There is an unbrick pack on my git...
There is not. I actually checked.

Also, to this guide (that this necrobumped post links to): Won't unbrick a brickachu/pozznx switch that effed Prodinfo. You can't create that out of any of the mentioned resources, it's only in your NAND backup.

It sure is on my Git. I put it there.

Hosed PRODINFO aka Brickachu, in theory, could be generated from a donor with the serials and cert stripped out and hashes recalculated to match the new console.

I didn`t bump this thread. Someone else did.

I tried following this tutorial, but at ChoiDujour when I try to use cmd line to convert my downloaded firmware with my keys.txt (from lockpick RCM used on sysnand), it just fails. It just says failed to execute script and also a bunch of warnings saying failed to match key. What should I do to unbrick my switch? I'm super lost at this point.

How I got into this mess:

I used SX OS with the dongle that came with the SX pro purchase. It worked for a while. I recently wanted to update firmware offline with ChoiDujourNX. I download 9.2.0 firmware and try to update. After the update, I can get into RCM and choose launch CFW, but I get a blackscreen with nothing. When I repeating with running original firmware, I get a blue screen. I tried a nand restore, but my backup seems to be bad since I can successfully restore boot00 and boot01, but the rawnand restore ends in errcode:00fffd47. I was able to inject the lockpick payload to get prod.key file which I later renamed to keys.txt, but that didn't work for the tutorial in this thread (as described above).

I would really appreciate any guidance and help with this.

I wanted to look for the unbrick pack on mattytrog's git, but I couldn't find his git either. I'd also appreciate if anyone can get me in touch with him or point me to this unbrick pack?

Bear in mind, it will only take you to 6.2.0.

Good luck sir

VictorStruggling, I got the same problem you had. Just make sure you've deleted all the WARN keys from choidujour in your keys.txt and save it as ANSI txt, It is very important!

Is there any way to use the content of this zip to make a switch with a completely nuked NAND boot again?
I bought a switch that some guy broke restoring another switch's nand on it and, while it still boots android and linux, I was wandering what could be done to make it boot again, even if it meant having a blanked prodinfo and not being able to access gamecart, title keys or stuff like that. To make it boot HOS would be the first goal.

Thanks!

Hello
I have the pack for unbrick:
Unbrick_you_switch_iha2.
but some of the instructions are a little confusing (well, for me)

into this has an empty_rawnand_nokeys, and the guide says that if I put my keys through the hacdiskmount it will give wrong entropy. In the sequence it is written that I need to restore bcpk2-5-repair_man and sub to the empty nand.
i did it and my keys keep giving wrong entropy.
I'm a little afraid to continue and put this nand on my switch.
wouldn't that change my Prodinfo?
then he would never be able to go back, because the keys would never match.

I want to try because my console is dead here, but I'm afraid of spoiling it even more.

thank you for your attention and help!
