Hacking Is ist able to change/reflash the SysNand Chip of the Switch?

[switchModBrick]

Hi,
i think I bricked the SysNand of my Switch completly.
The Problem is I did‘t made a backup.
Is there maybe a way to change the SysNand-Chip, or flash it again with the Stock-System-OS?
Is there maybe a native OS which allows running/emulate switch games.
Or have you another idea.
I posted a further Thread about this, I create a second, cause I‘m sure the Main-system is completely broke.

Thank you for anwsering

I think people did swap out the default 32gb memory for more with chips. I am not sure how.
BTW what did you do to brick your system tho?

I‘d installed accidantly a firmware update.
After the reboot, the System shows shortly the Nintendo logo and blackscreen.

Horizon OS Recovery Mode might fix the issue. If you have a patched switch you'll lose cfw and homebrew access though.

Try following this unbrick guide: https://suchmememanyskill.github.io/guides/unbrick/
If you can't dump the firmware from your own Switch then you can download it from Darksternies site

it is actually possible. but sadly it must be YOUR backup. It might be possible to unbrick it however if you can enter RCM.

Thank you for your answer.
I watched the video, he says thath I need any working console Nand, I‘m a little confused about this did he mean the Link in the description or do I Need realy a working console?

You need a working NAND backup from a working unit, usually Sthetix video ain't the best, but nothing for you to lose at this point. Sthetix does make a lot mistakes on his video on youtube.

Where can I find a working Nand Backup, there was a link underneath the video.
Can I use them, Is this what im searching?

You should remove the link, that can't be posted here.

Well you need a donor one, basically someone else nand but working one, issue with Sthetix guide is that he makes a lot of mistakes, with what going on for you right now, it is worth a try even if it from Sthetix, really bad idea to not have NAND backup.

Can I use a empty SD-Card for this, because my normal one is to full?
What Firmware should I download, if my switch says following?

Is it able to use another, empty SD-Card for the Donor-Nand-Restore, because my normal one is full?

 

[ucef]

yes

 

[switchModBrick]

yes

Ok, thank you.
Do you maybe knew which Firmware I'm currently using if Atmosphere says 9.1.0-9.2.0?
I need to download the right Firmware to repair my BOOT-File, instructed by the video.
Which shoud I download?

 

[ucef]

Go with the 9.2

You can't be on 2 different firmware versions. You are either on 9.1 or 9.2. Use whichever firmware that you are actually currently on.
