I backed up boot0/1 and Emmc sys prior to updating to 7.0.1 and my son just updated to what I believe is 8.0.0 I don't really know because I didn't see what he did. Cfw or stock won't launch from hekate 4.9.1, which makes sense if it's 8.0.0.
Can I just restore to 6.2.0 using those backups I made and be fine? If not I suppose waiting til hekate and atmosphere to support V8 isn't the worst
If you had autoCRM enabled and have a valid backup of your nand plus boot0 and boot1 then you're okay. If not, then we cant guarantee anything.
No doubt. Banned or not you can always make a clean nand backup. Could still be banned thoif you have a 7.0/7.01 nand backup. you can restore it because ofw8.0 is not burnt efuse after 7.0/7.01
but it seems that your backup is 6.0's . so i think you should have to restore 6.0's backup and run cfw because all cfw was fucked in 8.0.

it could be banned after his son made console update in cfw's
Damn. rip. Able to restore back?I used to think it was hard to accidentally update the switch...until I did it today trying to get the smash update. Turns out its very easy to accidentally do a system update when trying to do a software update. Well...guess Im on 8.0 now.
Uhh, Last NAND backup I made was from like 5.0.1 so probably not. I was previously on 7.0.1 so I'm pretty sure I'm stuck here for the most part. I'm not too upset about it right now so not a big deal.Damn. rip. Able to restore back?
People online dont have jobs. Are you forgetting people like things to be free?why don't you people use emunand? Never have to worry about updating by accident.
You can restore any NAND backup even with burnt fuses. You'll just only be able to boot through RCM.Uhh, Last NAND backup I made was from like 5.0.1 so probably not.

Oh cool. Hypothetically is it possible for me to downgrade to 5.X and then use choidujournx to update back to 7.0.1 since apparently 8.0 doesn't burn a eFuse so i'd be back to where I was basically. I don't know if it actually would work like that or not.You can restore any NAND backup even with burnt fuses. You'll just only be able to boot through RCM.
Yes, you can downgrade to any firmware as long as you are booting through RCM. However since you can only boot through RCM, I would recommend enabling AutoRCM since the console will become soft bricked due to the fuses being greater than the firmware. If you're going to be using a NAND backup of a lower firmware to downgrade and your boot0/boot1 were dumped with AutoRCM disabled, you would enable AutoRCM after restoring boot0/boot1. The reason is because if you enable AutoRCM before and your boot0/boot1 were dumped with AutoRCM disabled, restoring boot0/boot1 would revert AutoRCM since that is where AutoRCM is installed to.Oh cool.

Got it. Thanks. I may do that is something doesn't come out for 8.0 by the time I want to use my Switch again.

You need boot1 and boot0 to downgradeYo i accidentally updated from 7.0.1 to 8.0 too. I had a rawnand backup from OFW 7.0.1 but not a boot0/1 backup? is the boot0/1 needed for a downgrade? Or is it better to wait for atmosphere to support since i have an unpatched console?
First make a new backup, then restore your 6.2.0 firmware. At this time you can only access to your switch using hetake because of the differents fuses burnt, so you can do two things. Stay ok 6.2.0 ir update using choidujournxid like to call this thread complete but ive seen a few different replies here - if i restore to 6.2.0 backup (boot0/1 and emmc sys), will that work as long as I boot through RCM? I intend to boot through RCM no matter what anyway, we intentionally are banned and dont care about that.
assuming the above is accurate, If i do restore the 6.2.0 backup, and then update to 7.0.1 using choidujour, will that be fine as well?
