Hacking MY NINTENDO SWITCH COMPLETELY F.CKED

[andrwwww]

Hi, i need extreme help cuz, i tried to downgrade my nintendo switch with a simple tutorial, i followed step by step the video, but i got un enexpected error from atmosphere. Anyways, when i forced reset my ns the sceen became blank without color and if i try to restart RCM or anything else the console doesn't starts, even if the switch has full battery, i'm hopeless bcs i haven't any money to spend at the time. ls there anything i could do?

What Tutorial did you follow?
What switch do you have? First gen i assume because of rcm.. do u have a full backup. Downgrading without a backup would be totally careless.

Usually stuck in black screen means you are still in rcm.

Pressing power for Like 15 Seconds should power off your console.
Dont plug any device or cable in usb c Port of the Switch and Power on again... You can hold vol plus or whatever you need to enter rcm Mode though.

This has been your very first mistake/error. Never follow video tutorials, they're never up to date, and if you have any issues, the creator of such videos are not prepared nor interested in solving them for/with you, they all care about is getting views to get profit.

It sounds like you're probably in AutoRCM mode, try injecting a payload on that black screen and see if anything happens.

Don't try it. There are people out there which doesn't learn from their faults. And since ever we recommend to use a written guide. We can't force them to trust us. Sad story.

when i try to inject the payload the program says that there is no device in rcm

What Tutorial did you use? Sometimes you have to unplug your battery to make it work again.
How do you enter rcm? Hope you have not used tinfoil or something like that.

The common mistake is that ppl dont look at the "video date" when they are looking for visual guides. Pretty sure his switch is still in RCM mode if the screen is still black we get threads like this all the time when folks have auto rcm enabled. Just keep holding the power button for a long time

Press the power button for 20 seconds and your Switch should turn off completely.
Use lockpick_rcm as a payload. Press power and volume down to boot the Switch.
Lockpick has no dependencies on anything that is on your SD card.
If that works, then at least your boot process is not broken.
Then you should be able to boot Hekate. Note that messed up SD card also can cause black screens.
CFW now needs some files in the right folder on the SD card.

There are some tutorials here on Gbatemp on how to proceed from here.

so, i tried but if i boot it the tegrarcmgui doesn't recognise as rcm, what could i do

You had themes? Format your card.
Reinstall atmosphere.

Full delete the console pressing the power button for 20 seconds. After waiting three minutes after injecting the payload, letting the console boot up, press the power button for 10, 15 seconds. Does a menu appear?
