Unfortunately no. Still Gets stuck on the 2nd boot logo OFW. Also gets stuck on 2nd boot logo when trying to enter maintenance mode.
So here’s a last ditch thing to try…boot it up in OFW and leave it. Let it sit overnight and fully drain the battery. In the morning you will take your completely dead switch and put it on the charger for a few minutes and then try to boot. There have been several folks that were caught in this “boot loop” that fixed their switch this way.
I can try this but I can say that the battery has been fully drained already. I bought this switch about 3 or 4 months ago and worked on it a bit before, Thought it was the wifi chip so tried reballing that and that was unsuccessful. I then tried booting in maintenance mode again and then it wouldn't turn on at all. not even turning onto the 2nd boot logo. Tried charging over night and still nothing, So I had thought the battery was fried. That was about 3 or 4 months ago like I said, so When I charged it and it turned on yesterday I was surprised.
I know just enough to mess around with the boards. I'll see what I can do. At this point I would just like to replace whatever is causing the booting issue.
It sounds like you are either missing or didn't update the patches to launch backups. In either case, download the latest ones from this thread.
What firmware is your console currently on?
There are many reasons. For example, there are certain actions that can only be done in CFW sysMMC such as updating the firmware without burning fuses or for the maniacs out there, the "safer" way to play with mods online. Also, emuMMC isn't and wasn't always the standard. emuMMC was developed quite a long time after the scene had started so booting CFW on sysMMC was the only option. But more importantly, not everyone has access to emuMMC. Unlike the 3DS, emuMMC on the Switch requires a whopping 32 GB of free space which not everyone wants to or can afford.
Yes, you can (and absolutely should) use the regular Ninty update service to upgrade your clean Sysnand firmware. If you do this without Hekate as a bootloader, it WILL burn your fuses, but there’s little reason to care with 10.4. As long as you are using Hekate, the fuse count algorithm is skipped anyway.
Don't use HATS. Its not a good pack whatsoever. If you want to use a pre-bundled build of Hekate and Atmosphere, I highly recommend using DeepSea instead. I would also advise you to download your patches from this thread from now on. Its always updated regularly and they are actually verified to work.
