If you get error 2168-0002 or similar errors when trying to use homebrew apps, or trying to install any .nro's or nsp's, this is what I did to fix it. After days of throwing everything at the damn thing, I'm up and running and back to normal. I'll list everything I did, but I'm pretty sure what fixed it is installing ReinX and removing atmosphere AND/OR upgrading my firmware.
Only problem I have now is that Goldbricks either freezes when I connect to USB, or it can't find any files. I'm using an alternative method that works fine, though.
The problem started after I tried using a new SD.
- First thing I did was remove Atmosphere and tried setting it up from a fresh download.
- After that didn't work, I tried launching the homebrew app store by running the nro through goldleaf (people online were saying you have to do this because there's not enough memory in applet mode).
- After that also didn't work and I tried to weasel my way around it 6 ways from Sunday, I nuked my sd card totally reformatted. First I formatted through the Switch's options, then I formatted to FAT32 via PC. Then I tried building a whole new SD card from the set-up. Surely it would work this time.
- You get the idea by now it didn't work of course it didn't. So then I tried just installing ReinX and hbmenu to see if I could do that.
- It worked! Just kidding. It didn't work either. At first. First it wouldn't let me into the menu at all. Title override was not functioning. I read that you can get around this by using hekate, so I installed all that stuff. This caused ReinX to hang after the first splash image. Something told me I should try again, but copy over the ReinX files from the sd builder with the files I had downloaded directly from ReinX's website.
