Hacking Hekate 5.0.1 Vol up for SX bricks EmuMMC on Atmos

[kylum]

Couldn't find how to fix my issue or remove the vol+ during the boot delay. Anyway, I accidentally pressed vol+ instead of vol- during the delay window and seen a message about SX and license.dat which was created at that time. I’m not using SX or have I ever. This made EmuMMC not bootable and the only thing that fixed it for me was to recreate the partition.

Is there a way to disable this altogether for non-SX users? I have a trinket installed and plan on redoing the straps to make stock bootable but this will require the Vol+ Button and I foresee this being an issue that might reoccur.

Update: So apparently the button press is unrelated. It happened again and this time there was no button press. Will have to investigate more...

Mods please close thread as the title could be misleading and I’m an idiot. It was partition issue in my part. Putting my SD back in my computer was the problem. With both partitions set as primary windows would mess up the EmuMMC partition. Once I made the EmuMMC logical than windows couldn’t see it and asks to format it(don’t format it at this point because you already did). Now everything works and I can put my sd back in the PC when ever without EmuMMC getting corrupt.

Thanks

How did you make the second partition logical?

How did you make the second partition logical?

There are several partition programs to choose from. I used AOMEI Partition Assistant. When choosing to format the second partition you should have an option to make it primary or logical, it’s under advanced I believe, not home to verify. This fixed my issue. I also plan on utilizing nxmtp to avoid having to remove my SD card, it is confirmed to work on all FW even though it has not been maintained or updated since release. It just works.

Hope this is helpful to you!
