Hello. I have an hacked switch with ReiNX v2.2.1.
Today i bought an original Fire Emblem Three Houses copy and after i inserted it,my switch asked me to update the system. I accepted. After the update was done my switch rebooted.
Since then my switch never turned on
ever again. Payload is injected successufully but the screen stays black.

So...did i do a major mistake? What exactly happened. Is there any solution ? Thank you.

I updated reiNX to the last version.

Now after i inject the payload i see the reiNX logo for a while and then a black screen. My TegraRcmGUI shows the message: RCM device disconnected.
It is like the reiNEX booting process stops half the way.

Any ideas? :/

Where exactly are you getting Atmosphere from or have you tried to get it from any other sites? I had similar problems before and seeing the Reinx screen before it went to nowhere. Try to use the Atmosphere that comes with Kosmos.

Try deleting your old atmosphere/ReiNX and other folders off your SD card then place the fresh files back onto it.
Do you have autoRCM installed?
Can you boot normally in OFW?

I already got atmosphere from Kosmos (github atlasNX kosmos --> costumize Kosmos --> sd setup --> kosmos defaults).

Yes, i have autoRCM installed.

So, in heckagte if i select CFW (sysnand) the screen stays black and i can't do anything.
Stock (Sysnand) is working. Version is 8.0.1. At least i can play original games in this mode.

I don't know if is relevant but when i boot stock(sysnand) a message appears:
microSDCX card has been inserted. To use this SD card, please preform a system update. Should i accept?
My sd card was working fine until this problem started. (

Thank you for your help. I hope there is a solution for this and i am just being stupid xD

Your SDcard is formated with ExFat right?
Don't do that to yourself. Format it to fat32 using guiformat or any other tool.

If its not that, do you have a "sept" folder on the root of your SD?

Thank you so much!!!!!!
I formated my sd card to fat32. Everything is working fine now.

However i read somewhere that fat32 files have a 4gb maximum? Is this true?

That is correct, it's the filesystem that can't support bigger than 4gb files.

It is only limited with you copy file directly to the SD card, there is no limit when you do USB install via goldleaf/tinfoil etc.

That's great. Now all my problems are solved.
I want to thanks everyone that helped me :) this is a great community.
