Hacking Switch won't turn on, RCM not detected

[yellowtricycles]

Switch had SX OS, and AutoRCM
I turned the unit off and injected a payload, nothing happened, so I reconnected the switch and TegraRCM says rcm is not detected

any one have help?

Have you tried to enter the Switch's recovery mode? Press and Hold Vol +/- and Power at the same time?

Try force shutting it down (holding power button for 12+seconds) and then enter RCM.

Although the unit was off, I held the power down again anyway, to see what would happen. After that I pressed and held the power and volume rocker. Still no success with detecting rcm. After switching USB slots and rebooting my pc it now works.

thanks for the help!

The battery must've died. Have you tried charging the unit? Although given that you installed autoRCM, the unit won't actually charge since from what I heard the switch doesn't charge in RCM mode.

I had something similar like this happen, it was after I went through Method 1 of getting ExFat installed on my Switch. It would only turn onto a black screen. I then held down power and volume and it finally booted, nearly shit myself LOL.

Which brings me to my next question, is there a pretty easy way to backup your Switch's NAND similar to how we backup the 3DS, in the event something goes totally haywire? Currently on 4.1.0.

no the battery was and still is at 100%

so what happened was I put the switch into OFW to charge, when that was done went to inject SX OS and I guess had a driver failure.

You can with hekate.

Will do this! Any idea how big the backup will be? Just so I have enough space on my MicroSD.

Thanks!

32gb. But if you have smaller sd, it will trigger backup in parts
