Crash After Booting Into Latest Atmosphere - Please Help!

[ChokingVictim87]

So I downloaded Atmosphere 1.6.2, Firmware 17.0 and the latest sigpatches. Installed the firmware using Daybreak as usual. Everything was fine.

Upon rebooting my switch using Tegra and going into my Custom Firmware, after 5-10 seconds, I get the screen and message seen below. This has never happened before.

I have tried everything I can think of to rectify this to no avail. Booting into stock shows no issues whatsoever and I am not connected to Wifi on my switch.

Any help would be much appreciated

Really? Ive had this switch for 2 years and never had this happen before. Ive always deleted the old Atmosphere files and replaced them with the new ones :/

Did you blanked out your serial number?

Umm I have my old Nand somewhere on a hardrive. Where would the Prodinfo be?

Is your serial number blanked out?

Sorry if it seems obvious, but how would I find that out? I think it was/is when I set it up 2/3 years ago.

Do you have an exosphere.ini file in the root of the sdcard?

Yeah, here it is

If it blanked out, you need to setup DNSMitm if you aren't using a dns blocker, loading atmosphere with blanked serial number without dns blocker would crash on firmware 17.0.0

Doesn't look like you are using exosphere, did you used Incognito ?

 

[linuxares]

Holy cow that's a bad exosphere.ini file. Never allow writing to the cal. Do you happen to have Tinfoil installed on your Switch? Because it's probably possible you used it to blank since cal writing is active.

EDIT: Try adding this to your Switch - https://rentry.org/ExosphereDNSMITM#dns-mitm (ignore the top part about exosphere since you already have it)

I believe I did/do use Incognito yes.

Yes I do have Tinfoil installed

Thanks-Should I copy the Emu or Sysnand ones?

Try DNSMITM

Then you need to use the method above so you can enter your Switch again. Then I highly recommend you restore your prodinfo with tinfoil's incognito option.

Once you get your serial number back, edit your exosphere.ini and change the 1 to 0 on the cal option.

Try DNSMITM

How do I do this? Is this the link Linuxares posted? Sorry

Open notepad
Copy the addresses
Save as default.txt
Copy it to atmosphere/hosts/
Try booting your Switch again. Just block it on both until everything is solved.

DNSMITM = The function to block certain dns names. Hench "Domain Name System Man In The Middle"

See if you can restore your blanked serial number see if you have a backup of your prodinfo.bin

 

[linuxares]

Boot Tinfoil and see if you can restore your prodinfo (aka revert incognito)

Updated Tinfoil and booted it up. Im on incognito now. What am I looking for/doing on incognito?
