I've upgraded from 4.1 to 7.0.1 using ChoidujourNX and didn't have any trouble. How are fw versions above 5 not supported?
The link above is for Choidujour, not NX. NX works for any firmware
The link is for CDJ, the tool on PC. CDJNX is the tool on the switch itself. He can try to use that with 5.1 firmware and see if that boots up.
Choidujour hasn't been updated to work with newer versions, only ChoidujourNX has. Unfortunately NX requires you to be able to boot your switch in the first place.
I have a vague feeling that everyone who tries to downgrade but doesn't tick the box to reset their settings has this problem. I think there is a way to get the switch to boot by using the dongle to bypass the switch count and then going into safe mode and initialize console. But I may be wrong, I've seen a load of forum posts but I've never had to do it myself.

If you downgraded using choiNX and you forgot to perform a factory reset right after the downgrade then you will be softbricked. Just perform a factory reset using the recovery mode and try to boot cfw again after.

You should start fresh...
format your sdcard to fat32
install atmosphere
go into rcm
push fusee-primary while holding buttons for maintenance mode
If you have done this correct, you will boot into maintenance mode. Do a factory reset, reboot and you should be good.
However, as you are told in every good tutorial, you surely made a backup before doing stupid things. Just restore that backup of 8.1.0 and you can try again.

I remember being able to downgrade from 6.2 to 5.1 without ticking the reset box, maybe it's required for the first firmwares only

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
