Hacking Bricked Switch after restoring Backup (Blue Screen)

[PW2Cha]

Hey everyone, i already posted my Switch in the Noob Sector thread but the People suggested i should open a Thread.

So here i go, quote from my Post:
"i think i bricked my Switch.
I couldn't enter Sysnand anymore after firmware update but emunand worked. So i wanted to restore my eMMC Backup i made when i first modded my switch.
The first thing i did is i restored BOOT0 and BOOT1 which did fine but when i tried to restore rawnand i encountered an error that the file is too large. No problem i thought.
I just turn of my console, plug in a SD Card with exfat partition and the required files.
So i turned it back on and BAM! there was my Problem!
Blue Screen of Death right after turning it on. No logo no anything.
By default my console boots directly into RCM, so i thought the restored BOOT led to a normal start or something, so i tried reentering RCM Manually but i still get the Bluescreen immediatly after trying to turn it on.

Saddly i did not find any help online. Most posts about Blue Screen state that they can still see the bootlogo, enter maintenance mode and hetake.. but i can't.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!"

Can't get into Hekate?

This should be a typical EMMC chip damage. Replacing the EMMC chip and restore the EMMC backup can solve the problem.

Hello @GoodFellas

Yes, i can't get into Hekate.

So if i understand correctly, as you described, the Switch would have to be opened and i have to order a EMMC chip somewhere (i did not find a link for the chip) or get one from a donor switch?

I was hoping to get it fixed without board level repairs. I'm no expert but have basic tools to do so.

If your switch is not OLED or LITE version, you can buy this

Thanks so much for the link and the help in general, i managed to get into the Hekate and emuMMC after installing the new EMMC Chip into my Console.

I'm still not able to boot into sysnand, but i think that is something i can troubleshoot on my own.
