THANK YOU SO No one else explained it better. I'm sure you already know, but your updated video was taken down. If anyone is still having trouble, please send me a comment and I'll try and see if I can help; it was frustrating for me to update after not doing it for over a year now.

Question, and probably a stupid one - When you're updating your Switch at the start of the video is that in the normal boot or in your CFW boot? If its in the normal boot, whats the point of doing that?

OMG Thanks so switches atmosphere and hekate file were broken (i think) and updating them with this video worked!!!

[drhaxan]

I am confused about the first few seconds of the video.
I have to boot into emunand and then go to system updates to update my cfw?

and then I do the rest of the steps?

Wow thank you bro I love you so much I want to give you a hug:)

Hello, i tries to update my atmosphere and firmware bu doing all the steps but launchi hekate its says “no main boot entries found”

[trainerrot]

How can i start hekate automatically after power on..so i could load my bootloader..for example fusee or android and can change between them. Or do i need everytime a pc to load from switch to android? For example when my battery is down. Is there no way that my switch loads hekate automatically after new start so that i can choose what i want to play? Switch or android?

[deezy]

Thank you so much I have been stuck trying to fix it and this worked

[el_heizenberg]

What if my switch has the chip installed, is this process still the same? I see the whole Tegra shit and booting into the RCM.

Any help would be nice

all it does now is yellow screen when i try to launch. Reinstalled everything and even reformatted my sd card. what do i do?

[skelleytor]

Why does Tinfoil say that I’m running the Worst Versions of Atmophere and Hekate ? I’m running them on SysNand, plus they haven’t been updated, is that why?? OFW 12.0 Atmosphere 0.19.3 What is, in Your opinion the current “Best” CFW ? I have AIO Updater, There are updates for Atmophere and Hekate available to me... but should I maybe update those 2 or go with a Custom “Deep Sea” package?

[RayTheGr]

I updated my switch and now I can use mods will updated the loader fix this ?

[inoobtacular]

did everythign here but my screen stayed black. Wondering what would cause that

[Maraxion]

Why do you need to update hekate(bootloader)?
Also wasent there a problem with hekate and tinfoil, or was that something else?

[swooshpanda]

i did everything you said and i am getting a "Warning: Nyx is missing!" error... all of the files are how they are supposed to be

[nFBMAGIX]

i got a fatal error after updating, he complains error with but this isn't even installed. (seems to be "mission control"). Any ideas?
