Hey Guys!
I've bought a modded (HWFLY RP2040 lite) Switch Lite. I've updated the ofw partition (sysmmc?) to 18.0.0 firmware via the settings menu because I don't know that I have to update it offline. After the update the hekate boot menu never boot up, only the OFW. It acts like like a non-modded Switch. I read that I might have to retrain or reset the chip. Can you help me how to retrain it? (HATS updated to latest)
I've recorded the chip during the boot process:

The latest is 18.1.0. How did you update to 18.0.0 via the settings menu?

Actually it's on 18.0.1 I didn't update after that. I've updated from 17.x.x from the settings menu. I'm pretty noob at Switch hacking, do you know hogy to retrain this chip?

Sorry. don't know anything about the chip. But could try a few things.

First off, are you sure you're using the latest HATS? Latest is 1.71-1 from June 14th. If not grab the latest and replace all files.

Secondly, after you're 100% positive you have the latest....
Download this: https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases/

Extract the hekate_ctcaer_6.2.0.bin from the zip file and rename it to reboot_payload.bin
Place the renamed file in your Atmosphere folder and overwrite the one that's already there.

When finished, update emuMMC to 18.1.0 using Daybreak. You'll need to locate 18.1.0 FW as it is not allowed to link to it here. After emuMMC is updated, update sysMMC to 18.1.0 through the Switch settings.

I'm 100% sure that I'm using the latest HATS from telegram. I can't use Daybreak because the Switch only boots to Stock ofw, no CFW, no Hekate just Stock.
Extract the hekate_ctcaer_6.2.0.bin from the zip file and rename it to reboot_payload.bin <--- did it, still no hekate

Sorry I can't be of more help. Hopefully someone familiar with the chip will come along shortly to help out. You could also ask on the SwitchPirates subreddit.

No problem bro, thanks for trying! I'll try SwitchPirates subreddit

Hello
So , I bricked my nand because of oc and I got a nand backup that I made on 18.0.1 but I’m not sure if I can safely restore this nand without a risk of ban . Nintendo would find it weird that I play on 18.0.1 while I was casually playing on latest firmware last week nah ?

Thanks for help

If you play online with 18.1.0 and then restore to 18.0.1 you will get banned.

Hello there, If you restore a past NAND and your console already had send data to Nintento Telemetry which is not on the restored NAND is very probable you will be banned, you can read more on the thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendo-switch-banning-hub-warning.508710/

What about if I don’t go online and I upgrade the restored sysnand to 18.1.0 with daybreak , then I wipe out sysmmc with tegraexplorer ?

The problem is the local database of Telemetry vs the database of Telemery on Big N servers, if they are different you could get banned, if your NAND is connected to the net and transmitting data to Big N servers the chance of getting banned is high.

But how these data would be different ? im not gonna connect to their servers till im in 18.1.0 (like the initial firmware of the nand that i was in before it got corrupted).Like how they would flag me ? I appreciate your help by the way thanks for help

But you did connected to network on the NAND which got corrupted, THAT NAND on the past sent information to Big N servers and now is impossible to create the same information on a new NAND or an old backup. that's the risk.

mmm so what about if i had a old backup with the latest firmware. That would be the same risk nah ?Since informations would not be the same too ?

if your NAND is connected to the net and no incognito (RCM or Atmosphere's Stratosphere) yes, is a risk

Damn .So basically , if you brick your sysnand which alrealy went online by the past , restoring an old sysnand backup would be a risk even if the firmware of the backup is the same as the bricked one ?

Still won't match with what they have, would be even worse since you used Daybreak. Don't use tegraexplorer to wipe sysnand, it cause brick.

I’ve already used tegraexplorer by the past to clean a dirty nand , it didn’t brick anything.And if i had a nand backup that had the same firmware as my actual corrupted nand (the latest) , it would match what they have ? Based on what impeeza said ,restoring a sysnand backup which went online is always risky apparently.
(I really appreciate your help , thanks for taking the time to help me)
