Update: Since Atmosphere has released with 7.0.X support, To downgrade without a backup, just use ChoidujourNX.
For those with backups you can still follow the method below

---

After seeing reports of downgrading back to 6.2 been broken after updating to switch firmware version 7.0, I can confirm these to be false. I successfully downgraded my switch with 9 burnt fuses on 7.0 to 6.2 with 9 burnt fuses

Downgrading to 6.2 is possible and not broken. Both boot0/boot1 must be the same version as nand backup

• Step 1) Place 6.2 nand + boot0/1 backup on sd card
• Step 2) Boot into RCM and launch hekate
• Step 3) Restore boot 0/1
• Step 4) Restore GPP Partitions (or rawnand, I personally used GPP Partitions)
• Step 5) Launch CFW using Hekate 4.6 or ReiNX 2.0 or sxos (haven't tested with fusee-primary)
• Step 6) ????
• Step 7) Profit

EDIT: This is for FG consoles not ipatched
EDIT 2: You will loose any saves you don't have backed up

Will upload proof if people desperately wish

did you restore both your boot0/1 and your nand backup from the firmware or different firmware?
Also you won't be able to boot stock when downgraded so you will need to use a cfw

EDIT: They need to be your own personal backups from the same console

Atmosphere now has 7.0.x support, publicly released. You don't need to downgrade if you use that, though unofficial games will still need a little longer before they will work

I suggest you use the latest atmosphere and choidujourNX if you want to downgrade

as long as you can boot CFW (doesn't matter if it is 7.0.0 or 7.0.1) you can downgrade with choidujourNX

You'll need to use hekate to boot OFW but it's possible, and yeah you can use choidujourNX to go straight to 6.2
