Problem Booting Tears Of The Kingdom(16.0.3/AMS 1.5.3) [Solved ✅]

[HammyMan]

Hello. Currently having an issue with Tears Of The Kingdom after updating to 16.0.3. When loading the game, it hangs on the black screen showing Nintendo Switch logo for 10-15 seconds before crashing and giving error of ''Error Code: 2002-4153 Sofware was closed because an error occurred''. This only started happening when updating to 16.0.3. Other titles like Kirby/XBC3/Arceus run fine. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Currently I have:

Switch Firmware 16.0.3
AMS 1.5.3
Sig patches up to date
Awoo - 1.3.5
Issue: Error Code - 2002-4153 ''The software was closed because an error occurred''

Hi. why you update your firmware to the recent 16.0.3 firmware ? it come just 2 days ago some homebrew/modules broken on it
Never update switch firmware unless games/updates won't run without it.
16.0.0 / 16.0.1 / 16.0.2 are enough

The software was closed because an error occurred can be:
1) Corrupted data
2) Wrong/Outdated hekate config/version
3) Incompatible cheats/sysmodules/mods

Try this one by one:
- Make sure your sigpatches updated: https://cfw.pw/sigpatches
- Make sure you have no cheats/mods enabled
- Try holding L while launching the game and see
- Boot into maintenance mode by holding vol+ and vol- while turning on your Switch (or injecting fusee). After you boot into the maintenance mode menu, touch nothing, and restart your Switch. then start the game while holding L
- Try to boot with "fusee.bin" that come alongside atmosphere version you use instead of hekate. Then delete game and reinstall game with Latest DBI 563

When applying the update and running the game, i clicked ''update'' instead of just ''start software''. Its just a dumb mistake on my part.
I will give everything a try one by one just like you said. Thank you, African. I appreciate it.

UPDATE: Your step by steps helped a ton. Just went through them all and DBI 563/fusee/Deleting/Reinstalling did the trick! thank you again, African
