Hacking I think I bricked my switch

ian2009 · Mar 26, 2020

Hi guys, I just updated my switch to 9.2.0 using the choidujournx tutorial and now I'm getting a blank screen when trying to reboot, I get the SX picture for a second when inserting the dongle but nothing after that, I've tried holding the power button down for 15 seconds but that doesn't fix it.

Update - I fixed it, I had to update the boot.dat file

What specifically did you update?

If it happens to other users and you find this thread in hope to find a fix:
it's not really bricked, if your console has RCM access you can always restore your dump?
but try other fixes first, no need to restore it if the firmware update successfully ended with ChoixDuJourNX. it's often just another thing you are not thinking about : wrong hacks file version on your SD, like for ian2009 he just had to update the SXOS boot.dat file to support 9.x.
