Need to find someone in the Toronto Ontario area(or North of) to unbrick my switch
I tried and my nand backup is no good. Now it won't even go into RCM mode.
Please Help

Was your nand backup from a different firmware version, and did you update and burn fuses?

It is my understanding that if you restore a backup and the fuses don't match, you should still be able to enter rcm.

What happens when you plug your switch into your PC and boot tegrarcmgui?

Btw, did you have autorcm enabled or no?

If you cant fix your switch contact me privately. I know someone in the states that can probably get it fixed
It's nice that you want to help, but I would also say to you @MeatieMeat to be careful who you send anything to - and especially to very new members without anyone to vouch for them or contacts to prove they are trustworthy

No dig against you, but I would be wary to send anything to someone who registered 2 days ago

And you have no backup from before you restored the old nand?

following Mattytrogs steps:
Brief instructions...
1) Dump all files in Dump To SD to SD card.
2) Install TegraRCMGUI
3) Get BIS keys. Use BISkeydump or launch Switchboot (in tools / info - dump all keys)
4) Restore console using "Use On PC" - "6.2.0 restore Files".
5) Restore from file:

BCPKG2-1-Normal-Main.bin
BCPKG2-2-Normal-Sub.bin
BCPKG2-3-SafeMode-Main.bin
BCPKG2-4-SafeMode-Sub.bin

5) Restore using BIS keys... Add your correct BIS key, CHECK ENTROPY...

If green and OK... Tick passthrough zeros and mount. In mounted drive(probably A:),
copy all over to correct folder...

BIS key 1: SAFE is empty. Here for posterity
BIS key 2: SYSTEM - Copy all over
BIS key 3: USER - Copy all over

Power off... Launch Switchboot.bin with TegraRCMsmash or whatever

Go to tools/info option in menu
Restore BOOT0/1 without size check (in red at bottom)

Enable autoRCM if needed...

IMPORTANT:
Go back to main menu...

Go to payloads menu...
Go to SD:/

Launch fusee-primary.bin
Complete.

Go to Album / choidujour and update to one of the included firmwares (7.0.1, 8.0.0 or 8.0.1) if required.

Complete. Well done.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
