Problem solved. He went to the maintenance menu and factory reset the switch. After that he could boot through hekate.
Whenever I hold both volume buttons,it takes me back to hekate menu

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

is there any other way to get into maintenance mode?

Well it's not really solved yet...
I could boot in the mainmenu and i did the factory reset. After that i could boot with hekate into CFW.
Therefore i copied Atmosphere and Hekate on the SD (see the guide above).

The problem now is:
I can boot into CFW and it shows me Systemversion: 1.0.0|AMS 0.13.0|S in the Settings, but i cant open Homebrew. Everytime I Press the Album Icon it shows me (just with A) Error Code 2162-0002 (ox4a2)
Programm: 0100000000001000
Firmware: 1.0.0 (Atmosphere 0.13.0-master-32951329)

An error has occured.


I have downloaded Firmware 10.0.4 but i cant even go into Homebrew..

Whenever I hold both volume buttons,it takes me back to hekate menu

Go into Hekate, Select Launch, than put your Thumb on Vol up & down (press both) and then klick on Stock. That should let you boot into maintenance mode

thats what i first did. It just opens Album and it says no screenshots saved yet. I repeat that until the blue screen come with the Error Code i posted.

Edit:
I have still no Sigpatches or something else than Atmosphere and Hekate on my SD. Im trying to find a guide but i cant find anything...

Try the older atmosphere as suggested above. But 1.0.0 support was always iffy.

You don't need sigpatches for homebrew. But as you probably use it for something else, yes, you are gonna need sigpatches (which can be found by googling).

i have installed Atmosphere 13 and updated my firmware to 10.0.4.

The Switch is working and i can boot into cfw and ofw by hekate. I can install with Goldleaf via USB but it worked when i copy the nsp on my SD card. I installed a game but i couldnt start it because it asked me to link my nintendo account. Of course i didnt want to go online with cfw so i went into ofw and created one. Back to cfw the link was gone. When i'm in CFW it keeps asking me for my account, is there a way to bypass this? The CFW cant read my cartridge but the OFW can?

And you don't have EmuMMC?

Thank fuck for you lol..

Im glad you managed to get back into rcm.

Be gentle on that usbc port,
And like I say to everyone
make a backup of your switch please.

All can be done in hekate.

Happy you got it working.

I went to darthsternie and downloaded the 1.0.0 Firmware... yes i know...now... i thought its 10.0 and was happy to have the newest firmware...
How can you read that wrong? After 10.X there are no firmwares. And all releases from the site are "sorted" by 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 etc. No one can misread this. Sorry, but this is a stupid pretext in my eyes. But iirc, fusée gelée consoles shouldn't be downgraded to 1.0.0. You're screwed. Maybe a bypass downgrade can help. But correct me if i'm wrong. And how fucking much do they say "Create a backup. For the case something goes wrong, you can restore it".

Maybe read a few posts up and see how screwed they were
