Hacking I need help injecting a payload.

[DestructiveSword]

Hi, I've been trying to get into CFW for about an hour.

My switch is not patched, I've gotten into ReiNX before.

So, I used the screwdriver method (I know, "ur gonna break ur pins!!") and now my switch is on a black screen where when I press the power button, it does nothing.
I plugged it into my phone and nothing happened, so I plugged it into my computer. It didn't list it as a device, and it didn't inject. I've tried all the ports, nothing works.
Can someone please help me get into RCM? I don't want this to ruin my afternoon.

If it is on black screen and power button does nothing it is either in RCM or dead (battery).

Can u know the difference of empty battery and rcm mode? For example, if its in rcm mode and u connect it to PC should it be recognized in any way by PC?

It should be recognized. Try force shuttimg it down (hold power button for 12+ s) and then power it on normally.

It isn't dead, I went into horizon and the battery is in the 90s, but the PC doesn't recognize it.

Could it be because I'm using a MacBook?
(I tried both macOS and Windows on the MacBook)

My phone recognizes it by saying USB debugging enabled, but I have Rekado and no prompt shows up.

I don't think I have a USB C to USB cable, but illI try to find one.

USB 3.0. Not 3.1
So USB A 3.0 to USB C

That's the one you probably have. I am just telling you to try USB 3.0 port on your PC.

I found one, I'll try it tonight.

F me, it didn't work.

F me, it didn't work.

I have had issues with it being detected on OSX before, even with virtual machines (VirtualBox & Parallels).
Ended up just using a windows laptop, worked no problem. Then I just set up fusée framboise (Pi version).

It always used to work on my phone for me, but now that doesn't work.

Well your phone detects a device, so thats good.
I'd try a new set up, make sure Rekado and the CFW/Payload are all latest versions.
Reboot your phone & switch, try again. Try a couple different cables.

Otherwise find a windows box and try Tegra RCM.

 

[DestructiveSword]

Fixed by booting into maintenance mode then RCM again. (i really have no clue why)

 

[mdmachine]

Hmm, well at least you got it resolved!
