I restored my nand, which is a 3.0.2, i restored it from 5.1.0 (as i had the same issue, was working fine on 6.0.0 and 3.0.2). Payload? None, attempting to boot into OFW, also tried Hekate for CFW Atmosphere, and ReiNX payload for ReiNX, both same issue.
You cant simply restore your old nand unless you upgraded without burning fuses. What is your fuse count?
How did you upgrade 6.0? If you did it through official firmware then you wont ever be able to boot OFW again on anything lower than 6.0

always check your fuse count before doing a nand restore. Not doing that gives you this problem and you're switch will be a permanent brick. Can you still boot in to hekate ? Did you also made a nand backup of your switch with firmware 5.1.0 or whatever you were on ?

Fuse count is 4, 3.0.2 NAND backup restored. I can boot into Hekate, I didnt make a backup in 5.1.0 as i couldnt get into it when i updated with ChoiDujour
Your fuse count is correct so it should work with a nand restore of firmware 3.0.2. Did you try to do the restore again with hekate ? If it doesn't work then i suspect your nand backup to be corrupted
NAND was checked and it said it was fine, however i cant use a SD card as its not big enough so i used Hex Workshop, im petty f--ked aint I?

My SD is 32gb (only 28gb usable), and hekate supports exFat, im just trying to get into OFW
Well you can always try with an fat32 card instead seeing that there aren't many options left , the only thing that you can do is do a nand restore again and if it still doesn't work then theres probably something wrong with the nand backup
how big is the nand backup ? Because if you used the 32gb card you got a partial nand backup and that is your problem right there since you have to use a 64gb card for a nand backup and restore. If you did use a 64gb card to do the backup then you're in luck otherwise ur fucked. If you did a partial dump on sd then you should also have another part by doing the dump a second time and you can use a joiner script to merge them together. If you did not do that and only have a partial dump well it's a perma brick then

I used partial nand backup and put them together to make a 30gb nand file. I dont have a 64gb sd, and i saw posts saying Hex Workshop and HacDiskMount works through USB cable.
well buy a 64gb card and do it with that. I'm pretty sure it will work that way
I might see if thats my only option, its strange tho, when i restored my NAND through the cable, it got rid of my blue/purple screen so i assumed it would've worked. Thanks for help i guess, if anyone else has ideas, please post them!
Did you restore the rawnand AND boot0/boot1 of that firmware? Because if you just restored the rawnand, you didn't fully restore the NAND since boot0/boot1 are firmware specific
There is one more thing you can try and that is use ChoiDujour method again, if your backup nanad is no good then find xci with that firmware and flash again with firmware 3.0.2 dump from xci update.
Did you make a backup of boot0/boot1 after installing AutoRCM?
If your answer is yes, the only other thing I can think of trying is rebuilding your firmware files with ChoiDujour, the Windows version.

@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it! -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files
) -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying+1 -
