Trying to upgrade to 6.2 again but switch refuses to boot after upgrading to 6.2 or 7.0.1

Flashed the exfat update upon upgrading. Coming from 5.1 going to 6.2: chose not to initialize. = Reinx and ofw will not boot after restarting switch once upgrade was done.
Restore NAND, 5.1 booting and working again.
Copy over fresh 6.2 firmware files from *cough*. Upgrade, choose exfat, and this time initialize. =Reinx and OFW will not boot. (hang on nintendo switch logo)
Format SD card, try fat32 nothing will boot.
Restore NAND 5.1 booting and working again. This time I get atmosphere to work on 5.1 too.

Upgrade to 6.2 again and choose exfat update, no initialize. =Atmosphere will not boot.
Format SDcard (exfat) and fresh atmosphere install = switch will not boot (does not get to switch logo, hangs on black screen after nintendo)
Format SDcard (fat32) and fresh atmosphere install = switch will not boot (does not get to switch logo, hangs on black screen after nintendo)
Enter maintenance mode, initialize console.
Boot into atmosphere, get the logo, no nintendo logo black screen and top left corner charging icon, then all black.
Boot into atmosphere, get the nintendo logo, then black screen and no switch logo. Stuck
Boot Reinx 2.0, splash screen, black screen
Format SDcard (exfat) clean install reinx, boot, black screen after reinx boot logo.


Restore 5.1 nand, 5.1 atmosphere 0.8.5 boots fine.
Upgrade to 7.0.1 system initialize option with choidujournx. Switch reboots and get sept boot logo, atomosphere boot logo, nintendo boot logo, and then nintendo switch bootlogo infinetly hangs.
Re-format SDcard(exfat)= same thing.

5.1 nand restore, said fuck it, updated officially to 7.0.1 through the sytem update. SAMETHING, atmosphere doesnt boot and gives fatal error 2021-008.

$$ a brand new sd card from Best Buy, put Kosmos on it, doesnt boot, format and put atmosphere from github on there and doesnt boot. Nothing comes up after nintendo boot screen.

Am I just stuck on 5.1 at this point?!
 
6 is the fuse count for 5.0. and 5.1. Somehow you avoided them getting burned, which is a good thing :)

Sadly I don't think I'm qualified enough to help. Hopefully someone else with more knowledge can jump in and help...
I'll read around to see if I find anything on it :)
 
Did you delete old files? That's what I had to do when I went 6.2 to 7.0.1. I removed all the folders that Atmosphere uses and the files on the root (backup your mods beforehand) then extracted Kosmos.

Used hackdisk mount to delete all system files except the 00000120. Booted up and did the system initialize process (created profile, went through the steps,etc). Updated to 6.2 with choidujournx, chose exfat option. Now back to square one, no cfw or ofw will boot. Can boot all on 5.1
 
I updated to 7.0.1 officially through settings than updates running cfw. Could not boot cfw or ofw afterwards. Downgraded back to 5.1 can only boot cfw, ofw does not work
 
Did not burn fuses. I booted into cfw with hekate. Then went to system and chose to update. Downloaded the update officially.
 
I booted sysnand I didn't care about ban. Downloaded update from Nintendo servers on cfw but still didn't work. Going to try again later today
 
Yes. I went from 5.1 to 7.0.1 after downloading and installing the update from Nintendo. I booted into maintenance mode and confirmed after switch rebooted from installation. System showed 7.0.1. Tried to boot into ofw through hekate and cfw atmosphere 0.8.5 both unsuccessfully. Did not try to boot into ofw with autorcm off because I didn't want to burn fuses. Restored 5.1 nand and cfw working again.
