Hey everyone. my switch isnt booting. I was in Hekate and looked a my TSEC keys there and it says:

TSEC Key 3 = 0000000000000000000000000000
But TSEC Key 1 and 2 show values. Is that normal?

Also BISKEYdump spit out the same numbers for BISKEY2 and BISKEY3. Is that normal?

BIS KEY 2 (crypt) = BIS KEY 3 (crypt)
BIS KEY 2 (tweak) = BIS KEY 3 (tweak)

Did you run one of those leaked NSPS because it looks like some app changed the keys and well if you dont have a nand backup Im afraid you are bricked

I did install an NSP then my console doenst work. My NAND backup before hacking this is showing this. BISKEY DUMP doesnt show any 00000000000000000000. But when I use Hekate it says TSEC Key 3 = 0000000000000000000000000000.

My NAND backup did not fix this. Ive been working on this for 5 weeks no luck. Yesterday it booted into OFW then seconds later black screen and I cannot get it to do that again.
IVe tried rewriting a NAND using Choi computer commands and flashing over. No luck. Complete NAND and boot restore no luck. Im worried Im doing something wrong or am missing something.

Ah BIS Key & TSEC Keys are not the same. You said TSEC but also talked about BIS Key. Confusion came from this :)

I'm no expert, but if backup restoring doesn't fix it and it randomly almost works sometimes, it might be a hardware problem.

I'm having almost the exact same issue, lol.
Any luck?
