Hello, I'm pretty new still to using custom firmware and the like on my switch, and I just got a second SD Card so I could download more games. I have set up all the custom firmware on the new SD Card, and I'm having a problem I had with my very first SD Card, that eventually just seemed to fix itself. Basically I go to open up the tinfoil installer and it just closes immediately and doesn't install it. It's probably a problem on my end, I'm wondering how I may be able to fix this?

Classic tinfoil won't install if you load Atmosphere with hekate or fusee-secondary. Only by using fusee-primary with proper sigpatches you can force tinfoil to run.

Just use Awoo Installer instead.

So my switch turned off and I accidentally deleted chat where a guy that sold me said to do when that happens and I don't have his number. I searched everywhere online but I can't find how to turn it back on...

You probably have AutoRCM installed. Connect the Switch to your computer and send a payload to it using something like TegraRcmGUI to send a payload to the system. If you're using Atmosphere, make sure the Atmosphere files are up to date on your SD card and send the latest fusee-primary.bin using TegraRcmGUI.

So I'm still having issues getting the Tinfoil installer to run. I just updated the Tinfoil files on the SD card, booted into Atmosphere, and clicked install. Now I have a blank tile with a spinning symbol in the middle (like where a game tile would be). I tried deleting it from data management, but I'm still getting a blank tile and "could not start the app." Any advice? I'd love to NOT have to delete everything and start over.

Are you using the proper signature patches? You didn't provide a lot of information.

See AlsoTinfoil failed to install
Sorry about that. I am new to all of this and was not sure what information was needed. I likely was not using the proper signature patches. I followed a new tutorial online that directed me to the most update sig patches, and Tinfoil successfully installed.

Do you know if the console has AutoRCM enabled?

It did the same for me but then I realized that it did work. If you look on the home screen there will be a new tile there for tinfoil.

I have the same issue Tinfoil stopped working after sometime while I didn't update or change anything...
So Ive decided to update atmosphere, Hekate and Tinfoil but the issue remain, I get the message "software won't start try again from the home menu"
The only thing I don't know is the related sig patches status, Is there a guide to check em and update because the guide I followed doesn't exist anymore...

As I said previously Ive updated atmosphere, Hekate and Tinfoil.
Ive also tried the latest signpatches but also tried previous version for firmware 11.0.1..
but the issue remain, I get the message "software won't start try again from the home menu"
What else do I need to check?

If the app launch then the problem is the shop, not really the app.

yea the app loads up fine, ive gone into all my shop links and turned them all off then tested one at a time, none work.
only one that displays new games ect is upstash but when i try download anything it fails.
ill try look online check if its settings have changed as i dont get why it displays the new games but fails to download as all my other shop links dont display anything at all.
the ones i have are
UpStash (this will display the new games/dlc/updates section)
ChaosStash (shows nothing)
PartyShop (shows nothing)
JITS Shop (shows nothing)
Eevee Save Project (working fine)
Pengu (shows nothing)
Stealth Shop (shows nothing)
ReDump (shows nothing)
QuotaShop (shows nothing)
Rebrand (shows nothing)
each time i enable one at a time, i fully close tinfoil then open it up again.
the last time i noticed a problem like this my switch had changed its date/time settings so i set that right and it fixed the problem, but my date/time settings this time are correct so ive no clue why none of them work and only UpStash displays the new games etc in the side bar.
after looking found stealthshop setting was different to its site so changed to that and now working, maybe look see if the other ones had changed.
