Tinfoil 'corrupted data' after updating to latest firmware and CFW (2)
  • Sep 15, 2020

Hi all,

So I've updated Switch FW to 10.2.0 (I allowed the switch to do this through the system update option, and I'm worried that may have allowed it to detect my hacks..?)
I then updated Atmosphere to 0.14.3
I then installed the latest sig patches which were released recently on this site (thanks guys)
I updated to the latest fusee.primary

My legally owned games that I paid for (ages ago) are working fine. The others however said "corrupted data" so I deleted them so I could reinstall.
However Tinfoil itself is not working now either so I cannot reinstall games!
Tinfoil itself is also saying "corrupted data" when I try to open it.

I have tried completely removing tinfoil, reinstalling it (latest version) on the sd card and yet it still doesn't work.
When I try to run Tinfoil installer through the HB menu the screen goes black for a second and then nothing looks different after.
Except Tinfoil is now available on the album menu. So maybe the install worked.
So now I tap the Tinfoil icon on the album menu and get "corrupted data" and a prompt to redownload, which doesn't work.

Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance

Pretty sure you need a new loader patches for 10.2.0 , tinfoil forwarder didn't work on 10.1.0 when it first came out until new patches were out.

Is "loader patches" the same as "signature patches"/"sigpatches"?
