Ok first im from germany, so sry for bad grammar or language ;) and second hi guys.

1. Situation

ive get a switch that is stuck on switch logo, no rec or safe menu no backup befor that happens, firmware is 4.1 after checking the backup with Firmware Version Inspector


2. What ive done already (even if i dont know if it was useless incase of no original backup)

I booted in hakate done a complete backup of all whats possible, then also used this tut


/threads/how-to-get-switch-keys-for-hactool-xci-decrypting.506978/


to get the keys.txt. then i deleted the master master_kek_ and master_key_ parts out off the txt so i could use this tut


/threads/how-to-install-run-any-switch-firmware-unofficially-without-burning-any-fuses.507461/


i deleted the master part section because ive got an error and readed in another thread here that a another person that it also. the safe foulder also was empty like on that thread


/threads/help-trying-to-unbrick-6-1-0.532472/


ive done this process with FW 5.1 exfat and non exfat and also with FW 4.1 nonexfat. both with the same result still stuck on switch logo. after i dont know if all the work was useless incase of the start postion, i just wanna ask u guys if it was or if someone has another solution.

What's happened is that you've messed something up with the firmware along the way; I can help you much quicker on Discord, lemme know if you'd want that.

    Blah. 3 of my NSO + Expansion Pass family group members are leaving. Found one replacement so far but still need to fill two empty slots. I have 9 days or i eat the extra cost myself. But with a full group $11 for a year is a good deal. imo
