I just want to take the time to mention and thank @lily2012
After asking a ton of question which were always answered quickly and with the guidance given I was able to get my switch to boot and update the firmware so that it would boot with and without RCM.
Although lily2012 is a new member...
The one i used for the Linkle prod.keys starts with
keyblob_key_00 = 4f5a86e....
The output from linkle shows keyblob_key_00 = CE96C5...
After doing all the steps and dumping my prod.key file i get keyblob_key_00 = CE96C5...
Im pretty sure my issue lies within either linkle or ChoiDujour or...
Yeah, I can confirm I restored BCPKG files without encryption.
I also tried step 14 and there was nothing in the folders anyway, I still copied it all over just in case.
Everything I've used has been the latest version from the recommended sources in the guides.
I'm restoring the full nand...
I must be doing something wrong.
Followed the guide to the letter (im 100% sure of it)
When it comes to step 13.10 "Return to the main menu, then select ‘Launch > FS_XXX-exfat_nocmac_nogc’ where XXX is the firmware version you downgraded to."
I see the Kosmos Atmosphere screen and it just...
So... With the fixed keyblob biskeydumpv9 reports no errors and dumps the keys
If I then follow the steps and use Choidujour to create the 5.1.0 firmware bins and put them on the console following this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1926&v=JTYmXY0YbJw and try to run CFW via...
Getting closer now after fixing the keyblob :)
Through hakate if I press Stock (sysnand) the Nintendo logo shows then blank screen which is more than I've had so far...
Ill continue with the firmware side of things now
Sorry to be a pain in the ass lol
I found a prod.keys file from Yuzu emulator which was added on the 22 March. Used this in my prod.key file but replaced only the tsec and secure boot keys with my dumped ones.
Ran linkle and it did output lots of data including keyblob_00 - 05...
Brilliant, thank you
Just one more question if I may.
I saw on another thread that choidujour only works up to FW 6.1 so given that the tools I can find suggest its on 5.1.0 but my fuse burn count of 12 says it's 9.1.0 - 9.2.0 I should try doing this using FW 5.1 then updating to the correct...
Using LockPick it was able to generate a prod.key file with lots of keys (45 in total) however during this process it shows some errors
Keyblob Source 0 - 5 where generated but I guess if I use these I'll get the same issues?
Using the link you sent I was able to get the BIS 0,1,2,3 Crypt and Tweak keys. Hacdiskmount actually has these pre filled and they are the same and all test ok.
I can confirm the serial at this offset is the same as my console sticker
Firstly thanks for helping :)
Using biskeydumpv9 it will show the following
HWI: xxxx...
SBK: xxxx...
SBK AESE 0 (test) : xxx....
eMMC initialized, looking for TSEC FW...

TSEC FW CRC32: b035021f - CORRECT

I've managed to get it working with the eMMc plugged in. Had to get the Jig and then it was able to correctly get into recovery mode and dump a full nand backup and boot/0, boot/1 .bins
Still wont boot into anything. Hekate says it has burnt 12 fuses which would put the firmware at 9.1.0-9.2.0...
I got an unpatched switch off eBay that was sold as not turning on.
The issue seems to be related to the eMMc. If I disconnect the eMMC and plug into the computer RCM is detected and I can boot Hekate. If the eMMc is connected to the board the PC won't see the console.
As this is from eBay I...
Hoping someone here can help as I'm at a loss right now.
I purchased a faulty unpatched switch from eBay as I'm looking to learn a bit more about 1) repairing and 2) modding. It was listed as doesn't turn on or charge and the seller stated it had never been opened. Having received the console...
I didn't know they made an MSU cart for the Genesis.... I knew about the SNES one and the library for that is rather large but the Genesis one has very few games
I finally modeled and 3d printed the new HDD cages I need in order to build my 2nd NAS. Original ones don't fit the mounting holes on the hdds I'm using. Been sitting on this project for over 2 years smfh
Also another 70TB going in the front mount drive bays of this server. 182tb raw, going to probably use a zfs RAID-Z3 for 3 parity disks, so 140TB usable
I could claw back 14tb by only doing 2 parity disks but I feel like with 13 disks in the RAID I'd be kind of pushing my luck on rebuild time if I encounter a disk failure
