I hope someone can help! I was running 17.0.1 with Atmosphere 1.6.2. I followed YU's video and updated do 18.0.1 (I didn't know I could jump directly to 19.0). I then updated to 19.0 following the instructions from this video. Everything works fine when I launch CFW(EMUMMC). But if I launch CFW(SYSNAND) or Stock (SYSNAND), after about 20-30 seconds the Switch crashes and I get error code 2162-0002 (0x4a2). I can restart by pressing the power button but it's stuck in this crash cycle until and unless I boot into CFW(EMUMMC). I checked the error fix part of this video but I do not have any of those folders in the contents folder of atmosphere on my SD card. Anyone experience this or know what the problem might be? Help YU!
