Hacking Question Bricked my Switch Mariko because update FW to 11.0.1 SXCore with ChoiDujourNXv102

[tonywei92]

Additional info:
- I don't think I have emunand, because memory card not showing any partition beside the one I could explore with windows file explorer.
- during update with ChoiDujourNX, i'm choose "Exfat", after reboot cannot turn on the switch, no any picture, no lcd light
- there is blue light blinking slowly behind the switch, near speaker holes when I press power button

Please help

You will need to wait for an update of SX OS that works on 11.0.1 firmware. The latest working was for 11.0 only.

But is it normal that the switch won't turn on at all besides blue light?
not event a "boot.dat?" logo showing up

Yap, it will only stay at black screen when you open it.

Since you already updated, you have an option to switch to Atmosphere fw or wait for the SXOS update which hasn't been updated for a month now.

How your SD was formatted (FAT32 or EXFAT)?
Did the light in the Switch's back switch to another color?

I would recommend you to create an EmuNAND and then follow Part 1B

In their case they have fucked up boot0 and boot1 thanks to using choi on Mariko, so atmosphere won't work anyway. They need to fix boot0 + boot1. And because this is sysnand issue, it can't be fixed by dumping sysnand files.
Dunno if it's possible to fix them other way if they don't have any backup.

Okay, currently creating emunand

Hopefully not because when I run the Atmosphere payload, it says:
Couldn't parse boot0: not enough space!

it's exactly why in combination that SX writes their own stuff to boot0/1 that it's showed.

 

[tonywei92]

I would recommend you to create an EmuNAND and then follow Part 1B

On this step:
Step 7: Select emuMMC in the main menu, then select Migrate emuMMC and finally select Emunand.

after select "Emunand" and "continue" nothing happens, no progress bar or whatsoever, please help?

additional info:
- I created the emunand using SX OS menu
- my SD card currently is exFat

so it's mean the boot0 broken or something?

When you updated with choi it wrote erista code to your mariko boot0/1 making them corrupt, you need to clean them or find a clean one to flash over.

You can backup your clean boot0/boot1 from Sysnand with Hekate and restore it on Emunand with NxNandManager on your computer
That should be enough to boot Emunand with Atmosphere, I had this problem on a few Mariko units that I had installed SxCore

to backup a clean boot requires them to have a clean boot and I still cannot believe the number of people hacking without making backups

Oh,nvm,I was wrong,he updated sysnand,sorry bout that
