Hello everbody,
I really need help with something related to the migration from SXOS to Atmosphere. I have a hacked Switch Lite with a SXOS modchip V3.1.0 in firmware 11.0.0. I followed all the instructions to migrate it to Atmosphere but I kept getting this error when I tried to launch Atmosphere:

Wrong pkg1 flashed:
Erista pkg1 on Mariko
Trying backup bootloader...
Found pkg1 <'pg PG~'>
Wrong pkg1 flashed:
Erista pkg1 on Mariko
Failed to Launch HOS


I have no emuNAND and I wasn't the one to update my system (it was the technician that installed my modchip). I read on reddit that it's a softbrick of sorts and that I'd need a BOOT0/BOOT1 donor to then restore my NAND to make it work, but I know no one that could give me the archives unfortunately. I wanted to ask if this is correct, and if anyone could donate or help me getting these archives, I really want to be able to play the new games but all of them require 13.0.0 :(

Thanks in advance!

If you are lucky, you just missed 1 step in the conversion process. Reset and retry.
If you are unlucky, you need a boot0.bin image.
People refer to XBins but I could not find it there. It is supposedly called something like Boot Recovery Package.
Others refer to the Nintendo Homebrew discord.

I retried it numerous times, unfortunately nothing works.
Couldn't find the boot0.bin image in XBins either, and on the Nintendo Homebrew Discord they sent me a unbricking tool but I can't make head or tails of it

I'm so desperate I'm willing to pay whoever lends me their boot0.bin image, not even kidding

search "generating a fresh boot0 from scratch" on google
with this, you can make new (partial) boot0 file, where you can inject specific data from your console to build a full boot0 file

(never tried myself, but all boot0 collections are made with this method...)

Tried making a boot form scratch but it blue screened my Switch. Had to restore the NAND that I had before, the one with the messd up BOOT0/BOOT1 to make it work again :(

sorry to hear that...it seems this method is not so reliable, after all :(

EDIT : @DancingAnkha you can give this a try. I was able to forge firmware 13.1.0 BOOT0/1 (with dummy data where are stored personal data per console)
ps : if you have some "no file" error, you can add this at the top of the batch :

set PATH=C:\Windows;C:\Windows\system32

Dude, you're a miracle maker. I was able to forge BOOT0 and BOOT1 from scratch with this method and I was able to migrate to atmosphere! Thank you SO much :bow:
