Add the fsgetMountSource Failed error to homebrew launcher section #85

Closed MattKimura closed 7 years ago

Basically the fsgetMountSource Failed error occurs when the user is trying to boot into homebrew launcher but no SD card is detected. This is either because they need to turn it off and reinsert the SD card, or the SD isn't formatted to FAT32, or if they're using a micro SD card the adapter can be faulty and should try another one (Micro SD cards can be tricky because of the adapter)

So in the homebrew launcher section of the guide it mentions freezing during the browser exploit as one of the possible mishaps. But it doesn't mention the fsgetMoutnSource Failed error that users commonly get from time to time.

The same can be applied to the haxchi section. Running Haxchi to get into Homebrew Launcher would once again run into this error if their SD card isn't right.

5.5.2 Users Same for 5.5.2 users, once they do the unstable exploit and eventually succeed and boot into Homebrew Launcher, they can be greeted with the fsgetMountSource failed error instead if their SD card isn't good. To save the user from retrying the unstable exploit just to get the same error, this error can be noted and it's causes. Note: I added this 5.5.2 note in case the 5.5.2 hacking process becomes it's own thing.
