I think I've possibly bricked my switch.

I was using Reinx with autobootRCM enabled, on 5.1.0, but I'd never enabled the exFAT firmware.So I decided to do use choidujourNX to install 5.1.0 exFAT.
The installation was successful, it said the system would reboot. I choose the option to shutdown the system.

But now, I am not able to boot the system at all.
I tried injecting Reinx and Hekate, I tried a different FAT32 card and redid all the files in it.
TegraRCM finds the device in RCM mode, and it even says the payload injection was succesful, but the Switch just wont boot, it keeps on a black screen.

I have a NAND backup but, if the system wont boot, I have no way to restore it.

Can it be undone? Any suggestions of what I should try? Any payload that I might get a response?

Thanks in advance.

(in case you didn't noticed, I'm a noob, and from Brazil... So I'm sorry for any mistakes or lack of clarity)

I have rebooted it several times. I think I'm gonna try one more time, everything from scratch...

Is there an "easy" way to undo AutoRCM to see if I can get a boot on stock firmware? Since I stayed on 5.1.0, I shouldn't get any burnt fuses, right?

If you can't get RCM payloads to work, you can't uninstall AutoRCM. If you do remove AutoRCM, that shouldn't affect your fuses if you're still on 5.1.0 and already had six burnt efuses. If TegraRCM recognizes your Switch in RCM, then the Switch and AutoRCM are probably not the problem. Neither is the SD card.

Did you reformat your memory card to exFAT, since your firmware already set to read exFAT partition, try doing it...

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
