It has become completely strange. My bricked switch gives 3 different error messages. In Hekate at CFW he gives a PKG2 error, in Atmosphere a key derivation error and in Hekate StockFW a PKG1 error. I am now wondering which of the errors is the right one that is causing the brick

Try turning on the switch normally if it's in a boot loop its bricked if not it's a corrupted file so you just want to reinstall the cfw I have done this many times now

It sounds like your files are just outdated.

It‘s in boot process then he is bricked. There don‘t helps reinstalling the cfw or similar. I need only a unbrick method there can fix this 3 errors

As long as it's a RCM switch he can only brick it if the soc fails or something similar

Restore a backup?

Well you can try using ChoiDujour to rebuild your eMMC.

Sounds like a familiar problem i had. Check the sd card in disk management to see if it's formatted IN GPT or MBR

Mine was formatted to GPT which wouldn't work on my switch and it threw these kind of errors at me
