This is the atmosphere repository, it has nothing to do with 'All-in-One Switch updater'.
Why are you creating an empty folder in swkbd in the first place?

@borntohonk as much as what you commented would be correct in 99% of cases, this guy talked to me on discord, and the report he provided actually is somehow triggering an svc::ResultInvalidHandle() in ams.mitm, so I think there might be a real atmosphere bug at play.

Why are you creating an empty folder in swkbd in the first place?

I'm making the FW translation to various languages, and I wish to create a custom keyboards so I need to put a files to that and other folders. I don't need an empty folder, that step is minimal required thing for reproducing the bug.

I created this issue because of this bug is similar to those mentioned in additional context section.

The issue causing crashes by just creating an empty folders in contents folder. It is expectingly should affect no apps, but system crashes. This bug also prevents in translating 010000000000100C and 0100000000001000 at the same time.

It could be a FW applets bug, but reproducing it with an open source apps proves it is possibly Atmosphere bug. I hope it helps in debugging and fixing it.

I am also having this exact issue, anyway to fix it?

I also got this issue, I tried some method from other related post such as

• Get your switch in RCM mode. Inject Hekate payload Tap on "Tools" on top of the hekate screen. Tap on "Archive Bit - AutoRCM" on the right bottom. Tap on "Unset archive bit" button.
• Format sd card to FAT32 (I don't have the FAT32 option)
  

here is the log file

Hope someone can help. Thanks!

On cards bigger that 32GB, you have to use an external tool or application to format to FAT32 since Microsoft in their infinite wisdom decided long ago that they know what the users want better than what the users do. Hekate can do it on the switch itself if you first back up all the contents to your PC so that you don't lose them

Are you saying that reformatting microSD via Hekate fixes the issue?

[Masamune3210]

No, I was saying how to format a sd card that is larger than 32GB as FAT32 since Windows refuses to do so with any of the in-build methods of formatting a media

Some user who own Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance and installed the firmware translation reported that it also crashes while entering a name via keyboard when prompted by the game. They confirm that empty folders are also causing this. It’s likely the same bug.

Huh. I forgot this issue was a thing. I should probably investigate this.
