So long story short. I made a nand backup of 6.1.0. My girl updated the system to 6.2.0. So I went in to restore my old nand and boot 0/1 and when I tried to restore the raw nand gpp and I got the error the size is different than the sd card. But the boot 0/1 worked and now my switch wont boot at all. Any fix to this? I can still access rcm.

Uh I think you just bricked. FW 6.2 requires 8 burnt fuses, while FW 6.1 requires 7 burnt fuses. You restored FW 6.1. Your switch expected 7 burnt fuses, but saw 8 instead, so it panicked. Can you boot the recovery menu by any chance?

"my girflriend/brother/dog/friend/evil twin/insert anybody else but me here updated to 6.2..."

somebody did predict this the day 6.2 released. I forgot who though.

Unfortunately not. I've tried a few times now.

Did you make a backup before restoring? Should be easier to just revert to that and use atmosphere which does support 6.2. If not I think you'll have to go through this guide to get your your firmware back in tact, but you might want to wait someone more knowledgeable to answer.

The console only fucked up after I hit restore boot0/boot1 so I assume that's what messed up the console.

You can try restoring boot0/boot1 again and see if Atmosphere boots. If not, I think that means your boot0/boot1 backup files are corrupted. I don't know what else to tell you.

So you have 6.2 nand but ealier boot0/1, if they're incompatible it's what stopped your console from booting. Since you can't restore the previous nand, you should backup the current one and keep it safe too, maybe you'll need to recover from that.
