Homebrew Question Bricked My Switch Can Someone Help?

Ka_Ninja · Nov 13, 2018

Listen, I know I am a complete idiot.. I didnt make a nand backup before running hacks and such and now I am stuck on the nintendo switch boot screen. I have now made a nand backup using hekate. From my understanding, at this point my backup is considered a "damaged nand backup".

My question is how do I rebuild my nand using choidujourNX? I have another hacked switch(if I need that to do so), and the console I am having issues with goes to rcm just fine.(if that matters)

I attempted to boot a game that required a higher firmware and it crashed my console right away and powered it off. Again, I know I am an idiot. I am just wondering if someone with a bit more knowledge in this can point me in the right direction.
And my advice to anyone like me: dont get too excited over leaks and install a game and boot it without checking the firmware requirements first.

I'm really hoping for some help here, but if its not possible to recover I can buy another and just transfer my saves over to that one.(I really dont want to do this..)

EDIT: I tried to give them time to fix it but it has now all been revealed who is responsible for breaking your consoles...

Very smart to make a nand backup after you got bricked,

LOL cut me some slack.. someone said to do this and rebuild the nand using choidujourNX. Im just having a hard time figuring out how to do so

Running a higher firmware game shouldn't brick your switch, check the integrity of your sd, format it if needed and install a clean CFW solution.

Did you install the fake Let's Go Pikachu nsp that's getting tossed around? Lots of bricks coming from that.

Ka_Ninja · Nov 13, 2018

I did... any idea how to fix it? It literally showed up on the homescreen as the actual game as well

same, but i think they got me...

OkazakiTheOtaku · Nov 13, 2018

You will need to generate a new, fresh nand for your switch. I do not know how to do this as I have a backup that I can flash if this happens, but someone will probably chime in with a solution.

DonAlex · Nov 13, 2018

i hope it so much

Ka_Ninja · Nov 13, 2018

I'm hoping to hear from someone sometime soon, but I'm beginning to think I may be forced into dropping that 300 again soon lol..

This is why you don't just install things willy-nilly on your Switch, especially games that aren't even out yet.

I think it'll be a lot of work, but you will need to follow this guide. Good luck.

EDIT: Also, if the fake game damaged your ProdInfo partition, you are 100% fucked and not recovering from that without a nand backup.

Hello, I was here for the last brick thread. So like last time, I'll explain what happened.
The NSP overwrites your BIS with "80082" (boobs) and therefore it's not recoverable without a nand backup.

Christ. Is the NSP inflated to be the right size? Is it just dummy data?

Yep, it's a bunch of junk data made to be the proper size.
