Need to find someone in the Toronto Ontario area(or North of) to unbrick my switch
I tried and my nand backup is no good. Now it won't even go into RCM mode.
Please Help

Was your nand backup from a different firmware version, and did you update and burn fuses?

It is my understanding that if you restore a backup and the fuses don't match, you should still be able to enter rcm.

What happens when you plug your switch into your PC and boot tegrarcmgui?

Btw, did you have autorcm enabled or no?

If you cant fix your switch contact me privately. I know someone in the states that can probably get it fixed
It's nice that you want to help, but I would also say to you @MeatieMeat to be careful who you send anything to - and especially to very new members without anyone to vouch for them or contacts to prove they are trustworthy

No dig against you, but I would be wary to send anything to someone who registered 2 days ago

And you have no backup from before you restored the old nand?

following Mattytrogs steps:
Brief instructions...
1) Dump all files in Dump To SD to SD card.
2) Install TegraRCMGUI
3) Get BIS keys. Use BISkeydump or launch Switchboot (in tools / info - dump all keys)
4) Restore console using "Use On PC" - "6.2.0 restore Files".
5) Restore from file:

BCPKG2-1-Normal-Main.bin
BCPKG2-2-Normal-Sub.bin
BCPKG2-3-SafeMode-Main.bin
BCPKG2-4-SafeMode-Sub.bin

5) Restore using BIS keys... Add your correct BIS key, CHECK ENTROPY...

If green and OK... Tick passthrough zeros and mount. In mounted drive(probably A:),
copy all over to correct folder...

BIS key 1: SAFE is empty. Here for posterity
BIS key 2: SYSTEM - Copy all over
BIS key 3: USER - Copy all over

Power off... Launch Switchboot.bin with TegraRCMsmash or whatever

Go to tools/info option in menu
Restore BOOT0/1 without size check (in red at bottom)

Enable autoRCM if needed...

IMPORTANT:
Go back to main menu...

Go to payloads menu...
Go to SD:/

Launch fusee-primary.bin
Complete.

Go to Album / choidujour and update to one of the included firmwares (7.0.1, 8.0.0 or 8.0.1) if required.

Complete. Well done.
