Homebrew Question file [8]000000000000[120] accidental deletion fix?

[mischiuwu]

Hello, i was following a tutorial to clean my switch of hacks, i just wanted my switch to look new without the hacks i had installed
I'd followed the tutorial pretty well, but because the laptop i use for hacking is incredibly broken because i dont want to use my normal laptop, i deleted the file [8]000000000000[120] which helps the switch run entirely
My switch now wont turn on, at all
Is there a way to somehow fix this? I am going to get a new switch is there isn't any solutions but i just want to know whether my switch is still savable

Did you ever make a backup before doing anything?

yes, i did, but unfortunately (due to the fact the store i bought my sd card from only did up to 16 GB :/) i could only get a small portion of the nnid backup, and when i tried that, nothing really happened

Assuming that was a system file and not from the SD and you don't have a backup, then you don't have many options. At the very least your PRODINFO/BIS keys need to be intact, which is likely. Atmosphere backs them up automatically, and this tutorial for unbricking also retrieves it if it's still there - https://guide.sdsetup.com/usingcfw/manualchoiupgrade

yes! i think i kept my keys in a text file on my laptop somewhere, in case i needed them, i'll see if this works, thanks!
