I got something weird going on. I switched to stock sysnand today cause I was gonna do some legit updates with Mario Kart but I didn't know there was a sys update. I went to switch back to cfw to update all that stuff before doing the v16 update but all of a sudden I can't launch the hetake payload. I tried using the newer .bin and it's all booting right back to stock sysnand. The injector says everything is fine and the payload is injected properly. Any help would be appreciated, all that's changed on my SD was dragging the fresh bootloader folder and hetake.bin to my sd and replacing.

Something else has changed some where. Please share the contents of your /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini file.
 
Don't forget to hit the "Quote" or "Reply" button if you want to answer a question, or else the person you're replying to won't be notified of your post. I also recommend to update your emunand. Unless you want to play online, you should probably leave your sysnand untouched. Look for darthsternie and use daybreak to update.
I've edited the original message with the quote, for some reason it wasn't included in the quick reply section on the bottom of the page. I didn't upgrade my emuNAND since it wasn't mentioned in the setup guide that I've followed, once I've figured out it was necessary I've upgraded to 16 and everything seems to be working fine in terms of applications. Of course, I don't want to touch the sysNAND, never upgraded and never connected to the Internet.

What's the mostly used method of installing XCI or NSP files through USB? I've tried awoo but only NSP files seem to be working and XCI returns different types of errors when used in conjunction with NS USB loader.

Try DBI‘s MTP over USB. No need for NS USB Loader…just drag and drop…DBI does the rest and it’s super fast!

  • DBI — Capable feature filled and fast installer.
  • Tinwoo — A nice installer for when you just want to install.
  • Tinfoil — Polished installer. Recommend the Self installing version.
  • Goldleaf — The kitchen sink but it can also install games.
 
Anyone using browser in Switch CFW for playing in Cloud with Gamepass/GFNow/Boosteroid? Everything are OK? No lagging, problems with controls?

Thanks a lot, but tinfoil keeps on giving 'could not start software' errors.
Does it have to do with the sigpatches?
 
Just curious a little because I have just receive a brand new OLED as birthday gift from my wife, as of now, there is no way (homebrew, overlay,...) that can help Mariko model to "reboot to payload" (r2p) directly like Erista, right?
Everytime I want to change to CFW EmuNAND and CFW SysNAND, I have to power off completely and turn it on again.

Correct. No reboot to payload that I’m aware of for Mariko.

Somebody went in and removed the safeguard from fastCFWSwitch homebrew but it doesn’t actually work. :-/

Yes, most likely.

Sigpatches (GBATemp) — get your Sigpatches here!

That's suck. Is there any homebrew or overlay that helps me in "Power Off" easily? I'm tired of holding Power button

I second DBI. Never had a problem with it. It will install anything... xci, nsp, nsz, xcz, you name it. (are there any other formats?) You can install with a backend, or with MTP, as binkinator mentioned. I actually don't have any other installer in my homebrew stuff. I just need the best one.

You have autoboot=3 set (which selects the third entry, which is Stock-sysMMC)
You also have bootwait=0 (which means execute the selected boot entry immediately.)

I recommend you change them to read:

autoboot=2
bootwait=1

This way it normally autoboots to the second entry (CFW - emuMMC) but flashes the Hekate boot screen and gives you one full second to press (Vol -) in order to stop the boot and drop into Hekate if you want. This is how Imset mine up…

I've updated the sigpatches but the error persists.
DBI works fine although a bit slower than awoo (15 mb/s from 33-45) and some apps (mostly old ones)) that I've tried to install are installed successfully but do not open from the home menu (same error message as tinfoil)

Please detail how you install the patches.

1) download .zip file…

This worked thank you. Back in emmunand now.

So I've updated atmosphere now, should I update the emunand first then go back to stock and update ofw to 16. Or do stock first then emunand

I've copied the unpacked folders and merged them into the atmosphere folder. The 2 new folders inside atmosphere contain the sigpatches.
Ok…great…just wanted to make sure we were on the same page.

This should have gotten rid of the error.

You don’t happen to be on a Mac, right?

If so let’s try to Fix Archive Bit in Hekate -> Tools

if none of this works I suggest we completely remove Tinfoil and reinstall it from scratch.

Will bringing an emunand with only atmosphere present online have a pretty decent chance of being banned if homebrew etc has been used previously but is no longer present?
