Im confused as to why it would be any harder to boot into rcm
I'm talking from a literal aspect because your question was if a Switch that never booted, would it be able to boot into RCM. And if you are unsuccessful in booting it into RCM, it will normally boot hence the original situation would no longer apply unless you don't count setting up the console as never booted up.

i suppose it would be prudent to update to 6.2 before the backup anyway since its supported. This would avoid downgrading too far, which is supposedly a bad thing?

Not necessarily. Unless you plan on playing online, there's not that much reason to go to 6.2 especially since an entire CFW is not supported on that firmware. And yes, updating officially to 6.2 will burn fuses rendering you unable to downgrade and hypothetically take advantage of any future exploits released on lower firmwares. Which is why if you want to update, you should do so without burning fuses with the homebrew application ChoiDujourNX.

Guys I need help pls. I boot into RCM with success, but after trying to launch with CFW, progress stop at "generated keys" and Nothing happens after that (The switch doesn't boot normally).

I'm on firmware 4.1.0 with an European console, so I Don't really know if it work.
Thanks for help.

Also dont use paperclip, its too messy rather than tinfoil piece.

yes, that, you dont need anything else, there is a video, just put a tiny piece on your joycon in the correct pins. It works perfectly. Not need for stupid jigs and crap like that.

Better picture on what pins you need in case someone is confused on the process... using tin foil !

This actually looks like the easiest method..

Yeah the paperclip was a terrible idea it will only do more damage overtime. The thread was created during the infant year of switch hacking. Anyone new should just buy a reliable jig. Im still using the same Jig that sxos pro came with for 3 years, funny how it outlives the cfw in terms of consistent use.

If you're just a little bit skilled with a soldering iron, you also have the option of modding your joycon. But honestly, the best option is still autoRCM for ease of use.
