Don't you already have it? I think you said you restored a dump on old firmware. Anyway you can make another dump in hekate, just follow sthetix's guide, i think he covered everything

i figured it out and followed the guide but now its just a black screen when i boot

I don't know if you can't read or just don't know what autorcm is or how it works, but before you calling something you don't know bullshit, do some basic research or you are just embarrassing yourself.

Again, if battery's completely dead on a switch with autorcm, there's no way to get out of it other than leaving it charging in rcm. It will charge, but very slowly. It will only get recognized by tegrarcm and accept a payload when battery has enough charge. Same for chipped switch, it will only boot when battery has enough charge for the glitching process to finish. On a completely dead battery, protection circuit will cut off its output to protect the cell, and it takes time for the cell to charge up till cell voltage reaches the threshold (2.5v iirc) to reactive output. How long this process takes depends on how dead the battery is, if it's completely dead it could take several hours to reactivate the battery, that's why people always say leave it charging overnight.

As for your method, holding the power button to force it off doesn't magically charge the battery and reactivate its output, so it will never work on a completely dead battery

so you choose willfull ignorance, then. feel free to continue wasting your time leaving your console on charge overnight instead of simply powering it back off and letting it charge normally

it's almost as if I've already had mine run out of charge and gotten it back up and running in 10 minutes, because I'm not a complete idiot

if it's not being recognized by tegrarcm, then it's not in rcm... and guess what, if it's not in rcm, then rcm can't be magically preventing it from charging correctly

if the battery is so dead that the protection circuit physically doesn't let it charge any faster... guess what, nothing to do with autorcm. but it's rather telling you would jump to a different reason instead of just recognizing that you were wrong. it's unfortunate you didn't recognize that your different reason had nothing to do with the original subject anymore, that would have saved yourself the embarrassment. classic gbatemp though

Ok so you can't read and just want to spread misinformation. Clearly you have no idea how autorcm works, and won't accept your ignorance and keep spamming "it worked for me once so it should work for everyone" like an idiot in every reply. It's ok, live with it, you're winner

Did you generate and restore boot0/1 too? with your own prod.keys? If you just generated system titles without matching boot0/1 it won't boot, made that mistake once

im pretty sure i did

yes, boot into rcm. if you force power off then it powers back off... and guess what, the cable is connected, making it charge

why do people still repeat this bullshit even in 2024, you can try this so easily for yourself. power off, plug into your computer with tegrarcm or something, and hold power off for a while. it will disconnect while still connected to usb, and charge normally because it's not in rcm anymore

think for like 5 seconds before you speak, hardware isn't magic and doesnt just magically power on for no reason after powering it off

you plug it in, plugging it in makes it power on into rcm. hence why you hold power button to power it back off

This is actually brilliant! Although I've thankfully never had to force a charge during AutoRCM anyway, I can't believe I've never thought of doing this with he Switch, it makes perfect sense. It's the same concept as connecting a phone to power: if you do it while the Phone is off, it will turn on upon receiving a charge, but if you turn the phone off AFTER you connect it to power, it stays off....It's soo obvious

yes, unfortunately the average person in switch modding community has absolutely no idea what they're doing. they hear one thing early on when nobody was too familiar with how things work, and then repeat it for years, without ever understanding how their console actually works. those who do understand how the hardware (and software) actually works get made fun of like they're the ones who don't understand it. oh well

honestly I'd suspect hardware damage, if it just progressively stopped working like this as you were trying to restore it. you could attempt to boot with a completely blank emmc and it wouldnt break anything. there's no reason why you wouldnt have been able to just boot back into hekate and re-restore everything to fix the mismatched boot partitions, aside from hardware damage or dead battery

actually, I guess there could be one more thing... it's always possible that your usb cable is going bad, and it's not able to push the payload correctly, which could also explain why nothing is happening when you're trying to push hekate

if you can confirm that your battery is sufficiently charged (you could check with a multimeter either way), and that your cable is not the problem, then I don't think there is much you can do. aside from figuring out what is broken and replacing those specific components at least. it should be able to at least respond to payloads being pushed even without an emmc present at all, as long as the payload is being pushed correctly and that there is enough battery charge for it to power on
