Hi everyone
I’ve installed an HWFLY modchip on my Nintendo Switch Lite, and I’m having trouble getting Atmosphere to boot. The device shows the Atmosphere logo briefly, then shuts down. I can access Hekate, but I’m unable to boot into either emuMMC or OFW.
System Details & Problem Summary
• Device: Switch Lite with HWFLY modchip
• Issue: Atmosphere shows the logo for about a second, then the device powers off. I can’t boot into OFW either.
• Status: Able to access Hekate, partition the SD, and create emuMMC without errors.
Steps I’ve Tried So Far
1. Tried Multiple Software Versions:
• Tested around 10 different versions of Hekate, Atmosphere, and sigpatches, including the HATS pack from Sthetix (worked fine on my other device).
• Manually installed Hekate, Atmosphere, and sigpatches from tutorials, but still no luck.
2. Switched SD Cards:
• Tested with three different SD cards (one brand new), formatted to both FAT32 and exFAT.
3. Checked Hekate Configuration:
• Used hekate_ipl.ini files from the HATS pack and other tutorials. Haven’t written my own configuration file but followed trusted sources closely.
4. Tried Booting Without the Modchip:
• Attempted to bypass the modchip by holding VOL+ and VOL- during startup. No change in behavior.
5. Backup and Restore Questions:
• Wondering if I should attempt a NAND backup and restore on the same device, or if there’s any advantage to it.
Any suggestions or guidance would be hugely appreciated. Let me know if there’s any other info I should include!
Thanks in advance!
