9 fuses = 7.0.1 to 8.0.1

since you deleted Nintendo folder it may take a few trys to get past the logo screen and keep it fat32 with 32kb cluster size if it isn;t already for testing

is there anything

EDIT. you can't used someone else emunand as its tired to the hardware id/serial/keys etc

Yes, 9 fuses = 7.0.1 to 8.0.0 but I burned the fuses from 7.2.0 to 8.0 (then there would be 9 fuses burned) then I did downgrade from 8.0 to 7.0.1 and that's where everything started, why does not there exist executable choidujour from hekate? I think it would be a good idea. In the same way I will prove what you say

It would be good for those who have bricked their console, I am not sure if it's actually possible though. choidujour needs stuff dumped from the console, which you will get from a backup you made before it bricked. If your switch is bricked now then it may just not be possible.

Do you have a full backup and all your keys etc from before?

That tutorial always gives error I've tried and I've seen several people who could not complete it, it's also for low firmwares, my switch is stuck in 7.0.1 (should) by the downgrade I did and has 9 fuses burned. I wish there was something like Godmode of 3ds in switch, I have seen that it is able to repair bricks and clean the nand.

Will you have a final idea of what I could do to repair it? It does not matter if hardmod is necessary, I can do it

On the black screen, can you see the power menu or volume overlay if pressing the buttons?

I should asked this before but why did you put this switch down what was last thing you did when it working? Were you on 5.x.x? Could it be the third party charger issue?

EDIT Here the source for the downgrade guide
https://switch.homebrew.guide/usingcfw/manualchoiupgrade
I will try to be as explanatory as possible. one-. I had my original firmware in 6.2 and the custom sysnand (I think it would be like that, I do not know [basically when I started the hack]) was in 7.2 and updated by accident to 8.0 (= 9 fuses burned) then I did downgrade to 7.0. 1 because by that time there was no support for 8.0 and as I had read there was no problem in doing downgrade. Basically that was it, when doing downgrade and the 7.0.1 update will be installed, I got a notice of atmosphere error (an announcement that normally occurs when the console freezes or a program has problems etc etc) when trying to start it again it did not go beyond the Nintendo logo.

if you saying it crash during the downgrade then it maybe corrupted if you can get into hakate?

if so if you have nand backup try restoring the boot0/1 and full raw nand then try booting with hekate

1. place the backup files on sd card in folders /backup/xxxxx/restore/*.* (if you don;t know what xx is then go to step 2 and it say where its trying to look and you get the correct directory structure

2. so in hekate go to Tools>restore backup> then run the restore for both of above

3. then you can boot with hekate either stock or cfw. try stock first

else you might need to rebuild the nand with that guide

I've always had doubts about that guide but I think I can try again because I have more knowledge than the first time and apparently it is a little more updated, what I do not know is that if I install a version such as 3.1.0 (the version in which my switch came on its first day) will my console start? Because I would still have 9 burned-out fuses

i would try fw 6.2 to 8.0.1 no lower than 4.1. with hekate you can boot any fw since bypass the fuse check but anything lower than 4.1 uses an old fw for the game card slot which means if u were in 3.0.1 the slot wouldn't work

I will do what the guide says, I will try to do it this week. Thanks for your time, I'll let you know if I can fix it :)

remember try 4.1 or higher since lower will stop the game card slot stop working
Hey man, I have reviewed the guide and I have read enough forums and say that Choidujour does not work in Followiards of 6.2 onwards and that is why several people happen to the same error as to my in the ChoiDujour
