I had an older version of my CFW Emummc system, it was 17.0.0 i think, I updated it to 19.0.0 as I read that 20.0.0 is not that good, and I updated my atmosphere and everything to the latest version, successfully of course...every game worked, everything is great.

Then I went into the OFW, it's version was 16.0.1, and as I was protected from bans, and honestly didn't care if my console got banned anyway - I went and updated the OFW, but then the OFW booted to black screen, and it either restarted to Hekate or I had to restart manually.
I tried booting from the "semi stock" boot option, same thing.
But emummc boots nicely, and it the correct 19.0.0 version.

Are there any solutions for this?

Boot stock normally, not through Hekate.
 
Okay, will try that, sure

How do I go about doing that?
still a noob with the switch

I tried to find the auto rcm option, to turn off, but there is none in hekate
It should be in Tools > Arch Bit • RCM • Touch • pkg1/2

Latest Atmosphere/Hekate supports 20.0.x, maybe you are not on the prerelease version. But in general I always suggest booting stock normally.

Yes, I found it, thanks!

But it was already turned off..it always boots into hekate either way. I don't need the little usbc plug that I used on my previous Switch I owned, so maybe it's hacked differently?

Possibly chipped. I think there is a way to bypass the payload and boot stock on modchips but don't quote me on that.
