Do you have a NAND backup from that Switch? If not, the Switch probably isn't recoverable.

I'm curious, how do you flash the wrong nand, surely you wouldn't even attempt to flash the nand unless you thought you had a backup, if not, what were you trying to achieve.

Either way your switch is dead

you follow the guide to get a working nand again then update to the latest from there. REMEMBER only works for UNPATCH SWITCHES

But i d remove all sys modules and title mods to and make sure your sd files are up to date first and see if it fixes it

it's also possible he may have a backup from incognito? do u have a emunand on sd card u could pull it from that otherwise yes u would need a new one
Yeah, check your sd card for a prodinfo backup, even just booting up atmosphere for example would create one. It's likely you have one, or even if you wiped your sd you could recover it.

In hope that it's not too late by now... The fact that your backups are called XAW0000... means that you used Incognito and the backups Atmosphere made are from after that.
With this your PRODINFO backup is trash (try to find the original with the same serial as your Switch), but your BISKEYS are what could save you.

Ok, thats good news. Check if the SBK from your photo matches the "secure_boot_key" in your prod.keys file.

If it is, first thing: Make a FULL backup of the current state of your Switch. BOOT0 AND BOOT1 AND SYSTEM.
It does not matter that they are not working right now, but you might need them if something goes wrong. (like it already did)

With this, it should be possible to >RECREATE< your NAND. You should now be able to find someone able to help you witht that.

Remember: Without a valid certificate, which incognito removed (and you should have a backup of on the SD used at that time), you will not be able to use Nintendo Services.
