Can someone help me? I've updated to 6.1.0 but after the update, the Switch screen just stays black. I can still hold the home button and the quick menu pops up, and same for the power button menu, but I can't turn it off or restart it. Any help?
Keep pressing and count till 13, it should power off.
I do hope the installation process went well (confirmation from homebrew) and that you have a nand backup.
Powering it off like you said worked. I also changed the fullsvcperm = 1 part in hekate.ini, but after booting to CFW, the menu is still black. I'll try downgrading back to 5.1.0 and hope that works. If not, I'm boned, since I can't find my NAND backup :/
I did select exFat since I already updated to exFat before I hacked my switch. Should I still try a Fat32 formatted SD card? And if so, can I just format this one and place the CFW files on it after?
Yes. Try it with your actual card.
Note that when installing a new fw with ChoixduJour, you have to reinstall the exFAT update by selecting that option (even if you previously had it!)
From what I've read on a reddit thread, formatting to Fat32 seems to fix the issue. What would I do if I then want to get exFat support? Also, thanks for taking the time to answer

You use the homebrew again to install the same FW but this time you select Exfat. You can then format your card as Exfat and you should be good to go.
Good day to you.
Just to make sure I understood, I should redownload the sd files and place them on a fat32 formatted card? Or is it enough to just copy my files and then paste them after formatting? I did the latter and it didn't change anything (can't say I'm surprised).

I managed to get it working. What I did was format it to exFat and then download the latest SDFiles. Thanks Zumoly for the help!

Can it install directly from a pending system update folder (system partition), or does it need to be extracted to SD first?
I'm not in this situation, that's just for my knowledge of what this tool is capable of.

Maybe the archive bit is your problem. Try to execute sudo chflags -R arch /Volumes/<SD card>/Firmware on your shell, while the SD card is connected to your mac.
- Search for "Terminal" and open it
- Type in ls -la /Volumes/ and execute it with Enter
- Connect your SD card to your mac
- Type in ls -la /Volumes/ again. Compare the new output to the one you got on step 2. Which volume is new? This one should be your SD card
- Type in sudo chflags -R arch /Volumes/<Your SD card Volume>/Firmware and execute it
- Safely eject your SD card

When do you get that error? After opening the Terminal? Just for clarification, you should get a window like this one:
If you don't get such a window, then try to search for an application named bash instead.
