Problem solved , auto RCM must be on after official update , its now can access OFW, just want til sx os 2.6 out thanks again for help

===========================================================

I dont know if there is any solution links , I backup my nand after it bricked , I dont know what else I can do , thanks for those who can post a related link

Info:

6.2 console with SX OS

I believe my brother updated without hooking up internet , and after update the console reboot and showing 7.0.0 but the games not working

turn off the console -------- RMC ----------- not booting

turn off the console ----- Failed on standard boot

Now only RMC works , no back up before

That's for the info. The solution is:
more info.
Also, this might work. Still, you gave us no info, but this is like CTRTrasnfer in the 3DS scene. https://guide.sdsetup.com/#/Manualchoidowngrade

CFW is not supported with 7.0 yet.

Edit: Read your question wrong. Even if you had a 6.2 backup you cant downgrade because choi doesnt support it. If you haven't burnt fuses you can go to 6.1 if you had a backup.

With full backup, he can always restore.
OP, your only option is to rebuild NAND or wait for 7.0.0 support.
How does it fail on standard boot? How do you boot to OFW?

Easy:
-Wait until fw 7.0 is supported by sx os (which can take a few weeks/months)

Hard:
-Rebuild your nand with fw6.2. Since you don't have a nand backup prior 7.0 this is tricky and requires knowledge and at least a day to get things working again.
(You need your bis keys, hacdiskmount, hekate, the fw 6.2 package and other tools to de-/encrypt and extract files)

I might need to check with my brother , he claimed no internet connection but updated , since I can not access to OFW even with 15 second power-off and reboot, all I can image is the update file is ready while I active sx os licence with internet connected, but it only take a few minutes before I delete the internet setting after its done. I m focusing the link you gave , downloading to 5.1 ofw , but these is one thing I m not sure about . I dumped the nand after console bricked , would that be a matter with whole downgrading process? My plan is to turn no AUTO RCM and edit my dump on pc , build up the nand and tansfer into the sd card with 5.1 firmware , please correct me if anything wrong , thanks again for your kindness

Do you have Emunand?
If so, you should be fine using SX 2.3.5
