Hacking System can't boot into OS

[Deleted User]

This was caused by multiple different mistakes due to being careless..

I accidentally updated to 7.0.1 since I wasn't paying attention and was just spamming A to launch a game. The update went through, however when the switch was in the rebooting process of setting up the system I got impatient and forced its shut down by holding the power button since I thought it got stuck. Since than I've been unable to boot into any firmwares using Hekate.

I've attempted restoring my boot 0 and boot 1 partitions since I made a backup a few months back. So the system should be on 6.x now opposed to 7.x

However, neither ReiNX or atmosphere would like to booth. ReiNX says that the package2 magic is invalid, as well as on atmosphere except atmosphere is also mentioning that its failing to decrypt the package 2 header with master key revision 5 in paraphrases

Is there anyway to get my switch back into working shape, or did my multiple mistakes leave me with a paper weight?

Of course, if nothing here makes sense please let me know and I will be happy to elaborate!

Just goes to show..no matter how comfortable you are with homebrew or consoles..a lapse of judgement can make that all good for nothing

I appreciate it! Before I go through that however, is there anyway for me to boot into a CFW with the nand backup I already have? Like using an older CFW version?

Or is this just because im stuck in a limbo zone of firmwares cause I did things in an odd order?

You should be able to restore your nand/boot 0 and 1 and then boot up a cfw. Maybe try a fresh install of each. Did you edit any files on your SD card?

You restore the nand via the Restore emmc option correct? If so than yes, it did a fresh install of both boot 0 and 1

No SD card files where edited

Unless I need to do the exfat restore since this nand backup was done while the SD card was an exfat card? (I made it fat32 after)

I would first make sure you have the newest most up-to-date CFW files on your SD card. The reinx magic package error usually is when you are using older/mismatched version and payload, not sure about the atmosphere error

Unfortunately all of those files seem to be up to date, I even updated them several times just in case

Can you boot into official stock from hekate?

Would that be the "Reboot (Normal) Option?

 

[Philliyxx]

No you will have to launch "stock"

Edit or download the kosmos hekate_ipl.ini it needs to go inside the bootloader/ folder.

Stock should like this, correct? If so than that gets stuck on "read package2"

{------ Stock ------}
{NOTE: This option does not launch CFW.}
[Stock]
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
stock=1
{ }

Have you tried formatting your SD card and redownloading and putting the cfw files back on it?
