Hi guys,
So a friend of mine had posted a couple days ago regarding his switch not booting (https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-rebuild-nand-from-almost-nothing.571531/)
His switch is currently in a state the can RCM, can boot Hekate, SD Card works however no matter what tool is used the eMMC fails to init. I was dreading the worst and it seems I was right. I swapped the eMMC mini board out with a spare one from an old switch I had laying around. Booted into Hekate and I'm able to see the eMMC info. So my guess is his eMMC, although weird, is dead.
That being said, I'm in search of help for next steps. When I first hacked his switch I gave him his NAND backup but he lost it so there is no NAND backup, no nothing at this point and eMMC is dead so we can't read it.
I have 2 other Switch with that are mostly for spare parts, I was wondering if there is anyway to use the eMMC from one of those and make it functional on his switch? Or is his switch now just a 300$ paper weight?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
