Hacking Gaming Homebrew SD Card Corrupted & Needing Help Going Forward

[anqelicdoll]

I was trying to update my CFW on my modded switch when my SD card corrupted. I was trying to get the files off it onto my PC when it again came up with an error at 90% complete, I'm not sure what I'm missing on the SD card and what files were updated or not when I was trying to update the CFW.

My problem going forward is that I'm not sure what to do at all. I have a new SD card that is much smaller than the original one (32gb, my old one was a 128gb).

What do I need to do to get my homebrew back onto my switch alongside my games and stuff? Am I possibly doomed into never getting my modded switch back at all because of this? :/

Also it's been brought to my attention that there's been a new Nintendo system update so I'm aware to not update my switch at the moment due to it patching the mods and CFW itself so I have refrained from updating my switch right now, my Atmosphere was on 1.7.0 update as I had not used my switch in a while.

Thank you very much for your help.

Do I need to delete this from my SD card before doing this? At the moment it has this inside of it - assuming it's from the corruption as I have no idea what it is at all and it was all of my homebrew stuff.

Copy your data off it before testing.

it won't lemme copy it because the "file name is invalid or too long" and when i try and rename it it won't let me do that either

Then just delete them, reformat and test the card.

it won't even let me delete them for some strange reason? should i just get rid of the sd card and downgrade to my SanDisk 32gb sd card??

See if you can format the card.

it said format failed

You probably got a card that stuck in read mode only. You can use the 32gb if you want but that ain't a lot of space.

First of all what sd card are you using? Please don't buy cheap sd cards off amazon/ebay/aliexpress if you care about your data at all.

You can use sd card fromatter (link here: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/ ) to format your sd card, even if windows fails to format it. This program fixed many corrupted cards for me before. Then you can use guiformat to format it into fat32: http://ridgecrop.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm
