Hello,
I tried to update my firmware via daybreak (I dumped my own sysnand firmware to use it for my emunand, like I always do) but all of a sudden the console went off in the middle of updating (while connected to the charger with 98% battery!) and now the sysnand is completely dead, I tried everything, but nothing works. after like 150 tries, I finally managed to get into RCM (thank god, not even that worked anymore).
emunand works again.
I swear I ALWAYS do backups before updating, but of course THIS time for the first time I forgot the make a new backup, so my backup is not up to date and my fuses say " burnt 7/6"....
but is there anything I can do to get the sysnand back to work?

Do you have an older sysMMC backup you can restore?

I have a 9.2.0 rawnand.bin backup, but I am (or was?) on the latest firmware.
Worst case scenario, you restore your backup, boot using fusee-primary (this will bypass the fuse count), and update to the latest system version using Daybreak.

Alternatively, you could make a backup of your functional emuMMC and restore it to your sysMMC.

Out of curiosity, why are you using an emuMMC?

Thanks for the tips, in both cases I will get banned, but it's still better than a dead sysnand I guess.
I always used emunand because it is ban-safe and I can still update sysnand and play online.
I have a 2nd, clean switch for online play, but still, why should I risk a ban if I can stay safe.
Well... except your console randomly shuts down while updating and kills your sysnand.

Your sysMMC was possibly dirtied anyway when you decided to use Daybreak with it.

Is the sysMMC backup unclean?

That's the thing, I used it with the emunand, I don't know what happened and how it affected the sysnand.
Yes, the backup is 100% clean.

I need to get some sleep now, it's almost 5 a.m. here and I can't think anymore

If the backup is clean, restoring it might not result in a ban. If you can't get the sysMMC to work, you don't really have any other choice.

For the record, my sysnand is not banned yet, and I've even used an altered BotW save on it (but haven't done anything CFW related since on it... that was all before emummc was a thing). I just never play games online. But I can still go into the shop and buy/upgrade games. The only reason to not bother with emummc is if you're already banned.

How is the SD card formatted? Also next time, don't follow a video guide.

That is not an error code. That is the offending program causing the issue. Delete that title ID from atmosphere/contents.
ok, but when i clicked for switch off the console, the screen gone totally blank, and if i try to charge it, the screen doesn't make any sign on the screen, and also it doesn't go in rcm if i try
