Hacking Soft-bricked Nintendo Switch can't boot to CFW

[asbanoglou]

Hey,

Currently I am facing an issue with my Nintendo Switch. All started when by mistake I pressed the update button when I was trying to play a game.
Suddenly the console rebooted and since then I can't get the console to boot correctly.

RCM and Hekate seems to work fine. I wasn't using the switch much the last few months so I wasn't sure what HOS version I had on.

The steps I followed was to backup my nintendo and user folder and then reformat and apply fresh files for atmosphere fusse hekate etc.
I presumed that I wanted the latest releases and so I did it. After the whole procedure I am getting greeted with unknown package 1 after selecting either option to boot(sys emmc emu emmc etc.) .

HOS version on hekate nyx menu says 9.0.0-9.0.1 but i am pretty sure the last time I used the console I have updated it on 10.0.0.but I could be wrong.

Please help a desperate fellow, If I have not provided enough details or you need screenshots etc I would be glad to provide them.

Thanks in advance!

are you using updated payload ? do you have SEPT on SD card

Are you running sysnand,? Do you have previous backup? Boot0 and boot1 is corrupted I assume. Can you run lock pick rcm to extract keys.

my guess is, the game said, "there is an console update"
newest firmware is not yet atmosphere supported, so wait and see

The issue is that I don't know what payload to use because I am not 100% which software the nintendo switch has on.
Yes I have sept on the SD Card.

Yes I tried to run sysnand too. I don't have previous backup unfortunately . After I formatted the SD card I did a new backup for the boot 0 boot 1 and also i emmc etc. Also I ran lockpick as you mentioned.

I was hoping for someone to said that. Is there any way to check what software my console has when I can't event boot to the OS?

Also thanks a lot for your prompt replies guys I appreciate it a lot!
