I am.

What firmware are you on?

 

[Neville_Shorttop]

What firmware are you on?

Sysnand - 11.0.1
Emunand - 11.0.0

 

[Draxzelex]

Sysnand - 11.0.1
Emunand - 11.0.0

Well 11.X is a bit unstable for CFW/homebrew since the current release of Atmosphere is a pre-release. The only thing I can recommend trying is downgrading your firmware.

Hi
Can anyone help?

So in CFW mode my son dropped the switch and later the system told me to reinsert the sdcard, the switch got restarted

Later I tried to cfw'ed it again, but whenever I push the Reinx.bin payload via Hekate, it will not bootup to reinxsplash screen (the animegirl with sunglasses)
It only booted up to black splash screen and nothing

I'm using Hekate ctcaer 5.2.1.bin
in official firmware, the sd card is detected

Everything works well before

Any idea?

It sounds like your reinx files got corrupted when the sd card was removed unexpectedly. I would try reinstalling your reinx files to the sd card.

I'll try your advice and see if lowering the firmware changes this. It's not really bothersome, I just thought it was interesting. Thanks for the help.

There was a stable release of Atmosphere 13 days ago.

My condolences.

You should be able download it from here https://reinx.guide/downloads/stable. Copy the files and folders to the root of the SD card.

What firmware are you on? also be aware ReiNX is no longer being worked on and is thus deprecated so if you have updated you will need to switch to atmosphere

 

[buggu79]

only just got switch with Atmosphere installed. Do i need to worry about being in "Applet mode" ?

Alright, will try it

I'm on Reinx but I dont know which version
Should be before the latest one

If I want to switch to atmos, what should I do?

Hold R while launching a game to launch the homebrew browser. If you use the album, you'll be in applet mode. Applet mode has limitations but can be useful for multitasking.

goto their repo, download latest release, copy the zip contents to the root of your sd card, use either fusee-primary or hekate to boot

Are v2 versions hackable?

 

[Neville_Shorttop]

Are v2 versions hackable?

Yes. However, the Mariko Switch (v2) and Switch Lite require a mod chip, the sx core and sx lite respectively.

I just found out that my sdcard become exfat suddenly or is it already exfat from the beginning?

Is it because I reinsert the sdcard after it was taken out accidentally?

So in order to re cfw it, my steps need to be
1. Format the sdcard
2. Copy all the Reinx or Atmos files
3. Launch it using Hekate

Right?

------
Tried all the steps above but still black screen after choosing the payload and reboot (black splash screen)

btw do I need Hekate to push payload or is it better to just push the payload directly from tegrarcm?

I don't think it should matter whether you push the payload from Hekate or TegraRCM but I may be mistaking.

Your SD card was exFAT from the beginning. It is recommended that you use FAT32. After backing up your card and formatting it to FAT32, I would follow these steps with your freshly formatted SD card. https://switch.homebrew.guide/hacking/fuseegelee/sdsetup

I'd like to point out that Atmosphere has features that can prevent the switch from getting banned and protect against bricks. If you're not banned and were taking precautions while using reiNX, I would create an emuNAND. An emuNAND is essentially a copy of the Switch that runs from the SD card. If the emuNAND breaks, you can easily recreate it.

If you're already banned, keep a NAND backup in a safe place and run Atmosphere on the sysNAND.

Is it possible to have 2 full controllers hooked up to a single player?

I'm not clear on what you are asking. Please elaborate.

Need some advice on installing title updates on the switch. I've got several games that I have the updates for. I've tried to install them and it says they're installed successfully, but all I get is another icon on the menu with the cloud icon next to it. If I click that, it says about connecting to e-shop. I've tried via tinfoil and via SX Core installer. Im checking the version via the title itself, and it never goes above 1.0.0

What CFW are you using? If you are using Atmosphere, you may be missing the patches needed to install the updates. If you have the patches, then its possible the updates you are installing are for different regions than the games you have installed.
