Hi,

I've updated sysnand and emunand to 9.1.0 and had the same 2168-0002 error code until I renamed SX Autoloader folder to disable it.
Browse your SD card to sxos/titles/ and delete or rename folder 00FF0012656180FF, put back your SD in your Switch and see if you can boot normally.

For me it fixed the issue, and if I rename SX Autoloader to original folder name then I've got the error again.

I guess we have to wait for an SX Autoloader update

I finally updated to 9.01 the other day and I am stuck in a boot loop that comes up with this error after the switch logo every time unless I switch it off. I thought it might be due to Autoloader as I installed it the other week (it didnt work for me) and is the only thing that's changed since last update, but renaming it makes no difference in booting.

What did you rename the folder too?
I noticed on Autoloaders page IMPORTANT: If you get an Error Code on boot-up, then it means your SD Card has corruption on it, please re-format it and start fresh.
Ive been using exFat on a Sandisk with no problems for over a year, until I installed this last week. I'll be pissed if I have to format a 400GB full SD

I just deleted the entire folder! Try to delete it - if you are scared to delete it - just move it to HDD for backup!;)

I can confirm. Once you delete the folder of Sx Auto loader \sxos\titles\00FF0012656180FF - Switch boots normally.

Here is my update steps

1) Got the firmware 9.1.0 and put it inside the SD card
2) Go to Album and launch ChoidujournNX 1.0.2
3) Finish the update process using ChoidujournNX
4) Shutdown console
5) Put the SD card on PC and put SX OS Boot.dat 2.9.3 inside the SD Card.
6) Deleted the SX Auto Loader Folder - \sxos\titles\00FF0012656180FF
6) Boot Switch normally into SX OS (Jiggle, dongle, etc)
7) Profit.

I don't know whats wrong with mine, it wouldn't delete the folder, it kept saying files had been moved and to locate them before deletion could go ahead. Copy of SD contents to ex HDD minus the Autoloader folder, format the SD to exFat and start again, transfer everything back to SD, and it still gives me this boot error. And I haven't even got Autoloader on my SD.

I tried it and my switch isn't turning on. When I stick in the dongle (with the jig), it doesn't even have a charge. Before I deleted the folder, my switch was at a 100% charge.

Sometimes that happens when I update the fimrware - just start the switch normal on OF...power it off and then try again with the jig and the dongle.... if that dont help try to charge the dongle a bit with USB cable...sometimes the dongle dont charge from the pluging in only;)

Well, that's what I'm doing and nothing. I charged the switch for half an hour and that's good for one boot. After that, it does the same thing. This is the first time this has happened to my switch. It started happening when I updated to SX OS 2.9.3.

Yeah same error. Reading around I found the solution was to just delete the sxos folder entirely, just leaving the license and boot.dat on the SD and now it boots fine. If it causes any problems further down the line, I have a full copy of my SD on file now, anyway. Put Autoloader back on and it now boots fine but Autoloader still doesn't work, still gives me the insert card error.

When I updated, my switch also was not turning on. So I did what I am suggesting below:

Remove your SD card from switch and hold down power button.

Try this a few times and your switch will boot/restart into original Firmware.

Then you can remove the SX autoloader from your sd card and boot again into sx os.

Ya. Since my last post, it returned back to normal. That's strange. I wonder what was going on.

Hi Guys,
I just updated my emunand to 9.1 and the SXOS to 2.9.3 - the result is error cone on loging. I am attaching picture.
The switch boots normal in its OF...so something is related to the emunand on my sd card.
Please help!
