Should I update Nintendo Switch before starting RCM process?
I have a v1 unpatched Switch. I'd like to start the process of installing custom firmware. I read this note about being careful to make sure Atmosphere and Hekate support the latest firmware before updating, which they both seem to. But there's also something about gamecard firmware?

Could some please help me out after updating some files
Make sure you have most update files from the main repo GitHub. https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases. Follow the update instructions

Modded Lite Won't boot hekate.
I've installed modchip on Lite. It shows the "no sd card" logo. I've tried both hekate official gitthub and HATS packages loaded into an SD card, but it gives a black screen. It returns to no sd card when I press the power button for 10 seconds after removing the sd card.

Download Hekate 6.0.4 from the Github Page: https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases/tag/v6.0.4 And move the extracted ZIP Contents to the Root of your SD Card.

- blue screen after tryng to update to 16.0.3 with daybreak
- Finally found TOTK on tinfoil but will not work once downloaded and installed?
-
is there anything to replace tinfoil?
I was having issues with the corrupted data errors a couple days ago. Oddly what fixed mine at the time was to use sigpatches for 16.0.0 instead of the 16.0.2 patches. Idk why or how it worked but it did until yesterday. I downloaded the AtmoPack-Vanilla from https://github.com/THZoria/AtmoPack-Vanilla/releases and did a fresh atmosphere install (delete old atmosphere folders first, don't replace them). Booted Hekate, injected fusee.bin and ran the corrupted data check again and no corrupted data was found. :)

Tinfoil for atmosphere 1.5.3 install
https://github.com/THZoria/AtmoPack-Vanilla/releases downloaded that ans just replaced the atmosphere and bootloader folders

I can't even remember when was the last time I touched my switch. But now that TOTK is out, its about time. I tried this https://github.com/THZoria/AtmoPack-Vanilla/ and it worked right away.
