Hacking Question I need help.

So you have 6.2 nand but ealier boot0/1, if they're incompatible it's what stopped your console from booting. Since you can't restore the previous nand, you should backup the current one and keep it safe too, maybe you'll need to recover from that.

He downgraded from FW 6.2 to FW 6.1 by restoring his boot0/boot1 backup on his system NAND. He can theoretically boot CFW via Hekate but for whatever reason it is not working for him.

My nand is from 6.1.0 and my boot0/boot1 is as well. But my system is on 6.2.0

Correct. I get some package error when I try to load reinx and then the error I told you when I try atmosphere

You could try updating back to FW 6.2 using ChoiDujourNX as @bodefuceta suggested earlier.

Just restore nand back to 6.1 then. Use rcm to the boot into 6.1 then update to 6.2 what's the problem?

The problem is that he burned fuses. Did you even bother to read the rest of the thread?

I know it doesnt help now, but you should have made a backup of the "current state" of the console before you tried to do anything like that

I burnt fuses restored to 6.1 and updated back to 6.2 when atmosphere was updated worked fine.

Sorry if I came off as snippy. OP already tried to boot CFW via Hekate after he restored his boot0/boot1 backup that was on FW 6.1. Obviously he can't boot normally as he downgraded from FW 6.2. His only hope now is updating back to FW 6.2 using ChoiDujourNX and then booting Atmosphere.

Agreed. But all is not lost yet. He can still boot into Hekate.

Isnt ChoiDujourNX a hombrew app? If it is I cant use it since I cant get into the switch. But there is a non hombrew app right?

 

[Captain_N]

One does not simply blame the girlfriend for updating the switch....

 

[PatchTuesday]

Does regular ChoiDujour support 6.2?
Maybe he can rebuild B0/1 and rawnand using Choi (not NX)

PC app yes

I dont know if it supports 6.2 though

ChoiDujourNX is on the Switch. ChoiDujour is on the computer.

 

[PatchTuesday]

Perhaps document the steps you try OP.
Then if it works, it can help someone else, if it doesnt we can try to come up with different ideas

Oh I overlooked that. ChoiDujourNX is the homebrew app, and regular ChoiDujour is a PC app.

When N hired everyone's gf to update their Switches.

or, hypothetically, if someone just very recently bought a new one they could put the "not working for no reason" one back in the box and return it. Long as they dont check serial #s that person would have a very happy day.

Besides being really slimy, no, that won't work. Newer Switches do not accept RCM payloads, while the OP's Switch does.

So if i understood you correctly, you have Boot0/1 from 6.1 and sysnand 6.2 and you're unable to restore 6.1 sysnand.

I would recommend you try and restore your rawnand.bin 6.1 using Hekate 3.2, once that's done, you should be able to boot cfw, you can run choixdujournx to update firmware to 6.2 turning on autorcm, or stay on 6.1 but you can't put your system in sleep mode anymore.

Anyways start by restoring using Hekate 3.2, if you tried 4.x and got an error (that's what i understood from what i read above).

Hope that helps,

I looked at Best buy a few days ago and 1/3 of them had the old fw
