Hacking Switch bricked after downgrade/nsp instalation

Arclight221 · Mar 20, 2019

Hi everybody

I post here after a lot of houres of research.
And sorry for my poor english, i'm french.

So my switch was on 6.2 firmware and I used Reinx custom firmware. But I accidently done this fucking update to 7.0. After that I used atmospher bescause it was the only cfw wich support 7.0 firmware, but I wasn't satisfied, so I downgraded it with choidujourNX to 6.2 firmware and disable Autorcm.
Everything gone well and I tried to install a NSP and it failed with error message, wich asked me to reboot or shutdown. And big mistake I simply pushed the power button to reboot.

So now my switch got a black screen and didn't restart, and no rcm too.
I try to shutdown by pushing a lot of second on power button but nothing.
Try PC connection but nothing on tegrarcmgui
Try to charge it, with and without dock

I have no more idea so please help me guys.

Thanks

are you sure your battery is charged? because usually its possible to boot in rcm

You probably ran out of battery. It's impossible for a failed nsp install to f up your rcm, even that brickachu installer can't do that.

Plug it in to the wall for around 1 hour and then try to send an RCM payload to the device. No NSP could brick the RCM mode

If you installed 7.x without autorcm then you burned fuses and 6.2 can't ever boot without using rcm, to use your switch you would need a working jig and hold the volume up buttons to get into rcm when pressing power. If you can then send a payload and boot your switch then I would enable autorcm.

Thanks dude .
I succefully enter in rcm mode I dont understand I have try and re try but today it's work.

Never loose hope !

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I will try to upgrade it with choidujour in 7.0 and use reinx like cfw
I put autorcm on for now
