Help wanted - Can't boot into CFW/emuMMC after accidental system update

[poobee02]

Hello, I've had a Switch running Atmosphere for a couple of months now, but I accidentally updated my Switch to the newest firmware (13.2.1). I had not updated anything beforehand. Now, I'm trying to get the switch to boot back into the emuMMC, but it's not working. I'm able to boot into RCM and Hekate, but none of the launch options I have available actually boot. Whenever I try the emuMMC or sysMMC, it shows the Hekate logo again for a few seconds before crashing (see image).

I've tried deleting and remaking my atmosphere, bootloader, and switch folders on the SD card from scratch, but I genuinely don't know what else to do. I think I can reinstall my NAND from the backup I made via Hekate, but I'd like to avoid that because I have a lot of save data on my emuMMC that I don't have backed up.
Is there any way I can restore my emuMMC without losing my data, or any way I can extract the data from the emuMMC and then reset it?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Sorry if there is a lack of information or bad terminology, I'm relatively new to the Switch HB scene.

You should try asking in the Switch Noobs Paradise instead.

I actually found a solution to my problem (had to delete a few folders and re-install the HATS pack), but I will make sure I post there instead when I run into any issues in the future. Cheers
