maybe someone can help you restore the original prodinfo partition, otherwise say goodbye to nintendo online.

Honestly, i did nothing but partition create emummC. Then i keep getting fatal error on GPT. Which i thought was from the exfat sd. Then i reformat it to fat32. Everything boots but i was never successful in booting to atmosphere. Then i looked at the Emmc partition in hekate and it was empty. I tried booking ofw got the pkg 1 and HOS error. fudge. Guess i have to go find me a used switch now.

Thanks!

Can you boot w/o Hekate…as in complete stock?

maybe go through Maintenance Mode?

I’m just throwing stuff out there, because damn, it sucks to lose a Switch.

If like OP said he did nothing but creating emummc and partitioning sd card in hekate, maybe the emmc chip just died coincidentally. Post a picture of your emmc info in hekate, iirc there's a part where it tells you how much life your emmc chip got.

Also if it's a switch v1/ chipped v2, you can buy a replacement emmc module on aliexpress for like $10. Just need to rebuild the emmc partitions following the guide, but you won't be able to connect to nintendo switch online anymore. If it's a lite or oled you probably need to take it to a repair shop as you need to desolder the old emmc chip and solder in a new one.

Thanks! Let me give it some thought. I dont think i have anything backup for the emmc. as you can see from the OP i just started the parition and creating the emuMMC which was never successful.
