Hacking I attemped to restore my switch to ofw without nand backup

[Lacius]

I did not

Do so and type the following for Step 7 in the guide:

ChoiDujour.exe --keyset=keys.txt fw

Can you show me an example of how the path is done? I keep getting it wrong.

Sorry for the late response.

For Windows, open up command-prompt and enter the following:

cd %HOMEPATH%
mkdir .switch

Then navigate to this directory and place your prod.keys inside.
The full path should be something like:
C:\Users\<Your-Username>\.switch\prod.keys

For Linux, open up terminal and enter the following:

cd $HOME
mkdir .switch

Then navigate to this directory and place your prod.keys inside.
The full path should be something like:
/home/<Your-Username>/.switch/prod.keys

Create a folder named "fw" inside of your ChoiDujour folder and put the system version there.

Which software version are you trying to use?

 

[Katlin]

Which software version are you trying to use?

8.1.0

 

[Lacius]

8.1.0

If you had actually followed my instructions, or the guide, you would know that you can't use anything higher than 5.1.0 in this tutorial.

I have 9 out of 64 burnt fuses I also can't boot into ofw there is not option

You still need to use 5.1.0 for the time being. Follow my instructions. When you're done with the guide, you will have to use Hekate to boot your system until you update it to 7.0.0 (9 fuses) or higher.

Your keys.txt might be bad. I don't know where you got it.

my switch before brick

For those reading this thread, we solved it over PM. The problem was extraneous lines in the keys.txt file that needed to be removed.

Let me know what you think............. "x'ed out some of my key info"

 

[Lacius]

Heres where i am, when I try to generate the firmware update in ChoiDujour I keep getting this error:

Remove each of the keys from your keys.txt file that are giving you errors.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

I need major help I followed this guys video on how to get back to original firmware I'm freaking out because my switch won't boot it just stays at the logo.

Just wanted to note that there's no way to go back to a clean firmware if you don't have a clean NAND backup. ChoiDujour also wipes logs that would not be blank on a legit console, and this is easy for Nintendo to detect.
