Permanent RCM mode?

[karatefeet]

I have a V1 unpatched switch that only boots via Hekate - semi stock, sysMMC, and emuMMC launch options all boot successfully. Booting without using Hekate results in a black screen.
Doing some more troubleshooting, the switch is in RCM mode as if I insert a rcm loader, it injects the payload. What's odd is the rcm option in Hekate shows as disabled. I tried setting it to on but the next reboot still shows it as disabled. eMMC is good, I can run the benchmark, backup, and create emuMMC with no issues.

I remember an option in EmmcHaccGen to set rcm, is that the case here? Would I need to use level 2 unbricking process to fix?

You can use AutoRCM but you still need to inject payload, it only put the device in AutoRCM mode.

Thanks for the reply! Sorry I wasn't clear, I would like to disable autoRCM but am unable to do it in Hekate as it already shows as disabled. Was wondering if I rebuild the Nand if that would fix it? First time dealing with this issue.

If you rebuild the NAND you can't go online.
