SKIP THIS AND READ THE BOTTOM
So basically the other day maybe two or three days ago I installed the BrowseNX browser so I could watch YouTube on my switch again seeing as I can't use the YouTube app from the eShop because I'm using 90dns and it doesn't allow it to connect.
I installed the NRO version instead of the NSP version . The browser worked fine except for the fact that YouTube did not work which I then found out was because YouTube is not accessible on the NRO version because it does not support HTML5 video.
This was fine so I deleted the NRO version off of my SD card and then I downloaded and installed the NSP version which has been working fine and has been letting me watch YouTube which was great!
I usually leave my Nintendo switch in sleep mode but for some odd reason last night when I was done watching YouTube I powered my switch off.
About an hour ago I got in the car with my family to go somewhere and I press the power button on my switch thinking that I had it in sleep mode because that's how I usually have it when the Nintendo logo popped up I was like oh crap I completely forgot that I turned it off last night so now my switch was booting into the OFW.
I didn't think anything of it and I have 90dns enabled and I was on the airplane mode anyways so I turned my switch off after it was done booting up and then I loaded up RCM mode using my RCM jig and RCM loader ONE.
After seeing the kosmos boot screen and the other two boots screens that show up I noticed that my switch restarted from the beginning in the blue light on my RCM loader turned on which means it was loading the payload again and then it starts all over and shows me the kosmos boot logo and the other two boot logos and it keeps repeating in a cycle. If I unplug my RCM loader One and slide out the RCM jig my switch will turn on fine in the OFW but I cannot get CFW to load whatsoever it's just constant repeating boot logos.
I have Googled for the past 30 to 45 minutes and I have not been able to find any posts on here or on Reddit or videos on YouTube about this situation would someone out there be able to help me.
The only other time I've encountered the boot logos constantly repeating like this was when I did my update to the newest version of atmosphere but I accidentally forgot to copy over one of the files to my SD card once I copy that file over that was missing it worked fine.
Just for the record between the time that my switch was working in CFW last night and one hour ago when I try to turn on my switch and this problem started happening I did not unplug my SD card nor did I install or uninstall anything or change any of the files on my SD card whatsoever.

TL;DR is as follows - I accidentally turned my Nintendo switch on in OFW and now when I plug in my RCM loader 1 to load CFW my Nintendo switch just keeps showing the kosmos boot logos and then restarting the boot process over and over it will not finish booting.
I am sorry for such a long post and if there are any typos but I'm using the voice to text feature on my cell phone right now because I'm not home and nor do I have a laptop with and I didn't want to have to type all of this out on a cell phone.
I just want to say thank you to this community and everybody that's helped me because every time I have an issue with something or I don't understand something this community has always helped me out whether it was with my switch or my 3DS or my 2DS or my PS Vita or even my PS3 so thank you.
And thanks in advance for anybody that replies to this post... I really just hope that my switch isn't screwed modding wise anyways because I know I can get back to OFW but I hope I can get it back to CFW.
P.S - I am on Switch OFW 8.0.1, And I am running Atmosphere 0.9.1 - I didn't realize there was a version 0.9.2 released 4 days ago, until now.
P.P.S - I just now updated Atmosphere from version 0.9.1 to 0.9.2...But the problem still persists. I DO HAVE a backup of my original Atmosphere install from my SD Card of 0.9.1, and I also have a backup form my SD Card from an older version than that but I don't remember which version it is. Just in case it's needed for some reason...
I JUST FIXED THE ISSUE WITH THE FIX BELOW
P.P.P.S - Okay so I dont know exactly why this problem happened in the first place, but now it's working! I just updated Hekate to the newest version on my SD Card, and on my RCM Loader One. Seeing as how my switch was workign fine and I could turn it off and back on perfectly fine after I updated atmosphere to 0.9.1 the other day... I don't understand why it stopped working out of nowhere last night/this morning.... But once I updated Hekate on my RCM Loader One, it started working. Thanks anyways and sorry for such a long post that I fixed myself!
I DO have one more problem though...
So basically, the other day when I got my RCM Loader One in the mail, and I updated hekate on the RCM Loader and my SD Card... and after updating Atmosphere to 0.9.1 (Was the newest version at the time) on my SD Card...
I tried to update my Sig Patches to the newest ones. But for some reason, when I copy over the new Sig Patches to my SD Card, I get the same issue that my post talks about earlier... (Turn on my switch with RCM Loader One, and Atmosphere... and the Kosmos boot logo shows up, and the other 2 logos also show, but then my Switch jsut starts rebooting, and the Kosmos boot logo shows up, then the other 2 logos, and it keeps repeating.)
The only way I was able to fix this the other day... Was to remove the new Sig Patches, and just put the old ones that I had back on to the SD Card.
So... basically when I try to update my Sig Patches on my Switch's SD Card... When I turn the switch on, it just keeps showing the boot logos, then rebooting, over and over...
Anyone have ANY Ideas on this?
Again, I am on Switch OFW 8.0.1, and Atmosphere CFW 0.9.2 (Just updated a few mins ago), and using Hekate 5.0.0 (Also just updated)
Thanks in advance!
