Switch Unbricking Guide - ProdInfo Fix (PikaFix)

This is an advanced tutorial.Follow this guide at your own risk. I am not responsible if you mess up your switch even more. This Tutorial has only been tested on a RCM Switch

The idea of this tutorial is to fix PikaBrick ergo PikaFix, however it can be used for any broken Prodinfo bricks.
This fix *** WILL NOT*** allow you to go online.
The provided files have already had Incognito pre-applied to them.
This will wipe your previous user partition.

Requirements

To follow this tutorial you will need a few things:
Your bricked consoles biskeys - Obtain with lockpick_rcm
Your bricked RMC vulnerable switch
A computer/laptop
PikaFix Pack from xbins or the mirror links (Mirror 1, Mirror 2, Mirror 3)

My custom exosphere.bin file
HacDiskMount (Method 1+Method 2)
NXNandManager (Method 2)
Hekate Nyx
Sept
Etcher
Atmosphere
TegraExplorer

This tutorial is split into two methods, with the booting phase the same for both. Please follow your preferred method and following the booting section of the guide. I have written this guide as I was following the provided steps. I will try to update the tutorial to make it more streamlined it the coming weeks.

Finally I would like to have a massive thanks to
Anonymous who donated their nand to me for experimenting with and saying it can be used publicly for this fix

 

Reserved

 

Download autoxbins and navigate to the listed directory to download. Autoxbins will be marked as a virus but this is a false positive but is fine

 

Due to the nature of the pack been a Gray area at best I'm not willing to link it here

 

connect using xbins then navigate to the directory I listed next to the pack name in requirements, or use the new mirror link

 

It hasn't fully loaded, when fully loaded it will look like this

 

That's an oof, thankfully one mirror is now up

 

Any updates? I feel like it should work for console 1, not sure on console 2
