Need to find someone in the Toronto Ontario area(or North of) to unbrick my switch
I tried and my nand backup is no good. Now it won't even go into RCM mode.
Please Help

Was your nand backup from a different firmware version, and did you update and burn fuses?

It is my understanding that if you restore a backup and the fuses don't match, you should still be able to enter rcm.

What happens when you plug your switch into your PC and boot tegrarcmgui?

Btw, did you have autorcm enabled or no?

If you cant fix your switch contact me privately. I know someone in the states that can probably get it fixed

It's nice that you want to help, but I would also say to you @MeatieMeat to be careful who you send anything to - and especially to very new members without anyone to vouch for them or contacts to prove they are trustworthy

No dig against you, but I would be wary to send anything to someone who registered 2 days ago

And you have no backup from before you restored the old nand?

following Mattytrogs steps:
Brief instructions...
1) Dump all files in Dump To SD to SD card.
2) Install TegraRCMGUI
3) Get BIS keys. Use BISkeydump or launch Switchboot (in tools / info - dump all keys)
4) Restore console using "Use On PC" - "6.2.0 restore Files".
5) Restore from file:

BCPKG2-1-Normal-Main.bin
BCPKG2-2-Normal-Sub.bin
BCPKG2-3-SafeMode-Main.bin
BCPKG2-4-SafeMode-Sub.bin

5) Restore using BIS keys... Add your correct BIS key, CHECK ENTROPY...

If green and OK... Tick passthrough zeros and mount. In mounted drive(probably A:),
copy all over to correct folder...

BIS key 1: SAFE is empty. Here for posterity
BIS key 2: SYSTEM - Copy all over
BIS key 3: USER - Copy all over

Power off... Launch Switchboot.bin with TegraRCMsmash or whatever

Go to tools/info option in menu
Restore BOOT0/1 without size check (in red at bottom)

Enable autoRCM if needed...

IMPORTANT:
Go back to main menu...

Go to payloads menu...
Go to SD:/

Launch fusee-primary.bin
Complete.

Go to Album / choidujour and update to one of the included firmwares (7.0.1, 8.0.0 or 8.0.1) if required.

Complete. Well done.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
     +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
     +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
