Without your boot0/boot1 and Prodinfo (which are all part of the Nand backup you did not make), you're borked. That's that, get a new console and stop doing really, really stupid shit conducting severely uninformed actions like restoring another console's NAND backup.

I didn't do it anyway, my brother did, and I'm trying to ask the experts and find a solution. Nothing left to do then, thank you answer.

Again if you have your original biskeys and the biskeys for the backup that got restored there is a very small chance... but I don't like the odds....

edit: to clarify there is a way to sign someone elses backup with your keys, this is alot of work and the console still won't boot. Provided prodinfo is valid.... I wonder..... I need to do some more testing soon it seems

To create a new NAND from Scratch you HAVE to have a valid Prodinfo. Which you cannot generate, not a chance in hell. You gotta have a backup.

I disagree... a valid prodinfo is any prodinfo that hasn't been modified or corrupted. It might not be valid for that console, but it is still a valid prodinfo.

There is no way we know of yet to generate a new prodinfo, however, what I said about resigning the backup to have your keys is correct, there isn't a way to currently boot it, but if there was (most likely some sort of patch) then you could do that, also using a donor nand to bypass pikabricks, while you couldn't connect online, the console would still boot.

Friends, I'm doing all the stages with downgrade method and the last stage gives such error when I run this "FS_XXX-exfat_nocmac_nogc" file.

That's not an error.

boot0/boot1 can be recreated.

I guess you can try to return the thing if warranty isn't already expired - there were precedents when Nintendo repaired jailbroken consoles, so it might work out with you too (although it's not guaranteed for obvious reasons).
