Hacking Nintendo Switch doesn't start the cfw after update with choidujournx

[Hayato213]

so i have to replace the card reader, this is the solution only for atmosphere or the fix is the same for the cfw that doesn't start?

You can try another card if it also doesn't boot, good chance your reader is no good.

If i replace the card reader it can be fixed?

If your slot is mssing pins, you might have to solder wires, have you tried another card, what brand you are using?

I tried another card, now i'm going to school (in Italy is 8:23 AM now) so i can't tell you what brand is it my sd card.

i'm using Kingston sd card, i have 2 sd card with kingston brand, the size is 32 gb and the other sd card 128 gb

In Windows, right click on the SD card and make sure it says FAT32, just to make sure it worked correctly. The 32GB card should be FAT32 by default. Try dragging a clean copy of atmosphere on the 32GB and nothing else (besides maybe Hekate if you use it) and see if it boots.

If your switch was working fine before updating, I highly doubt it's a problem with your SD card reader unless when you took the SD card out to update atmosphere you were extremely rough with it or something

okay, anyways my switch was working fine before update

I do all packages you need if you want too

 

[Essometer]

Have you installed the latest Hekate?

 

[zDaniel__]

yes

once your card is formated to FAT32 ;

copy only the nintendo folder on your sd card (this is your games)

download latest Hekate + Nyx , put the files on your card , *do not use your old files*

download latest atmosphere + fusee-primary + Sig patches , put files on your SD card .*do not use your old files*

put card in switch

hold power button for 30+ sec until black screen , 30 sec is overkill just in case .

boot RCM with the Jig (hold volume up with Jig and press power )

Push Hekate bin file , then boot fusee primary .

when i start hekate it says to me this:

SD Card Issues Check

Your SD Card is initialized in 1-bit mode!
This might mean detached or broken connector!

You might want to check

Console Info -> SD Card

does it matter? And, if this matter, how i fix it?

It will make reading files from your SD card super slow. As your second question, Hekate tells you how to address the issue.

i ordered a new micro sd reader for the switch, if i replace the micro sd card reader will it work?

i ordered a new micro sd reader for the switch, if i replace the micro sd card reader will it work?

I mean if the issue is the micro SD reader, then replacing should solve it right?

If the issue is not with the connector on the mobo that the SD reader daughterboard connects to. That one is very difficult to replace and requires some serious skill with a hot air station.
