How to fix a softbricked switch after theme install (Atmosphere) 

This video blew up!

Bro I spent all day trying to fix this until I found this video. This still holds up even now, thanks my guy.

Upgraded to Atmosphere 1.6.2 (Oct 2023 release) and got that error. This video solved my problem. Much thanks :)

I downloaded the AvP Gold port to switch and it crashes when I open it(I've put everything in its respective folders, any help? Or is it completely outdated to the point of not working at all?

Hi :) I deleted the romfs folder but after restarting atmosphere, Switch starts creating a new user. He can't see the previous ones at all. Everything is OK on eMMC. Is it possible to recover my profiles?

i cant install smash ultimate without getting that same error

Omg it’s still work ! Thanks you so much

Where are the "contents" in the atmosphere folder?

So now i know that the theme for initial screen is what breaks the console
