I made a backup of my backup and then messed with it. So in theory the orignal backup should work?
I just tested the original backup i made with sxos with sxos and it gives me Errcode=00FFFD47.
So my only backup is not working. I guess my switch is useless then?

Did you figure it out? The Error code you reported means that SXOS didn't locate a backup to restore. The directory structure I indicated should help with that.


He had it before.

Cautious approach to introduce less variables that could introduce other potential free radicals in an effort to trouble-shoot. I appreciate it. Some people would take it as advice that they should use exFat, lol.

I know that FAT32 is better but i tried it non the less.

As for the solution you send me. It gave me the same error.
It did not work at first try and now im troubleshooting a bit.
But i have to do sth else now so i think it might take about 2 hours.

Yeah AutoRCM is definetly not enabled i made sure about 100 times.



Yeah that seems quite plausible. Too bad.
Tell me something, yo... You tried to downgrade?
What about if you wait a few in that black screen, press power to wake the system and press volume up or volume down? Or plug the charger? Any icon on screen?

Yeah already tried everything you just said. And everything that has something to do with the original firmware does not work, so also no indicator that the switch charges. I only see charging in Hekate.

If the original Nand is the culprit, it's because:
themes, brick code or a messy downgrade. Try to rebuild your Nand like this: https://switch.homebrew.guide/usingcfw/manualchoiupgrade.html
Update to latest.

Cross your fingers, all 21 of them.

EDIT:
also, read the very last point in that guide.

Good luck, mi amigo.

Well i also tried that and i still have the same blackscreen.
Maybe i really toasted anything inside the switch although i dont know how.
There's something you are not telling. The Switch doesn't simply refuse to boot. That's almost impossible.
Disable AutoRCM
Take out the SD
Boot without payload

Yeah i tried a lot of things before i made the original post. Because i didnt know what to do i made the post.
And really. Disabling AutoRCM and booting without sdcard really just ends in a blackscreen.
If there is anything im not telling you it is because i dont know.

Can you boot into maintenance/recovery mode?


In order to enter Recovery Mode, the following combination must be performed:

  • With the system powered off, press and hold Volume Down + Volume Up;
  • Press the Power button while still holding Volume Down + Volume Up;
  • Let go of the Power button and keep holding Volume Down + Volume Up until the maintenance applet shows up.

Already tried that but jsut to make sure i just tried it again and it really just does nothing.
Just a blackscreen.

Should i try to load android on my switch? Maybe i can test some things there, like ram etc.

I honestly don't think it's a H/W error. I believe it's a F/W issue or user error.

As I was saying boot0/boot1. I got the same black screen on emmunand because of a dirty boot0/boot1.

It sounds like this is the issue. How did you clean your Boot0/1?

Does OP know what F/W version the backup is?

Hi Hispeedcloud

Don’t know you read my last post. But to be sure, did you tried to boot without entering the RCM Mode ? Boot the stock system, just normaly. No jigg using, no payload sending.

It sounds weird, because you told, that you were working on the heatsink components before. After this, the Switch was working fine first, then it was entering the standby mode and going defect.

A few days ago i changed a mainboard on a Switch. While reassembling i don‘t connect the daughterboard with the gamecardslot correctly and the Console stuck on the Switch bootlogo. After i fixed this, it worked fine.

For me, your problem sounds like it has to do something with your work before. Did you checked all the connections and that everything is clean ?

Greets, Snap.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
