Hacking [Need Help ASAP] My Switch is no longer booting up past Atmosphere logo

[bloodfalco]

Got a SD Card reader?
If so, format it with GUIformat.

Thanks for replying, but at this time, I have formatted my micro SD card using luma3ds godmode9, because after I formatted my SD card there, my Switch can recognize it immediately.

if everything is ok now just copy your Nintendo folder back on then reboot and providing your using the correct sigpatches everything should be ok, games and homebrew should all be working

Okay bro, I will try first and get back to you soon.

 

[bloodfalco]

It is already booting up and recognize all the games, but now all of them "Unable to start software" After updating sigpatches, no problem already

I am using Atmosphere 0.12.

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

Is it possible my SD card reader is broken? I mean the one on switch

Btw, now if I want to install games, how to do it using USB? Is it using tinfoil or goldleaf? When I use goldleaf, it took a very long time to just load my PC. Also the same when using tinfoil. (Both of Goldleaf and Tinfoil were used when I am using exFAT, not yet tried using FAT32)

I hope everyone can help me with installing issue.

I always use tinfoil to install my games but its funny what cfw it will work on, im using https://github.com/borntohonk/NEUTOS/releases/tag/0.12.0
on the latest firmware it includes all necessary sigpatches for tinfoil and your games to work, this is on 3 separate switches ive done with no problems so far

I mean bro. How do I install NSP now? Provided some of NSPs is bigger than 4 GB. Now that my uSD is FAT32, it cannot load NSP more than 4 GB

You can split nsps with splitnsp then you can put them on your fat32 SD card, that's how I do it

What homebrew do you install with? Goldleaf 0.8 or tinfoil 8.1.0?

 

[bloodfalco]

I hope anyone can help me

 

[bloodfalco]

@Mr.Bing may I know what tools do you use to install back all of them to one piece?

 

[phil87]

tinfoil with the nut.exe app to install from pc via usb

tinfoil with the nut.exe app to install from pc via usb

I have tried this before, but tinfoil did not load up my folder that have nsp in it.

The same also applies with Goldleaf, Quark also not working

 

[bloodfalco]

@phil87 Sorry for always asking. Because this is the first time I use FAT32 FS for Switch. Previously when I bought the system, it was formatted to exFAT

 

[bloodfalco]

Anyone can help to answer for my problem?

Maybe you should do some troubleshooting on your side. What phil87 told you is correct. Tinfoil with nut on the pc works perfectly for me too. If it works for everyone and not for you, sorry to say, but the problem is on your end. If you want help, be more descriptive of your difficulties.

Alright then, when I tried use nut and access my PC folder containing NSP from tinfoil itself, it freezes. I tried many times (tried using applet mode and non-applet mode) but the issue persist, when it tried to open my PC folder containing NSP, it froze.

The same happens with Quark, when I tried to install, it suddenly not detecting my Switch while the icon in Goldleaf, clearly shows as USB connected. Also when I am using Goldleaf itself to access my PC folder, it froze.

However, all of them happens when I am using exFAT micro sd card. I have not yet tried using FAT32 micro sd card.

Also regarding splitnsp, can anyone provide a link or a guide how to do it? Because I am at my wits end already.

Normally you would run nut first before launching Tinfoil. If you can display your nsp files in nut, then it should upload them fine to your Switch. Are you sure your USB drivers are installed correctly? Are you able to use TegraRcmGUI on Windows to push a payload to your Switch? If yes, your USB drivers should be ok. Note that I'm mainly using Linux, and I use nut (python version) but it should be very similar with nut.exe on Windows.

Yes I am able to use TegraRCMGUI on Windows. The USB driver is libUSBk right? I also had used a software something called Zadig in order to make sure the libUSBk for Quark and Nut.

Could you give me a tutorial also for Linux? I am using Linux Mint Debian Edition

 

[Dust2dust]

Oh, I didn't know you're also using Linux. That should help you. Get nut here > https://github.com/blawar/nut/archive/master.zip
Unzip, and read the README.MD file, particularly the USAGE section. It should tell you everything you need to know for installation.
