Hacking Switch won't boot to ofw nor cfw

[Kubas_inko]

I think I'll try and stick to 6.2 now that it works, at least until sig patches are out for 7.0/.01 (they still not out right?)
Anw thanks a bunch man, looked up everywhere and was really stuck on this problem, now I can be more at ease.

They are out.

You don't have to downgrade as atmo already works on 7.0.0/1 And there are sigpatches for it too now.

Can you send me both the fs and es sigpatches pls ?

 

[Kubas_inko]

Okay, i had the exact same problem as OP. I wanna just ask now i've factory reset, can i update the firmware from 6.2.0 to 7.0.1 using settings? the console has 9 burnt fuses and will only boot using rcm.

Yes, you can. But to be "safe" it is better to update via choidujourNX.

oh thanks a bunch, rn I still don't have any cfw but only the 6.2 ofw when launching the stock, I'm fine with updating from recovery mode right?

You can update officially (from settings or recovery menu) or via choidujourNX. To stay safe, it is advised to use choidujoutNX.

Well, you need 7.0.0 keys for it.

Sorry to ask you that much but is there a way to take 7.0.1 keys, if yes can you gimme a link ?

Still no public way to get them. You can search for them (can't give you link). Also, sigpatches are kinda broken anyways as it seems. Some apps work but most don't. But I am sure that it will be fixed.

Just tried it on 7.0.1. Everything works as it should if you use Devmenu.

I'll try devmenu real quick.

EDIT : I tried to do it with pokemon quest and ATS 0.8.4, the app just black screen.
It looks like my switch really doesn't want me to play free games ahahah

I'm kinda at my wits' end here, so I hope someone can help and this is the right place to ask.
I started out on a Switch with 7.0.1 and 9 burnt fuses. For some stupid reason (I wanted to install the hbmenu nsp), I wanted to downgrade to 6.2.0, so I did so using choiNX. Everything seemed to go well, but after the downgrade my Switch wouldn't boot neither CFW (error code 2000-0000) nor OFW (some other error I don't remember now). Next thing I did was follow the manual downgrade guide on sdsetup.com to get to 6.1.0 (and eventually back to 7.0.1 again.) Again, everything seemed to go well, until it came to actually boot the system (step 13.11 of the guide), when I just got a black screen. I saw someone on reddit mention that deleting the contents of the SYSTEM partition with hacdiskmount solved a similar issue for them, so i redid the whole process, and deleted all the SYSTEM files. When booting AMS I now got the atmosphere splash screen and the Nintendo logo and then another black screen. Then someone on here suggested I copy over the generated SYSTEM files from choidujour to the partition. When I did that and tried to boot, I got the Nintendo logo and a black screen. Can this be fixed?
And no, I don't have any backup whatsoever...

i had the problem you had at the start with error code 2000-0000. all i did was go to recovery mode by holding vol up and down when booting into ofw with hekate, and then resetting to factory settings. Then i was able to boot successfully

I can't even get it to boot into recovery mode, I just get a black screen. I think I fucked up beyond all repair.

do you have a nand backup?

 

[eyeliner]

do you have a nand backup?

Last sentence of his lengthy post...

 

[KuraudoSutoraifu]

I didn't have one, but I got my Switch to boot again by downgrading to 5.1.0., since 6.1.0 would also just give me a black screen, strangely enough.

Nah, in terms of software on Switch that's pretty much impossible to do unless you fuck up prodinfo and don't have a backup (You could wipe the enitre nand and as long as you have a prodinfo backup you could fully recover the system)

Edit:
Anyways, you probably didn't use the initialize/wipe save data option in ChoiNX which is required when downgrading, and then it probably wasn't working because you wiped everything in SYSTEM so you no longer had 8000000000000120 save data, which is required for the console to boot
