hacdiskmount is a tool that is quite outdated by today's standards. Its function is to mount your eMMC for you to dump, restore, or explore it but aside from restoration, the tool is very niche. Dumping the eMMC should only be done with Hekate and exploration is meant more for developers. Restoration is the only use you may ever find because although Hekate can also restore eMMC backups, if you do not have one, there is a way to utilize hacdiskmount in such a way to recover from a brick without an eMMC backup. However that is worst case scenario and as long as you have an eMMC backup, it should never come to that.

The chances of damaging pin 10 is very low especially if you immediately enable AutoRCM with Hekate once you are successful. As the name implies, AutoRCM removes the need for manually entering AutoRCM by "bricking" the console. In other words, the console will only boot into RCM until AutoRCM is removed. Do not fret though if you wish to boot OFW as Hekate can allow you to boot a semi-stock option that has not caused any bans thus far.

Trading is not an issue as long as you meet the other requirements such as being on the same firmware and game version. You can also update your firmware offline with homebrew applications like ChoiDujourNX or Daybreak.

Thank you for the advice. Would you mind explaining a bit more about trading between two Switches while keeping the same firmware and game version? I'm not quite sure how do that.

I mean there's not much to explain. All you do is adhere to the normal rules when it comes to trading Pokemon which I assume requires both consoles to be on the same firmware using whatever methods are available to you. Hacking has no affect on local trading if that's what you assume.

Sounds like you may have a loose connection on the motherboard to your sd card slot, a loose connection on the wire harness, or a bad sd card slot. You can order a new sd card reader part and repair it yourself, or take it to a electronics shop that does repairs. Good luck! Here the replacement and a guide on how to fix:

I've got a unpatched switch using emunand on sx os which I haven't used in a while, I've got a new sd card on the way and I want to start using atmosphere.

I've already used the sdsetup website to ready all the stuff I need to use.

Whats the easiest way to start using Atmosphere, I don't mind starting over as I've backed up my saves manually.

Is it just a case of transferring the contents downloaded to this new SD card?

I have autorcm enabled currently will this cause an issue?

I know there is a homebrew app to re-map the buttons to different buttons, but I don't think there is a "Turbo" type homebrew yet. Would be cool though.

For starters, it is not a hardware issue if the console can boot normally. And if you can even boot other CFW, then its not an SD card issue. Lastly, since both Atmosphere and SX OS fail to launch your emuMMC partition, then all signs point to an issue originating from your emuMMC.

Now if you have a backup of your emuMMC, now is the time to restore it. If you do not have one, then it might be impossible to recover your emuMMC. The only other thing you can try which you haven't tried yet is trying to repair the emuMMC with Hekate. If you go to Migrate emuMMC which can be found under emuMMC, there should be an option to migrate/repair it. Once you do that, try booting Atmosphere and/or SX OS via emuMMC. If it still does not boot, then your emuMMC is no longer functional and has to be remade.

Just tried the repair funtion, but also blackscreen -.- .
After formating my sdcard yesterday, I created a new emuMMC with hekate because I had the mood to do "everything new" xD to make it work again ^^ did not even tried to migrate my old sxos emuMMC ;) Im not really sure about how the whole emuMMC thingi works, but i have a backup of my nand (clean nand backup before installing sxos) not of my emunand. the situation that I probably have the same problem with sxos and now atm (with new created emuMMC) and even when trying to boot undocked (!) is making me so unsureif its a bigger Problem here (sd card reader maybe ?). Sorry noob here -.-


Would it be okay if I create a new threat for my Problem since it seems not easiest thing to solve ;) ?

Not sure if will help, but try reading both these links:

Thank you BigOnYa for answer and links, I am already at a point where I would start from scratch with new emunand and maybe use my saves from checkpoint if possible. Just want to use my switch again with CFW. Draxzelex said everything points to a broken emuMMC and so where my thoughts, but since I created a new one with Hekate im not so sure if this is the problem (also I tried another sd card without emmMMc just with hekate and atmosphere because its just 16Gb ;) and had the same problem) and if restoring cleanSysnand will help anyway... And I dont know how to check if my SDcard reader has a Problems, creating partition and emuMMC was no error or problems. Just the Blackscreen thing. I dont want to replace the reader if I dont really know if its broken ;) If one creates a new emuMMC with hekate and it does same problem like the old sxos one it should not be Problem with emuMMC or am I wrong with that ? Is there a point/ known issue of a broken sdreader with blackscreen starting CFW ?

Try when boot into Hekate menu, goto "payloads" and select "fusee-primary"

Thx tried but also blackscreen, I made a quick Vid with my phone If you want to take a look


And If I press shutdown and start normally OFW (same result with our without sdcard inside) Nintedo logo and then Blackscreen . Just Docked with Power and + it starts OFW and then EVERYTHING is fine o.O

Sorry I don't know how to help you. I don't use Emunand at all, and never have. But it does seem like an issue with your Nand. Only thing I can think of would be to restore Nand from your backup/ or repair it, in Hekate, but maybe when @Draxzelex gets on here later he can help you. He is the man! Good luck though.

i hope its only a bad sd slot (would be the second time i replace because the first time i sent it to Mattytrog to get a RCM x86 modchip...and he repaired my mobo aswell because the connectors for the sd slot were dead)

Seems like it's an easy fix, and only $15 for part. Make sure you have/order a tri-point Y00 screwdriver also. Good luck!

Hi guys, it's me again.

I updated my emuNAND to 11.0.1 with daybreak, choose install, select the folder with the fw update, wait for the update check, check ok, select continue, select preserve, select FAT32 + exFAT32, select continue, the install wnet without errors and select reboot.

After reboot I got a nice error (Error Code: 2162-0002 (0x4a2)), I google it and find out it was caused by custom thermes, I delete the folder /atmosphere/contents/0100000000001000 and now I ha an ever more nicer error 2001-0123 (0xf601), wich I don''t know how to fix.

Please help!

EDIT

Forget it, I fix it deleting the sysDVR folder (/atmosphere/contents/00FF0000A53BB665) but now I wonder:

  1. I will not be able to use sysDVR now?
  2. I will not ne able to use my old themes?

I see no reason why you can't but maybe the SD card is fake. Did you ever try verifying it with a program such as h2testw?

  1. Its possible you may need to download the latest sysDVR if you haven't done so already. If you did already download the latest, it might not be compatible with firmware 11.0.1 which should be brought up to the author
  2. When a theme is made, it is made for that specific firmware. Therefore whenever you update, you have to make your theme again which makes it seem more like a hassle especially if you update your firmware constantly

Yeah, sysDVR was updated to v5.1 to be compatible with fw 11.0.1, and I also update the theme installer, apparently fw 11.0.1 adds a new button and it needs to be removed with the new version of the theme installer for themes to work on 11.0.1. Live and learn I guess. Thank you for the help @Draxzelex
