Many details missing... Is it hacked? Got Atmosphere? Is it fully charged now and not behaving like before the complete battery drain? Anyway, you could check this well known guide and see if it helps you. Feel free to provide more details in another post.

Are you on AutoRcm Mod, ? 🤔

“I can see following folders/files on SD card

1. Biskey Dump 9
2. Tegra RCM GUI 6
3.Tegra RCM GUI Portable 2.6”

On PC, ? Nothing else on the SD ? 🤔

It would help if you could post a screenshot of the content of your microSD. As mentioned above, just these 3 elements is abnormal. Also, is it formatted as FAT32 or exFAT? There might be a corruption issue here.

Well, in your first post, you said:

1. Biskey Dump 9
2. Tegra RCM GUI 6
3.Tegra RCM GUI Portable 2.6


I don't see them in the pic you posted. What did you do? Delete them? Anyway, they don't really have any business on the SD card, so it's not that important. It looks like you are still using SXOS. I know at least one user here, who would tell you differently, but the general consensus is to dump SXOS (obsolete now) and switch to Atmosphere with sigpatches. If you were using emunand on SXOS, I believe you can convert it to use the same emunand on Atmosphere and not lose any games installed, but don't quote me on this. Do check my first reply to you, where I posted a link to a guide. It should answer most of your questions in the transition to Atmosphere. Take your time, follow the steps correctly and everything should work in the end.

1. Download the latest version of hekate from here: https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases/download/v6.0.5/hekate_ctcaer_6.0.5_Nyx_1.5.4_v2.zip

2. Extract the bootloader folder and copy that to the root of your SD card e.g. you should have SD Card\Bootloader

3. Download the latest atmosphere Custom Firmware https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/At...4-master-3cb54e2b4+hbl-2.4.3+hbmenu-3.5.1.zip

4. Extract all the Atmosphere files to the root of your SD card as you have done above with the bootloader folder

5. Download the latest sig patches: https://gbatemp.net/attachments/hekate-ams-package3-sigpatches-1-5-4-cfw-16-0-3-zip.372020/

6. Extract these to the root of the SD card as above and the files will end up in the correct place.

7. Download this hekate_ipl and extract the bootloader folder to the SD card, overwriting anything if asked

8. Inject the latest hekate_ctcaer_6.0.5.bin you got from hekate_ctcaer_6.0.5_Nyx_1.5.4_v2.zip on step 1 with the tool you are using above (not the older version you have been using)

Your Switch should boot to Hekate, click launch on the left and you should see three options: CFW - emuMMC, CFW - sysMMC and Stock - sysMMC.

Try CFW - emuMMC first, if you had an EmuMMC setup before this should boot and hopefully your Switch will work as it did.

If not I suspect who ever "modded" that switch might have used SX OS from looking at the files on the SD Card, or never setup an EmuMMC. I've no experience migrating from SX OS to Atmosphere so hopefully someone else here can advise if so.

Depending on how you get on above It might honestly be best just to start again and create an Atmosphere EmuMMC however, so at least you know what you have actually done and can fix things in the future. If you can boot in to hekate though the hard bit is done in some ways, the rest is just getting things setup. However let me know how far you can get.

    @SylverReZ, cuz of lag?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No. Whenever you use the internet on Windows, Microsoft collects personal data and installs bloatware that isn't necessarily needed, such as Edge.

    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.
