i used the app in the title to update from 6.0 & now the Switch seems dead to me. it should reboot to complete the FW installation but it just went to black screen

no auto rcm & i used switch to update

ok it's working now, i tried activating ReiNX & Switch started working again. why it wouldn't turn on normally ? is it now fully dependant on ReiNX in order for it to turn on just like 3DS with Luma ?

also you guys are awesome when it comes to helping others in scary situations, i truly appreciate your kindness :wub:

Think you just have to reenable Autorcm from the Reinx toolkit in your homebrew settings

cuz it enable autorcm by default when u update the firmware with it.
u need to send payload everytime u boot up the switch
 
I am using lastest SX OS update and my system is on auto rcm.

I updated my system from 5.1.0 to 6.1.0 directly using this app.

I forgot to backup my system nand haha thank god nothing went wrong.

It didnt turn on without injecting a payload because by deafult it enables the autoRCM. You can manually disable it later, but if you boot the original firmware it will burn your fuses, like updating via the OFW normally does.
I dont see why would you update with choi and disable the autoRCM, because is easier and safer to update via OFW (you could only be playing safe to not get banned, but there is a risk of bricking your switch so...)

As long as you have a NAND backup, no such thing as a brick. Unless you steam clean it.

i made backup of boot 0/1 & system which is 2.6GB is this what they call NAND backup ?

Put it in your dock station a couple of times, that usually sorts it out.
I cant help notice your huge Speedtest image it looks very fake, take it down, your embarrassing yourself! why on earth would you have a download speed of 616.69Mbps which I doubt anyway! and a pitiful upload speed of 6.23Mbps which with a download of 616.93Mbps I would expect you to hit a range 21 - 50Mbps upload in the uk fttp standard every time I presume your not using any upload bandwidth at the time of the test else you would not bother posting it up. What provider are you with it could only be BT if you get fake speeds like that no other residential provider would?

If you're already banned you can't update normally, you need to use this homebrew.
