Hacking Question I think I bricked my switch

[Tinkerit]

Hi @Canna, thank you very much for your help, I have indeed been able to fix everything and get it back to work (but still with FAT32… oh well, I'll change this later).

I am a newbie here, so I don't know: is there a way to "mark as resolved"? I updated the original post but didn't see any option. And can I change the title to something mors useful for people searching gbatemp, like "Error 4 restoring backup"? Also, I liked some of your posts, but is there any other way I can thank you?

Finally, not really related, but do you know if there is a way to update to ExFAT without a Windows PC (I only have access to osx)?

Use ChoiDujourNX, it can install the exFAT update in 1 click, even without a computer.

I've read warmboot does burn fuses

Warmboot doesn’t burn fuses, but it does check them

doesn't it reboot the console after installing the firmware officially?
I've read warmboot does burn fuses, but I still haven't read proper information about it. it's still blurry what warmboot is/does.
if warmboot is just a full console reboot (and not a bootloader launch), then you can still access RCM, but you don't have to miss the button combo on auto-reboot, right? or else it would launch the bootloader (skipping RCM) and burn fuses.

when update officially, it deletes auto rcm because it overwrite boot0/1.
after update, it auto warm boots or not? is warmboot like a coldboot or a bootloader launch?

It does reboot after an update, and it does disable autorcm, but if you have a jig inserted and you hold vol+ on boot, you can get into RCM still

@Tinkerit

You not fixed it yet follow what i had said ??

If not you can pm me and were talk .

Well, the video is pretty old, RCM mode probably wasn't even public knowledge at the time. But if he had been smart he would have plugged it into a PC to see if anything showed up in Device Manager.
