I just updated to Atmosphere 0.10.1 and Hekate 5.1.0.
Now I can't return to Hekate from emuNAND (CFW).
Restarting or using Reboot to Payload just reboots emuNAND.
UPDATE: I fixed the issue. I didn't have to restore my NAND, but I did wipe my SD card and format to fat32... and then I put the latest Hekate and Atmosphere on my card. I also made sure that I had updated the /bootloader folder. I could then get out of the bootloop, but I had a message that it failed to apply the sigcheck, so I had to create the patches.ini file and put it in the /bootloader folder as well. Once I did this, I am now able to boot into CFW EMUMMC again!
I seem to have a similar problem... When I try to boot to CFW (EMUMMC) in Hekate v5.0.2, It shows the Kosmos logo, then Hekate - IPL, then back the the Hekate main menu.
The most recent change I made was this... and it was suspicious to say the least.
I just tried to install the latest version of Tinfoil from Tinfoil.io, and when I ran the app from the homebrew menu, it told me I needed to update the switch software (like it does when you put a brand new game in, but you're on old firmware). I declined, but it left a weird card with a spinning asterisk in the first slot on the switch's main menu (again, in the same place the most recent game you've played would be).
I messed around with some things, deleting the tinfoil folder included, to try to get rid of the spinning star card. Finally, I clicked on it again, and accepted the "firmware update"
I figured it was safe because it came from Tinfoil. However, when it rebooted, I could not get back into CFW (EMUMMC).
Before anyone says my Switch is toast... I can boot from CFW (EMUMMC) on the 4GB card that came with my Switch.
***UPDATE*** I used
ChoiDujourNX on the 4GB card to update to Switch fw (9.1.0), and now the same thing is happening on this card. Arrrgh
... that said... I have tried to put all of the CFW files back onto my SD card fresh, and it doesn't do any good.
Any suggestions?
