My switch with cfw is not turning on anymore. I press the power on button and I see the nintendo, then that screen with the low battery icon in the left corner. I plugged it in and the screen with the low battery icon appears BUT this time the screen dosn't just appear and disappear as usual. Instead the screen just stay frozen. I think nothing of it but after a while I check on it and it still says low battery and wont turn on propely.

Whats going on?

And how can I fix it?

Are you using AutoRCM?
It's probably booting into RCM mode and draining your battery. You can try either one of those:
- Plug it into the dock, and wait several hours as the user above said; or
- Press and hold power button for 15 seconds, and try to recharge it (it might turn RCM off and allow a faster charging and power on)

Can anyone else help?

I misunderstood the issue. It's basically freezing after you try to boot into CFW, right?

Could you elaborate more on the issue? What CFW and payload are you using? It started to happen out of nowhere or just after a update? Do you have custom themes installed?

Edited (for clear understanding)

1) If you try to boot normally into OFW (without injecting payload) it also freezes?

2) How long have you been using CFW before the issue? It's the first time you're trying to boot into it?

3) When you say that you inject payload and nothing happens, it means you can't even access bootloader? (the menu with the options to activate RCM and Nand stuff)

4) Have you ever done a Nand backup?

It started to happen after you tried to update the CFW, or installed it for the first time from a clean nand?

Ok, see if you can enter Safe Mode, by doing this:

1) Completely turn off your switch.
2) Press and hold both Vol. Up and Vol. Down
3) Tap (do not hold) Power button, while you still hold Vol. Up and Vol. Down
4) Keep holding the Vol. buttons till you boot into the safe mode (which gives you options to format the system)

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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
