    It's possible, just backup your Switchs NAND and Prodinfo first. Then you're safe(r).

    I think it would be safe if doing this on emunand ? If something went wrong just throw away that emunand and recreate one. Prodinfo is just a Nand user partition.

    The key is only different in games from Tencent-Nintendo Switch eShop. If you lose that key seems you will only lose the ability to run Tencent-Nintendo games. On the other hand, Tencent-Nintendo itself should got regular keys bundled since it could run regular nsp games.

    You cannot factory reset the emunand. Doing the procedure you said on sysNand is waaaaay too dangerous. I guess the closest thing to factory reset on emunand is to install the same version firmware as the current one by ChoidujourNX .

    Okay I have tried -- it doesn't work at least on emunand. Because you cannot factory reset the emunand. If you use the factory reset function in ChoidujourNX, you will be thrown back to first time setup, but somehow, the prodinfo will be reset.

    Great tutor!
    So what CRC for EU?

    UPD. US works fine if you need all languages
    An important note - I could not format the console using Switch, the console was cut off when formatting. So I removed save and savemeta via mtp tinfoil and then installed the firmware via choi with console formatting

    After entering RCM mode, switch just normally turns on when plugged in.
