Hi, I've been trying to get into CFW for about an hour.

My switch is not patched, I've gotten into ReiNX before.

So, I used the screwdriver method (I know, "ur gonna break ur pins!!") and now my switch is on a black screen where when I press the power button, it does nothing.
I plugged it into my phone and nothing happened, so I plugged it into my computer. It didn't list it as a device, and it didn't inject. I've tried all the ports, nothing works.
Can someone please help me get into RCM? I don't want this to ruin my afternoon.

If it is on black screen and power button does nothing it is either in RCM or dead (battery).
Can u know the difference of empty battery and rcm mode? For example, if its in rcm mode and u connect it to PC should it be recognized in any way by PC?

It isn't dead, I went into horizon and the battery is in the 90s, but the PC doesn't recognize it.

Could it be because I'm using a MacBook?
(I tried both macOS and Windows on the MacBook)

My phone recognizes it by saying USB debugging enabled, but I have Rekado and no prompt shows up.

I have had issues with it being detected on OSX before, even with virtual machines (VirtualBox & Parallels).
Ended up just using a windows laptop, worked no problem. Then I just set up fusée framboise (Pi version).
It always used to work on my phone for me, but now that doesn't work.

Well your phone detects a device, so thats good.
I'd try a new set up, make sure Rekado and the CFW/Payload are all latest versions.
Reboot your phone & switch, try again. Try a couple different cables.

Otherwise find a windows box and try Tegra RCM.

    Ken, your hamster inside it is hungry. Can't you turn POE on/off in your WiFi settings page? Or is it not staying on?

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Well, in that thread they say it's pretty much safe to manage save files back and forth to consoles as long as you don't go online with cheats activated or with a pirate game.
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    I own every of my games legit with their own cartridges
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    also, I'm not planning to use any cheats, etc, just continue the normal gameplay on the emulator
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It only gives a internet settings option then it spazes out

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @ATEMVEGETA if you use save from other switch you may be ok, but using a save from emulator to switch will prob get you banned
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Under ipv4/6
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file will be created and started normally on the Switch's OFW with a legit game. Then that save file will be transfered to the emulator and continue the gameplay there. Then send it back to the console.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I feel like I need to touch @Sicklyboy rack to make it work at this point
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file(s) would never be created first in an emulator
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Do you think continuing the story on the emulator would flag the save file as illegal? (Again no cheats, etc will take place, only normal story of the game progress)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But still using the save on a emulator, then back to switch is shady

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Yea, that's the only thing I want to clarify actually. If someone has tried it with no problems.

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    If using the save on the emulator flags the save file. :/
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Again, "using" I mean normal gameplay not modify it with other means like pokehex, etc
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Can you help me clarify this thing somehow? Do you know someone that may know or have tried it?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just play it on the emulation at home and portable use the normal save, I wouldn't risk anything if online is important to you

    Just ask in the forums if anybody has done it, I don't know of anybody who has, or would risk it.
