Switch won't boot after System-Update

[OMGesus]

Also since I can boot into atmosphere, would it be wise to try to use Hakuu to clean wipe and hope that rests my boot issue for Stock Nand?

Tried this: Did Nothing to help….test failed

I was in the OFW (not sysnand, I used reboot > OFW) and tried to play Warframe, I saw a popup for update and clicked it thinking it was related to the game... Now I can boot into emmc but sleep is not functioning properly, sysnand is not acccesible and OFW is working fine.. Do I need to wait for the update and do what @tirmey said?

Not knowing that it must interfere with hekate, I upgraded to FW 17 when prompted using OFW. I just need the next atmosphere update to copy its content to switch SD card using a PC? Simply as that?

No, it is a nand backup. You dont use daybreak to do it. I would tecomend you to wait for atmosphere update (just wait a few days) if you dont know how to restore a nand backup. If you do something wrong, may cause a brick

Actually, you need an atmosphere update.

I was talking about how you update the fw in the first place, daybreak or with the official menu. Not how you restore the nand.

Yes you must wait for Atmosphere and Hekate. For me this is not a Problem i can Play online on OFW 17 and also i can boot Atmosphere with old Firm. So far so good.

Yes, but updating atmosphere/hekate requires a special procedure or can I just throw the update files into SD root ?

If you use reboot-ofw then you burn your fuse.

Why are so many people "bricked"? I thought it was safe to update sysnand....

JUST unzip and drop to sdcard root overwrite

Atmosphère 1.6.0 Pre-release
now we have to wait for the hetake update with 17.0.0 support

The issue here is that people jump the gun and update when Atmosphere and Hekate ain't even out. Typically when a major firmware come out with a lot of change under the hood it might take a while, updating to firmware break sleep mode as 6.0.6 doesn't really support 17.0.0.

Is that was I assuming... Turns out that you might be careful regarding modding your switch.

Btw, Atm pre release is out. You can update it and boot again.
In future, if you want to update emunand, use daybreak. If you want to update OFW, just update the normal way on the system

This will suffice to resolve this soft brick or should I wait hekate update as well?

 

[supertaco]

ok, ATM pre release is out. But don't we need a new Hekate to boot OFW?

If you want to preserve your fuse you have to use a custom bootloader like hekate to boot into stock.

If u guys have modchips u all should know that u only update ur sysnand after there is a release from hekate/atmosphere never update bevor.

Personally, I'm glad some people update early. We need some adventurous volunteers to take a bullet for the team, so we can see when it's safe to update. Thanks to all testers out there! Now I'll go back to playing games on my old firmware.

Hahahahahahahaha
man u just made my day Xd

Yes, agree. The technician that mod my son's console did forgot to mention this "little" detail and I'm not a kiddo gamer to fiddle about in game forums. Unfortunately, here I am for being kind of negligent in that regard...

fuses don't care. If updating dont block you from running atm, why should i care? I just want to know because i cannot boot OFW with current hekate.

Some people care, it is for downgrading purpose. Someone did show a video of hekate 6.0.6 booting 17.0.0 stock.

the current hekate v6.0.6 & Nyx v1.5.5 [10/12/23] only supports 16.1.0

How do a simple update can brick your sysnand ?

If I update my sysnand in cfw (I won't), I will not even be able to boot into my stock sysnand ?
