Hacking Question Due to a faulty update my switch won't boot anymore please help.

Sidisit · May 10, 2020

Hello,

I'm Sid from there Netherlands.
I've got a switch and did a nand backup but for some reasons I lost my boot0 and boot1 files.
The switch did some sort of update and after that it bricked. I can get into hekate and flash the nand back onto the switch but when I turn it on the screen stays black and the Nintendo logo will never appear nor will it appear when I try to boot cfw. I tried a few things and maybe made it worse than it was before but I was stressed out that my device didn't work anymore.
I hope someone could give me some advice or tell me what I need to do.
Maybe it's enough if I have the correct boot0 and 1 files could someone help me getting the right boot0 and boot1?
I have a clean nand backup.
I have a biskey dump and ofw in the nand is 4.01 or 4.10.
I tried getting the correct version using python but i didn't get it to work. My nand is cut into smaller files not ending in .bin but .000 to .014. so hope someone will be able to help me.
Thank you in advance.

Regards Sid

Have you tried cleaning atmosphere titles before doing all that stuff?

If you have themes or other titles in the folder /atmosphere/titles it normally fails to boot. If you empty that folder it should work.

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.
I've done a lot to be honest. I've created a new TF card with a new install of atmosphere and kosmos.
I had a custom theme installed and did not remove it before the update. After the update I tried a lot of things and probably made things worse.
I deleted system files according to a YouTube video because I was out of options and desperately wanted to repair my console.
Is it so that the only thing you need to repair the system is the nand and the boot0 and boot1?
If that's the case I have the correct and clean nand but missing the boot files.
Thnx again for all the time and effort you spend on helping me. It's much appreciated.
