So if i understood you correctly, you have Boot0/1 from 6.1 and sysnand 6.2 and you're unable to restore 6.1 sysnand.

I would recommend you try and restore your rawnand.bin 6.1 using Hekate 3.2, once that's done, you should be able to boot cfw, you can run choixdujournx to update firmware to 6.2 turning on autorcm, or stay on 6.1 but you can't put your system in sleep mode anymore.

Anyways start by restoring using Hekate 3.2, if you tried 4.x and got an error (that's what i understood from what i read above).

Hope that helps,
OP should try this, but PLEASE make another backup, of current nand and keep that safe too. If his old backup is corrupted, it'll be hard to recover from.

I'm not reading this whole thread: you just have to make the package1 in boot0 match the firmware version on the rest of the NAND. use ChoiDujour (PC) to generate 6.1 boot0 and flash that or else use it to generate 6.2 everything else. that's all.

I looked at Best buy a few days ago and 1/3 of them had the old fw
If the firmware is below 4.1.0 then I believe it can be hacked. But just because it's 4.1.0 or above doesn't mean it's unhackable, you need the serial number to tell for sure. Hard to find a Switch below 4.1.0 now though.

Yes the guide is here https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-...nofficially-without-burning-any-fuses.507461/. ChoiDujour will run from Windows Command Prompt. If you navigate to the folder containing ChoiDujour.exe in Command Prompt type ChoiDujour.exe --help then press Enter. You can ask for help in that other thread on ChoiDujour usage because I'm not too familiar with its usage as I have never needed to use ChoiDujour on PC.

Well I fixed my switch. It was actually pretty simple. All I did was use a switch on 6.2.0 and backup boot0/1 then i put those in the restore folder of the bricked switch and restored it and it worked.

that was... a bad idea. i guess since keyblobs aren't used on 6.2.0 it doesn't matter but they could change key derivation and use them again and you'd be boned.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?

    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
