Hey guys,
i have a huge problem. My friend asked me to restore his nand Backup on his switch again.
The Switch had a clean Nand backup made about a year ago and was on Firmeware 4.1.0
Everything was backed up, rawnand, boot 0/1, prod info and all other keys.

Now the firmeware right now at the moment of backup restore was still on 4.1.0 so the problem shouldnt happen because of the firmeware then.
Now i restored the Boot0/1 files without problem and then started restoring the eMMC part and the restoration goes well until reaching 100%. then it goes back to 0% and just freezes and nothing happens anymore. Im forced to force close the switch and of course now because of the failed restoration the switch wont boot anymore. Makes sense.
So it goes 0% -> 100% -> 0% and stays at it.

I tried to do the process again and the same happened again. During the first time i had the original charger plugged in and during the second attempt i had no charger plugged in. It didnt make a difference.

Im at a loss of words and dont really know how to go on now i really need help guys...

edit: now im noticing, after the second attempt it doesnt even let push the hekate payload anymore. I get the RCM connected, but when injecting the payload the yellow sign in tegra appears for waiting and nothing happens anymore.
Guess this switch is completly done for am i right?
 
Got it fixed by using an older version of hekate (it was a pretty old version without the GUI and still with the text based menu)
By using that older version the restoration somehow didnt freeze anymore and it finished. Switch is working now again. So this can be closed, just wanted to give an update if someone someday has a similiar issue.
