after switching from sx os to atmosphere everything worked fine.
Yesterday i tried to copy metroid to the sd I didnt want to reject the payload again so i rebooted to hekate and removed the sd and usually i get a error message when removing the sd
but yesterday my switch rebooted after removing the sd in hekate and now i cant get it to work again.

I use the jig from rcmloader but all I get is a black screen im in rcm mode because the nintendo logo doesnt show and i have to hard reset in order to get the switch to reboot in OFW.

Things i tried:

- different payload methods: rcmloader, pc and mac with online injection
- different cables
- different sd cards
- ex and fat32
- switch factory setting
- atmosphere and sx os with different sd cards
- reformated the sd a couple of times


nothing works and im desperate after 3-4 years of sx os and no problems at all now this BS!

I would appreciate some advice otherwise my switch is bricked

RCM loader or pc are you using newest payloads?
yes i refreshed the payload on my rcmloader....i think i permanatly damaged something when i removed my sd card when i was in hekate because the removing of the sd caused a reboot and after that i couldnt load into rcm......it seems hekate crashed but is still doing some shit in the backgorund

Have you tried hard power off? Hold power 20 seconds then try again?

i did all that and yes tried tegrasmash also...
If RCM on you dont need jig.

If RCM off and your loading payload(s):
Longshot but perhaps jig isnt triggering. In ofw check right rails. Connect joycon a few times and make sure connection is nice n tight. You can also check on PC when you connect USB while holding volume + with jig connected of course.

And the console is never detected as an APX device by your computer?

have you tried disabling or uninstalling the driver in device manager? i think your payload failed simply disable driver for apx in your device manger after you pluch the switch into your pc and attempt to rcm it it will show up as apx then go to drivers disable and renable if it dosent work try unistalling the driver then going to tegra and reinstalling it
