Hello,

I have a new issue on my switch and i have tried many things to fix it with no luck. At this point i am wondering if it is not hardware.

My Hardware :
  • Switch V1 not patched
  • SX Pro to go to RCM + Payload injector
  • Two SD Cards : 512 GB Samsung A3 and 128 GB SanDisk A1

Software :
  • Sysnand firmware : 17.0.1
  • for years i have used my 512 GB Samsung sd with atmosphere + hekate and emummc with no issues.

How the issue happened : i downsized my 512 GB card to less than 100 gb (by deleting games) and copied the content of the SD to 128 GB sd card. Result => Stuck nintendo switch logo with the new card.

I tried again the old card => No stuck nintendo switch logo.

Tried atmosphere on sysmmc => Stuck nintendo switch logo.

Stock firmware boot ALWAYS work.

What I tried to do to fix the problem :
  • Formatted SD Card (32 kb cluster) with Format Fat32 Gui util then copied hekate + atmosphere + sx gear + licence.dat (fresh install). It worked once (extremely awkward) with the SD of 512 GB than tried again and it didn't work. I also have done with the smaller SD Card and it never worked.
  • I have a windows and a mac and tried using both (format + copying fresh install) and always stuck in nintendo switch screen.
  • I tried Team-Neptune/CommonProblemResolver payload as well although should not be necessary with a fresh install => Same issue, stuck on nintendo switch logo.

At this point, I am wondering what could be the issue? I don't believe that both sd cards are not working simultaneously. I also tried recreating emummc and got 0 errors in the process. Still stuck at nintendo switch though.

Any help would be very appreciated !

Edit 1 : I tried wiping out sysnand and it didn’t help : Nintendo switch stuck in cfw and working in ofw

Update : to avoid any doubt, I have tried with a third SD Card and a fresh install. Still exactly the same problem. This third sd card is an old no name 16 GB but still the same symptoms.
I retried many times to format the samsung sd and reinstall the same fresh install and it worked once. I immediatly rebooted to hekate then cfw and it didn't work.

At this point I am starting to suspect a hardware issue ?
Can Atmosphere write startup debug so that we can pinpoint if it is stuck at some point or systematically at the same state ?

Edit 3 :
- I have read that in some cases having the Nintendo folder can help and I booted in ofw and did some screenshots. After that tried atmosphere in sysmmc and it worked ! Second time power off and again it worked. But after that attempt every single other attempt was not working. Also : launching stock firmware (no cfw) through hekate leads to the same issue. That’s really weird…

Edit 4 : even doing Hekate then reboot OFW leads to the same issue. While just powering off and booting OFW always work. Can my nand be corrupt ?

    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency

    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
