You can't downgrade directly to 6.2. You will need to downgrade to some 5.x firmware and afterwards upgrade to 6.2 with ChoiDujourNX.

okay i have a 7.1 back up but i see that its not supported
i goofed and am on 8.1.0 so now i need to try and downgrade to what 5.0.0 and then back up to one
not sure where to find said update firmware files though some things say itll always need to be in autorcm which i thought wasnt a good thing to do?

I’m not sure why people make a big deal out of downgrading as long as you know no fuses where burnt upgrading to your 7.0 firmware, just grab the 6.2 firmware files put it on your sd card in a folder boot up ChoiDujournx and select your 6.2 folder and choose exfat firmware install and reboot, job done it’s easy as that! No need for that downgrade to 5x rubbish, I’ve done it myself from 6.2 to 7.0.1 and back to 6.2 no issues whatsoever when I did it. Remember as long as you 100% know for sure no fuses are burnt when upgrading your switch firmware there’s no reason why you cannot downgrade back again to the same firmware.

i dont even know what the fuses are but i can check them and it seem im over the amount and it seemed choi didnt work with 6.2 to 8.1.0

i also need to see if choi will work on 8.1.0 to see if i can
And dont have any firmware to downgrade to atm other than the original which i might go ahead and drop in and see if i cant use the hek to just downgrade by restoring the old one

As long as you're booting with hekate or fusee, you don't need to worry about the fuses.

well i managed to find some software and fixes for 8.1 for now but and still going to learn how to downgrade

The fuses are what you burn upgrading officially with your switch, you did realise if you have been upgrading officially via your switch without ChoiDujournx you burn fuses then you can’t downgrade? Check hekate that will tell you your official fuses you can downgrade too.
