Hacking My Hacked Switch isnt turning on

[netpano]

So basically i put linux on my switch, i deleted the orignal switch files because i was internet banned and wanted to get linux on it,

when i was in hekate, i turned on autorcm, and forgot to turn it off after installing ubuntu,,,,,

and now not even tergrarcm picks it up, doesnt matter how long i hold on the power button, it does not turn on

please help

the whole orignal system

the whole orignal system

You mean the system NAND? If so, then you will need to recover from a previously made backup + your console's keys.

I wonder what you meant by system files? you deleted your sysnand?

Isn't Linux run from the SD Card?

i cant boot the normal switch system from hekate or just by turning it on

That must be why your Switch isn't working.

You should always make a backup before doing any permanent modifications. If you don't then you're shit out of luck.

why would you do this when linux is run from the sdcard, so you've completely wiped the sysnand, or do you mean you wiped the sdcard with emunand on it.

Based on the video, it is installed on SD card, so we are not sure what you did to your Horizon OS then.

doubt it, never known hekate to automatically wipe a switches nand for no reason.

Don't refer to video guides FYI as overtime they become outdated, especially ones that require performing critical modifications.

You must've messed up your system NAND by the sounds of it as I have already mentioned this.

Well if tegrasmash gui says no RCM probably it is not in autoRCM if you are have not manually enter RCM mode
