Need help fixing my Switch after updating Atmosphere

[CartoonPeacock]

So I was told to go for support on Discord but I'm going to be honest and say I hate going on Discord over something like this so thought I would have to go here instead.

So I updated Atmosphere and the console to 15.0. For some reason though I went to Daybreak and downgraded it to 10.0.0 and since then had problems even getting onto the main Switch menu. I tried deleting all my old files and replace it with the new ones but it keeps getting an error that causes the Switch to reboot over and over indefinitely. I tried to get back to OFW just to see if I can update the Switch back to 15.0.0 but even if I remove the SD Card the Switch opens up an error and I can't get it to the main default menu just to update it. Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to get it to the main menu just so I can update it back to the newest version? I tried removing the autoRCM and booting it to OFW too and it still has this error so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or if I'm completely fucked (but it's not bricked or anything, I just don't know why it keeps doing this).

I have no EMMC or anything btw, so it can't be that either.

Try checking your fuse count in Hekake. You have to burn a certain no. of fuses before the Switch then immediately reacts.

Boot w/ Hekate. Hekate will bypass all fuse checks. Check here for a good hekate_ipl.ini file.

CFW guide — Reentry‘s guide for various paths to get Atmosphere, Hekate and Sigpatches working.

Once booted backup, use Daybreak to fix your FW.

I've tried with Hekate, even to use it to boot to OFW. It still throws up an error and won't allow me to get to the main menu unfortunately.

It may be because of the fuses but my dumbass misplaced my jig so I'm trying to do the tinfoil method to boot it up with Hekate again to check on the fuses, so I'll edit this whenever I do it correctly.

Good idea to find out what is your fuse count

What is the error you’re seeing?

Its okay, we all make simple mistakes. Learning from more experienced people can give you a much more better understanding about what problems you are having.

Well whaddya know, the answer was as simple as that (sheesh).

I'm going to have to find out how to get it back on autoRCM myself (I've done the tinfoil method before, it's just a pain in the ass and I'm too afraid to use a paperclip to mess with it), but it looks like the problem should be solved. Thanks everyone.

Winner! Nice one, brotha!

Yes, most definitely do NOT use a paperclip as a jig. You can buy already pre-moulded ones on eBay and AliExpress which are much more safer to use.
