Hi everyone,
Before everyone flames me and what not for being a scrub and not learning before doing anything I'll start by saying, I ran through these forums with a fine comb. I read every thread I could on here and Reddit, and watched every Y'tube video I could. I basically was running SXOS 2.x.x on a brand new Super Mario Odyssey Edition switch running OFW 3.0.1 from factory - now here is where I went wrong.. I made a backup of my NAND for 3.0.1 but I officially updated to firmware 6.0.1 ( I have 7 or 8 burnt fuses now) which was fine, I was running EmuNAND also on SXOS at 6.0.1 too but that's now gone so probably irrelevant. I was in a rush to go back to work and nearly missing my flight, so I restored the NAND back up I had which was 3.0.1 to my 6.0.1 firmware switch to go back to stock.. I completely forgot the crucial step I had been meaning to do once I updated to 6.1.0 ( I already did one NAND backup when I had stock NAND 3.0.1 )- so completely forgot the NAND backup after upgrading firmware officially) which was to make sure I had a NAND backup of the current FW 6.0.1 I was running, which was my mistake, as I never actually planned to restore back to stock, which is what I was trying to do. Anyway fast forward, I have NAND of my official firmware 3.0.1 and my Switch is currently running 6.0.1 NAND so when I restored the NAND of 3.0.1, it will not boot, just gives me error codes and a nintendo logo that freezes/hangs then turns off etc. I've tried using Atmosphere, Reinx, Kosmos, Goldleaf etc and SXOS again via hekate to bypass fuse count, which is fine, I can get the icon/logo's for these CFW's to show up as if they are about to boot but then it goes black after that and turns off. I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this, I know I will most likely have to try and follow this guide again (gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-install-run-any-switch-firmware-unofficially-without-burning-any-fuses.507461/) which is a guide on here how to rebuild the NAND from scratch essentially, but I got lost on the command line parts and was unable to get etcher/python to execute properly without running into errors. Can anyone give me a hand with this? I would greatly appreciate it. I just wanted to restore it to stock so I could play online etc and now I can't use it at all. This isn't really a crying thread I just wish I could obtain some help from someone besides some links I can't follow properly or get stuck with certain parts, I understand and have accepted that it was entirely possible the whole time but alas I know some of you are amazing helpers and really knowledgeable in this area and perhaps could help me.
Thanks in advance guys, happy new year to you all.

EDIT : I did not delete 6.0.1 NAND as in title, did not mean to type it like that, it is as stated here. Thanks.
