I can't reboot into CFW from caffeine exploit via PegaScape on 4.0.0 in last two days with ~60 tries so far, even though I had it working for ~2 years before #17

I started to have following problem: after running pegascape via reswitched news applet and tapping that text control and waiting 5 full seconds to power tap instead of the boot I just get screen turned off just like normal power tap behaviour is. While I understand that this is normal and had problems like this before, it always went away after few tries. I am right now on about 60 tries on 2 different sd cards:

  1. 64 gb FAT32, EMUmmc RAW with 12 v. firmware on EMUmmc, hekate+atmo package from sdsetup site that was working before with no problem for two weeks
  2. new 400gb FAT32 that has todays setup from sdsetup site and later changed to deepsea package.

On both I get same things. my screen goes black, I can normally unblock my screen and I have to close my switch by holding power button for ~15secs. rinse and repeat.

the thing I did that directly precedes my problems and looks like a cause of it was me trying to run faulty backup. What I did was that on my new sd card (I put new atmo and hekate combo. so far good. did emummc (2x29gb - the most I could allocate and created RAW 1 partition). after that emuMMC properly booted into copy of my SYS one. then I tried to use 'backup' I did from my failing old card, which wasnt created by hekate tools but by just copying emummc folder from sd to my harddrive. Then on new sd removed existing emummc folder and copied 'backuped' one. After I copied that folder, did migration of emummc via tools on hekate to let it find that existing partition which went correctly and tried to boot into it. which didn't work as I only got black screen, on which I waited like 15-20 minutes and just powered off. after that it booted me straight into SYSmmc without exploit and that is where I started to have problems with restarting into hekate from pegascape.

I am long time atmo+hekate user using caffeine via pegascape option running mostly via EMUmmc. My SYSMMC is still at 4.0.0 although have few nsp installed there. My DNS is working because I have pegascape working correctly and it is the same configuration for quite a while. I was working with PegaScape without a hitch for a ~2 years with several firmware updates on emuMMC up to 12v . so far.

While it looks like my fault, can I do something about this to make it bootable into cfw again? Even something unusual like upgrading via game card to 4.0.1 or 4.1.0 or am I out of luck and have to forget about using CFWs?

Any help or even confirmation of being OOL is super appreciated!

Ok, for some reason restoring old version (from kosmos days) of atmo + hekate (5.0) that was 2 years old did the trick and I managed to boot into cfw!
