Hi,
i replaces my 64GB SC card by a 128GB SD card, both are formatted to Fat32.

I copied all the files from the 64gb to the new one but now when i press select it shows Luma 8.0 Config screen so i believ its the luma on CTRNand.
When pressing start on power on it will automatically load GM9 :( without starting the chainloader selection and without SD mounted
when i try to Remount SD Card with R+B it says "Initialising SD card failed!"

but when the system is fully up at home menu it will start all like before from the new SD card.

Does someone have some hints how to enable luma chainloader again -> or better booting from SD boot.firm ?

best regards,
Thomas

Try the 128gb without any files on it (just reformat it to fat32 again)

I just need to ask, but are you sure its Fat32 and not exFat32, also have you run the usual checks on the card to make sure it's not a fake one?

That is the same link I used when updating to my 64gb card, it was simple. I hope it fixes your issue.

The HP formatting tool does not change the card to fat32 the guide you linked should work.

The HP Tool lets you change the File System to FAT32, my card is FAT32 and cluster size is 32kb, but it will not work with GM9 so maybe there is something wrong with the partitions.

after following the guide it works now fine :-) chainloader is working again
