so the point is. i try this
Since you wanna install some update I recon, you want to get the global key list. So Choidjour can open it.
And this
additionally instead of choidujour you could follow this guide for the nand rebuild section (still needs a few keys)
and i create a FW with choijoudur, but i can't enter in the "SYSTEM" AND "USER" partitions because my biskeys doesn't match. then i see the "unbrick_pack" and i get a NAND without keys but, how i write my keys if i keep in the same "fail entropy" with my keys in hacdiskmount?

I have a switch i bough from ebay that has corrupt keys. I think the Boot 0 and Boot 1 files are bad but am not sure. at any rate I would like to re-install 10.2.0but can find no way to do it without providing a keys file. Is there anything i can do or is it a lost cause. Everything i have tried to restore the switch has failed because everything i can find has to use a valid biskey file. Can anyone give a suggestion what to do?

Matt should be about to help you fix your boot files but your proinfo is impossible to rebuild so it would have to be an offline switch

Thanks pcwizard. It seems mattytrog is no longer in the loop. His profle you referenced says he hasn't been active since April, 2020. I don't care if the switch is an offline only unit. I just want to be able to boot into Horizon and play "official" roms on it. I can't seem to find a way to get it to that state. There must be a way to put the OS on it. They can do it in the factory.

So ... finally I fixed my switch with a nand donor and I could tell if your biskey 0 (Prodinfo) is ok the only thing you are going to do is to use choijoduor with your biskeys and a firmware to generate a "new part" of the nand and replace it in your nand (it will generate a boot0 and a new boot 1 as well)

Right. Quick one.

Don`t know if a mod / admin can answer this.

People are bricking their switches during downgrade, looks like more-and-more, the BOOT0 is messed up.

I have created / edited some boot 0 / 1 for different firmwares.

In a nutshell, all calib. data would remain, boot0 are chopped just before the keyblobs at 1536kb

It isn`t piracy, but rather a means to an end for people to fix their consoles.

I have autoRCM and normal versions. You restore them with my modded hekate (ignoring incorrect size).

What do people think? Will it fly?

Someone on here said "Discord". But I can`t get my head around that and the bleeps are enough to make Mary Poppins swear.

Hello, I'm trying to restore an old backup of a friend's switch but i he didn't made a backup of boot0/1, do you still have that files? It would be really helpful

Do you know why choidujour says "Only one input firmware file/folder argument is allowed, you gave 2" when i'm generating boot0? I used this command and i've got all files in their place
ChoiDujour.exe \-\-keyset=keys.txt fw
Spaces in filenames/folders?

Oh, I did it, there were a problem in the command, moito obrigado
Honey, tell me "Muito obrigado" when you have that trinked fixed, yes?
Please tell people if you got it working, preferably how you did it to help others with your predicament, in your original thread.
That would be hot.

Sure, I followed that step in a video:

The command is "choidujour.exe --keyset=keys.txt fw"

Could you please make a tiny writeup?

I'll explain:
That way, you will make a written article, that appears in searches, and people can find hrlp in your findings.

Gracias, compañero.

And you have the Switch in working order, yet?
