Guys.. I fix it.. I restored my older Nand (14.1.1) which hasn't the Boot0/1. I had to create them self with EmmcHaccGen. Idk if it works with 17.0.0.

Try it out if it works for you too. But please do a Backup of your rawnand and Boot0/1 first if it gets wrong!

if you download the FW of 17.0.0, using EmmcHaccGen with your Prod.Keys. You should get Boot0.bin and Boot1.bin. Delete the ".bin" extension from them. Put them into backup/nandID/restore. Then boot into Hekate (if you can), restore your Boot0/1 and boot the console. It worked for me with 14.1.1

-edit-

updated it from 14.1.1 to 17.0.0 and it starts now perfectly. Whew. I wish you very luck guys!

You can boot to OFW by either:
- In Hekate press "Reboot" then "OFW"
- for unpatched units: be sure to have removed autorcm, and just power off and on Switch without going to RCM

No other option. If you are trying anything else, you are not trying to run 100% OFW

only if you're lower than 17.0.0 at the moment I think. Because AMS isn't compatible with the latest FW at the moment. But it seems that is a Boot problem

I think for me my Switch ist gone 😏

I opened the console and If i try to Boot (Pico or ofw) the console ist starting with strange sound to Pico but one or two seconds later IT goes black. Sounds Like a Jet but the Fan is off. Also the CPU is super hot in Seconds. I think there is a short anywhere. I desoldered the Pico but nothing changes.

No, this works always. Atmosphere is completely irrelevant here. I mentioned only Hekate there for a reason.

Hey guys! If you, like me, are going to restore an old SYSNAND backup and doesn't want to lose your save files, refer to this guide to extract the saves from your "corrupted" SYSNAND. Before restoring the old backup, as @Justin20020 did, make a backup of your corrupted sysnand and extract the save files from there. I'm still thinking on how I will insert those files again in my Sysnand once it is up and running again without tainting my OFW, but at least I will backup my current saves first.

Im not sure what ist wrong with my Switch..
After the Update in ofw the Switch stops working with strange noises.
I desoldered the Pico and nothing has changed.
Shit Happens but i tried it again. I resoldered all over again and take alternative Points. For now its working (for sure only ofw on 17.0 and emummc with old Firm) - i think gnd Point has some Problem.
For me it has nothing to do with the latest Systemupdate. I Hope this was simply bad soldering 😁.

If you restore just SYSTEM/boot0/boot1 saves and games should be kept.

Hey everyone, I'm having the same problem. I used to have a hacked switch but i went through the process of "undoing the CFW" a long time ago, and after the update when I turn the switch on it just displays the nintendo logo then fades to black. My last nand backup is from december of 2019. Can anyone help me fix this?

Just wait for atmosphere updates. No need to risk a brick restoring and old backup

Hi, I’m having these same issues as everyone else. Do you think this will work with my version 16.1.0 nand backup?

Hey, nice work. I’m having the same issue as everybody here. Do you think this will work with my 16.1.0 nand backup? I used hekate to backup boot 0/1 and raw. Also I used lock pick for getting the keys. Will this work somehow?

Did you updated it through Daybreak or with the official Nintendo thing ?

Thanks for putting the instructions on how you fixed it. I mean, I have no use for it but it's a nice gesture.

I'm just wondering if the way you updated could have made the boot partition break. As Nintendo could update something that Daybreak didn't planned to, hence the need to wait for updates for atmosphere and stuff just to be safe. Idk, I have no clue I'm just wondering.


Glad you worked it out

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

As figure, hekate need an update for firmware 17.0.0
Actually, you need an atmosphere update.
