No OFW, and semi-stock gives black screen

[J0T]

That's why I said "if he can".
If he has access to emu-cfw but not just to OFW, it's always just trying SYS-CFW (not semi-stock, but system nand custom firmware).

What error do you get trying to start on SYS-CFW ?

I don't think you have properly updated atmosphere, hekate, homebrew, etc. Copy everything and overwrite ALL existing files. Then update emuMMC to 21.1.0 using Daybreak.

I need to buy new SD card either way and I will start to set up from scratch using this tutorial but one more thing which may be (may not) important. When I launch my switch without SD there is "No SD card" message but when I click vol+ and vol- together nothing happens. It seems like no OFW at all exist on my switch..

We don't recommend youtube video, it is best to follow a written guide. Generally it is a good idea to understand the general concept of CFW stuffs.

ONLY UPDATE YOUR CONSOLE TO 21.x.x IF ALL THE HOMEBREW YOU USE IS UPGRADED

Sometimes you need to upgrade your console, upgrade the firmware or upgrade Atmosphère, using the @l7777 's guide (https://gbatemp.net/threads/updating-hekate-atmosphere-and-hos.631739/) as base I hope to create a list of necessary steps to successful upgrade your console.

This guide uses Hekate, if you don't want to use Hekate skip the steps about it. You may loose some features.

And SUCCESS, after buying new SD card (bigger one of course) I started from scratch with the latest Hats Pack and now it works and I can boot everything except OFW (black screen but it doesn't bother me at all). Wil be testing further but Homebrew works in emummc woohoo.
