My switch was able to boot in CFW (AUTORCM was enabled) fine using RCM Jig, and then injecting Hekate_ctcar_5.0.2.bin it opens the atmosphere CFW screen then nintendo then boots up.
Now today when i try doing the injection it boots up the CFW screen and then turns black.
I have to keep pushing the power button several times before it starts to boot up the switch again.

What could be the issue? It was working now all of a sudden its not booting properly?

Also wanted to mention prior to all this back when the CFW booted normally when I was using checkpoint to backup a save file. It says it has backed up the save file yet no folder was created?
 
Same here, more or less. Mine gave me this issue today when I tried booting to atmosphere for the first time. I had to do a hard reset by holding the power button for 30 seconds. I want to figure out what's causing it before I try again.
 
i fixed mine. make sure your on 9.0.1 with atmo 0.9.4
boot switch into normal no cfw then it should ask for the sd card update or to format the sd most likely when you update it didnt get the sdxc update

Does this require my switch to go online?, when you mean boot into normal, does this mean restore my system to a clean boot1 and boot0 and rawnand? and take out the SD card and plug it back in?

Or boot as in boot the system without injecting payload to access CFW? and then turn off airplane mode and turn on my wi-fi? wouldnt that cause a mismatch if i decide to restore my switch to clean state?
 
yes it needs to be connected to the internet. it does not restore anything. if you are scared of the internet connection look up chiodujournx to update offline it will ask to install the exfat update.

Will i be to restore back the system after the chiodujournx offline update? like use my backups it'll just revert all the changes basically right? so i'd have to update it again in the future.

My switch is already running 9.0.1.

Could I do the long way?
Restore my switch to before CFW, update the SD card and then create a new backup, then reinstall CFW?
