Hello,

I have done a mistake with a switch. I actually just wanted to have an update of a game that was on another Switch, because I did not find it in Tinfoil.
But in the process I accidentally updated my firmware, which I saw too late.
Now I have update 13.2.1 on it, with Hekate 5.6.5.
When I put Hekate 5.7.0 on the SD card, it briefly shows the Hekate screen and then turns off again.

What else do I need to do to save the switch?

EDIT:

Ok, I just forgot to put the right payload in the root directory.... Now Hekate starts and I can select the CFW, but the screen stays black.

Depending upon what you upgraded from you probably need to change your hekate_ipl.ini to point to fusee.bin. Fusee-primary and fusee-secondary were replace by fusee and package3. Can also remove the sept folder as it’s no longer used. While you’re there you should update you Sigpatches.

I recommend you look through a guide and see what steps you missed during your forced upgrade:
