Hello folks!
I installed from 2.0.3 to 5.1 without burning my fuses. After setting everything up by tumgers files, i tried tinfoil. But everytime i get the error message: installTitle: failed to install nca Error code 0x00000805
What does that mean?

Thanks!

I can load into the cfw with sigpatches and start hbmenu. Only tinfoil gives me install errors.
My Switch was bought 1.5 years ago with 2.0.3

I would suggest using ReiNX with tinfoil if you sure you have sig patch file inside SD cardTinfoil failed to install (7)

Hmmm ok may be try another SD card?
When you try ReiNX did you lucky to obtain the first release?. If not then it will error because Rei remove sig patch out from CFW. So you will need to find new stash 2.1.1 that may be have sig patch (Please correct me if I wring about sig patch file in stash 2.1.1) Tinfoil failed to install (14)
