Hacking OFW Errors and Game Cartridge Difficulties

[Abstract3000]

So after finally getting things sorted and Migrating SX to Atmosphere, I have ran into another issue I Was hoping I could get some assistance on before digging my self deeper.

I have an Erista Non Patched Switch. The OFW is on 5.1.0 Burnt Fuses ODM 7/6, Running Atmosphere EmuNand from the SD Card on FW 12.0.0

Somewhere in the mix I lost the ability to boot back into my OFW, so I did a NAND restore, at one point I did swap the OFW to 5.1.0|AMS M.19.4|S but as you can see it has always remained on 5.1.0

So at this point I can diabled Auto RCM and boot into the OFW like normal as long as there is no Game Cartridge Inserted, otherwise I get the Error Code: 2002-### referring to that issue, As well Atmosphere flags me with the error upon booting into the Emunand. I assume this is due to the Cartridge Slot getting an update at some point, and now everything is contradicting itself in regards to the extra fuse being burnt, and the OFW not recognizing the update. My assumption is I need to update the OFW to correct the issue, and I understand at some point there is no going backwards, and honestly I'm fine with that as I can't see a reason as to why I would need to go backwards as the capabilities have all been unlocked.

Any assistance on my assumptions If I'm correct or If I'm dead wrong, would be appreciated and what suggestions you might have in how I should go about resolving this issue. As of now As long as a cartridge isn't inserted I have all access of the OFW, and Minus the cartridge slot the Emunand works just fine.

Thanks for your time.

Decided to upgrade the OFW to 9.0.1, though the Cartridge slot still throws cannot read Cartridge Errors... any suggestions as to how to get the Game Cartridge slot working again?

Try a fresh install of atmosphere - delete everything related to it from your SD and grab a new set of files from the Github. Do the same for Hekate if youre using it. Before you boot up your switch, remove the game card.

I had this problem a few versions ago, i think it has something to do with a game cart slot update in a recent OFW release.

Thanks for the advice I can easily replicate this with a new MicroSD, though my only thoughts on this when Atmosphere isn't in the Picture and I pull my memory card and just boot straight into the OFW with Auto RCM turned off, the Memory Card reader doesn't work either, so it seems Something else is the issue, but I'll give it a shot.

As you downgraded your OFW and rolled back your logs when you restored the NAND, you might get flagged for a ban if you go online.
Update back to the exact version you were at (including exFAT/no exFAT depending on what you had) before the downgrade (which presumably is newer than 9.0.1 as you still have game cart issues) by using Daybreak, and then update to the latest by official means. To minimize the risk of a ban, but the logs will still be mismatched.

Thanks for the suggestion but as mentioned in my 1st post the oriiginal OFW was 5.1.0, and I updated to 5.1.0|AMS M.19.4|S and flashed the Nand back to 5.1.0. I just updated it to 9.0.1 as that seems to be where the Cartridge Slot was updated. I don't believe I have ever gone backwards... I appreciate for the concern on online but My switch is in Airplane mode with no Registered Wifi Networks, No particular interest in online. I honestly would like to go back to consoles without the capability, patches and upgrades etc. is a headache

Maybe you have to update the firmware even higher. There were additional cartridge slot updates past firmware 9.0.1

your running cfw on sysnand it seems like. are you using hekate to launch atmosphere or fusee-primary?

Using Fusee to boot Atmosphere, is this the wrong way to go about it?

Thanks for the suggestion, I just updated to 11.0 to the next Cartridge update, My Current Version is 11.0.0|AMS M.19.5|E so I think I should have both in line with What the cartridge slot would want...?
