Hey, guys!

Sorry if this is a stupid thread but I was hoping I could get some guidance from some of you switch-hacking pros! :]
Currently, I am on an unhacked 4.1.0 console (I think without the exFat update). I am trying to get to 6.2 with hekate and Atmosphere (with sig-patches enabled).

I am currently following this guide: https://guide.sdsetup.com/#/

Before I did any updating, even launching into Horizon with a CFW or launching HB menu to update, I created a NAND backup that took forever. That is now done, but I am unsure where to go next. I haven't launched into Horizon yet with CFW. Also, when I am within hekate, I get the error in the following thread (even though I'm still on 4.1.0): https://www.reddit.com/r/SwitchHaxing/comments/9tb6op/updated_to_610_with_autorcm_and_this_happened/

I'm not sure if this sleep mode error is showing up because I am using a 256 GB Samsung Micro SD that is formatted in exFat or what. Would it be best to download the exFat update first or can I just go straight to 6.2 using that updater that doesn't burn fuses and my SD card will be recognized?

Thanks for any guidance, pals.

I am on the same general situation, and Atmosphere is not launching from Hekate on OFW 4.1...

Even though devs are dismissing it as far as I have seen, it is possible that 4.1 support ia broken.

Let me assist you. I just upgraded from 4.1.0 with unpatched serial(hopefully you checked that too). I think there's an issue with any thing 128GB or greater involving Hekate but still researching not 100% confirm. Make sure Hekate will can read the contents of of the SD and load a firmware. Look into biskeydump.bin and TegraGUIRcm. It's a test during the injector phase.

What I did:
Get version, any FW version from(preferably 6.2.0) a DarkUmbra(website).
Get the CFW
Put Hekate on SD ---> Launch ---> CFW(any payload to load FW or the line that says CFW)

Then:
Youtube - Atmosphère 0.8.2 and put it on the SD card.

Watch all his other vids. I can't explain it all.
