Hacking Hekate will not load!

[Akwiz]

Hello all.

So I have a switch that is susceptible to fusse-gelee on 6.2.0. Freshly initialized. I have a FAT32 SD that I have loaded fresh with Atmosphere from sdsetup.com. I can boot into RCM and push Hekate 4.9.1. It works. Flashes the Atmosphere logo a bunch of times and in small text says "Atmosphere Fusee!" after which it goes to the switch logo and boots to the switch OFW. I never actually get to the Hekate menu.

What am I missing here? This is my second switch. My first is running CFW without any issues. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

So. The Hekate 4.10.1.bin causes TegraRCM to hang and crash. Downloaded the latest Tegra to 2.5 and now it does push the payload successfully but I just get a black screen. Like its just sitting in RCM mode doing nothing. From my Tegra:

did you remove all the old file except the nintendo folder? you should be able to inject hekate without the SD card.

did you remove all the file except the nintendo folder?

Yes, it was a totally new SD with nothing on it. I did boot into OFW to get the Nintendo folder but its just the 12.2 release from Atlas and nothing else.

You can push Hekate.bin then let it load then insert the SD card.

Alright so that did allow me to get into the Hekate menu. After which I boot to CFW and it goes through the loading text, I get the green at the bottom... and then switch logo. Boots to OFW.

Maybe I will try with exfat?

No, don't use exfat, it is corruption prone, what cfw you trying to boot?

You are in CFW. It does not look any different from OFW.

No I checked the album and it tells me there are no screenshots taken on this device.

Atmosphere. Whatever version is in the Kosmos 12.2 release.

Also, just an update. I switched my USB cable. I think something was wrong with it. My payload pushes faster and reliably now and I get the atmosphere logo after pushing payload everytime. The thing is.. I can still only ever get to the hekate menu with the SD card out of the switch. Maybe I can try the SD from my main switch.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I am an idiot... Apparently the rules have changed in the new homebrew menu and you have to hold R now... I did not know this haha. Really appreciate the help anyways guys! Take care.

Yeah that was my next suggestion, hold R to see the HBMenu .

The reason why you don't get to the Hekate menu is because Kosmos sets it to autoboot Atmosphere. Look in your hekate_ipl.ini and turn autoboot off if you want to get into Hekate.
