Hacking Question Reformat/NSP Install Error

[burial]

So my SD card got corrupted so I had to reformat and I made it fat32 while I was at it.

But after reformatting Im having a problem installing some NSPs...."An Error occurred...hold down power for 12 seconds....blahblahblah"

So what is causing this?

And one of the icons is a blank with the loading circle and I cant start it or delete it or anything.

You left out the most crucial info. What CFW and what FW version?

Not sure about the errors. Providing as much detail as possible is helpful. The times I've gotten the loading circle was because the game required higher FW. If you reformatted and you're now getting errors then that sounds like a bad sd card.

Im using SXOS and I was on 6.1 or 6.2 OFW.....but heres the odd thing, now its on 5.2 ofw. and the year of the internal clock is 2021.

Did I accidentally downgrade? Go thru a time portal?

Should I just go ahead and upgrade or wait for more info?

I can't imagine how someone could accidentally downgrade. Maybe your switch is demon-possessed. Were you messing with choidujour or something? Or with creating emunand? Hard to say without knowing precisely what you were doing right before. First time I've ever heard of a switch jumping FW's like that.
