SOLVED: Fuse mismatch

I have a nintendo switch that was updated to 17.0.0 in sysnand, it can no longer boot OFW but it will boot CFW in SysNand and EmuMMC.

This is how hekate_ipl.ini was setup:
[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=3
backlight=100
noticker=0
autohosoff=0
autonogc=1
updater2p=0
bootprotect=0
Click to expand...

What could I do to fix this? I don't have a backup for this. I only have the keys, and automatic backups (BISKEYS, PRODINFO). I just did a BOOT0, BOOT1, and GPP backup just in case while it's in this state, though I don't have those from when it was working. I was thinking of running the factory reset script and see if it would start working again.

Add this to your hekate.ipl

fss0=atmosphere/package3
stock=1
emummc_force_disable=1
icon=bootloader/res/icon_switch.bmp

To clarify, rebooting to OFW via reboot option or pressing the power button will just get me a black screen.

Also, wouldn't that only allow booting from hekate? Is there a way to fix regular power-on too? Keep in mind the sysnand on this switch is completely nuclearized, I'll need to definitely reset it before attempting connections to official servers. Would that stock option be safe for online play?

EDIT: By nuclearized I mean that somebody pirated lots of games and installed them directly on the sysnand.

OFW and Sysnand CFW share the same NAND, if you get a black screen then it mean there is something wrong with your NAND. If you installed pirated content on Sysnand then you won't be able to go online without restoring a clean NAND backup, if you don't have a clean NAND backup, then you won't be able to go back online for online play.

My goal was to use Haku33's script for a full factory reset. Then I wanted to work on getting it working again in regular ofw without using hekate. After that I'd just make an emummc off of the now fixed nand.

Would that be possible?

Haku33 won't prevent a ban, if you installed pirated games on sysnand then you got a dirty nand, going online would get you ban.

I've been hearing lots of claims that Haku33 actually does prevent bans. I might follow this advice and drop this in the end, but let's assume I wanted to somehow get it back to working order and we pretended that Haku33's script actually does prevent bans, how would I do that without having original clean boot0, boot1, and GPP backups? Is there a way to rebuild a clean nand off of my dirty kinda broken nand backup?

Could this all boil down to a corrupt prodinfo which maybe I could restore?

If you have a clean nand backup that is always the suggested choice nomatter what.

What firmware is that boot0/boot1 and raw gpp from? Firmware 17.0.x has fuse count of 19.

Yes it's on 17.0.0 and has 19 fuses

With you current situation you may as well leave it as it is if it boot sysnand cfw since you don't have a clean Nand backup.

If the stock boot option I gave early doesn't boot then there is something wrong with your stock Horizon OS.

Stock option you gave me is working fine. However I just realized something. I see that version is actually 16.1.0, and yet it has 19 fuses burnt. It's probably literally failing the fuse checks? How can I update the sysnand properly to at least 17.0.0?

It explains why it won't boot, 16.1.0 expected fuse count is 18, since you don't have a clean nand, use darthsternie firmware and daybreak to update your firmware.

    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
