Well, if it's just a bootloader error it could be a number of different things causing that, some of which are quite fixable. But given "Failed to initialize SDMMC" from biskey, this guy's machine is indeed probably fried.
EDIT: Also, what rajkosto said.

Try using bricmii v2 from https://switchtools.sshnuke.net/ to undo the autoRCM, and then re-do the autoRCM (without rebooting to horizon, to protect your fuses), and see if that works.
everything except the PRODINFO can be regenerated, still that means you need to have backed up the PRODINFO or re-envigorate the eMMC until you can get it off safely
+ the problem might not be the eMMC itself but some power rail not delivering enough juice, since you say you can get it to boot sometimes.
Happend when I changed out a joy con rail and ribbon that I broke. The console boots straight into rcm mode unless I let the battery die. The new cable most have fried or shorted something. I did get lakka to boot from the sd. So atleast I can play emulators.
Yeah I took it out and reseated it. Same result.. What i dont understand is why I can boot linux (lakka) from sd. But when i run a payload it fails to initialize sdmmc?
Hey well atleast it helps me understand whats going on. Thanks for all the help guys. I will purchase another console and just use this for emulators.
You should be carefull with your eMMC, always open it read only, if you use memloader you should remove all files not related to SD so you are safe.
The process should always be like :
Dump eMMC files to SD
Do your edits on the SD (keep originals, check the digest, save it on hard drives, cloud whatever is safe)
Load with your payload modified system files from SD
Do not write any bit on eMMC and avoid reading it too often
For PRODIFO you can still try to dump your eMMC to extract those data and fix the corrupted part but you will need some hardware

Anybody here have a Xbox series S and a series X, is the performance difference noticeable? Not worried about 4k. I have a series X but not a series S and was curious. (Reason- I was thinking of buying a series S for a second tv, for when grandkids come over, to keep them off my X) -
