Hi to all, a friend of mine tried to update his SysNAND with ChoiDujourNX, but he choose 1.0.0 instead 10.0.0, so well, brick happened.
He was on 9.2.0 before this, with no NAND backup.

I've followed this tutorial with ChoiDujour for PC, but still doesn't boot. I have BIS keys backup.
https://switch.homebrew.guide/usingcfw/manualchoiupgrade

When launch Hekate, it hangs on boot screen. With Atmosphere, just got a quick logo flash (atmosphere logo) and then goes to black.

Any help is appreciated.

Same thing happend here. Installed 1.0 instead 10.0 .Is there a solution for starting ChoiDujourNX from Hekate Boot menu?
Or reset it completely from the hekate menu?

I have a backup from older version 9.x something. Can i just insert the backup without damage?

I'm getting this on ChoiDujour: " Making a request to URL http://choidujour-reloaded.tk/firmware/23f9df53e25709d756e0c76effcb2473bd3447dd.json
No index on server for NX-5.1.0. This firmware is not supported(yet?)
" and not finalizing on making files. Any ideas?

Dear I am from Chile and I think the same error managed to solve this problem, if we can correct the issue if you send me a private month

Hey guys, did you advance something?
let me know if I can support you
P.D agüante cuarentena!! :D

I have the feel firmware 10.0 causes misreading issues. No one can tell me that you can't see the difference between this two firmware versions...

The Problem is when you go on a specific Page where you can find the firmware... and the FIRST Entry on the site looks like this

You are in a hurry and think "hey of course its the actual one" and booom! Fail. Lucky I had a Nand Backup etc. Was able to safe. Without it would be a defintiv brick!

Yeah. And the pre-release is 1.0.0...whatever. It's clear that this isn't 10.X.X. All firmware versions are listed after release date. So, no one can misread that.

That's bullshit. If you try to update the console manually, you should take your time.

Exactly what BaamAlex said! If you're in the business of hacking your console, you should not rush anything. Doing otherwise is a recipe for disaster. Just look at the dozens of people who started fooling around with hacks without taking the time to do a NAND backup first. Later they get in trouble and ask desperately here how they can recover. :rolleyes:

Whatever you mean. It happened :)
And yes you are both absolutely correct: such thing should never done in a hurry. But it happened.
There are a lot of things that should be overthaught and done in no rush. But there always things happening... Even such dumb firmware fail update.

I am just happy everything's works again.
Next time I write "I am asking for a friend" hehehe

I have already started my nintendo switch, if someone else has this problem they should do the following:

0. Make a copy of your NAND completely
1. You must download HacDiskMount
2. must have tegrarcmGUI V 2.6
3. they must have the keys to their nintendo switch
4. run tegrarcmGUI V 2.6, go to the tools tab and mount eMMC rawNAND.
5. then we run HacDiskMount as administrator and mount the partition that is approximately 29 GB
6. then we go to the SYSTEM partition and show the drive for that we must enter the corresponding bis_keys and we go to the SAVE folder and delete all the files except one ending in 120
6. Then we go to the USER folder and delete everything in the folders.
7. Then we install in our SD hekate and launch the stock version and ready to start the console.

I hope it helps you,

In the end I managed to solve, I write all the steps:

Make sure after the dowgrade to firmware 1.0.0 made by mistake, to make a complete copy of the nand memory, if you have already tried to upgrade with choidoujur restore the nand before proceeding.

Follow the steps posted by gonzandunguero:

1. You must download HacDiskMount
2. must have tegrarcmGUI V 2.6
3. they must have the keys to their nintendo switch
4. run tegrarcmGUI V 2.6, go to the tools tab and mount eMMC rawNAND.
5. then we run HacDiskMount as administrator and mount the partition that is approximately 29 GB
6. then we go to the SYSTEM partition and show the drive for that we must enter the corresponding bis_keys and we go to the SAVE folder and delete all the files except one ending in 120
6. Then we go to the USER folder and delete everything in the folders.

Download atmosphere 0.10.4 together with fuse-primary.bin

Copy the contents of the zip file inside a micro sd formatted in fat32 (exfat will not work).

Use tregrarcmGui and inject the previously downloaded fuse-primary.bin.

The console will start and you will need to reconfigure accounts and settings.

Download choidoujurnx 1.0.2 and firmware 10.0.4 and update.

After updating, convert the micro sd to exfat again and use your favorite custom firmware to start the console .

P.s: from the backup of the nand you can extract the folders present in the user partition using hackdiskmount and restore the saves of your games, find other guides on the net to do it.

I hope I can help you
