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 it break your ability to put the switch in sleep mode? I read somewhere that this happens when you downgrade using Nand backup
