[FONT=&quot]Hello everyone,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I'm a noob when it comes to hacking, and I think I bricked a friend's console.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Console came with firmware 4.1.0, I tried using SX OS Pro with a 128gb sd card on exFAT, but the console asked me to update, which I didn't.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Upon restart it got stuck on the switch logo. What I've tried:[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]1. booting with the sd card in, with SX OS, on CFW => stuck on switch logo[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2. booting with the sd card in, with SX OS, on Original FW => stuck on switch logo[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]3. booting without the sd card => stuck on switch logo.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]4. copying the SX OS files on a 32gb fat32 sd card and trying to boot from there => stuck on switch logo.
[/FONT]5. maintenance mode by holding vol - + and hitting power => stuck on switch logo.

and to crown it all, the battery doesn't seem to charge (stuck on 14% and drains even while plugged into a charger), that's why I haven't tried restoring the NAND.

[FONT=&quot]My computer detects it on TegraRcmGui, and I can inject all payloads, so I did a NAND Backup using hekate (I think it was a bit late for that though). [/FONT][FONT=&quot]I then obtained the BIS keys using biskeydump.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]What can I try at this point? [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Your answers would be much appreciated, thank you in advance![/FONT]

It sounds like it is in RCM mode. Did you install Auto RCM?
Which version of sx os are you using?
Can you boot to SX rcm menu?

I didn't install Auto RCM. In fact, just to be safe, I pressed uninstall RCM from the SX OS menu and the operation went succesfully.
Now the battery is not even charging! Hekate battery info says "not charging" even though it's plugged into a charger.

I'm using version 2.0 of SX OS and I can boot the SX OS menu.

Stupid question but ... are you using a Nintendo Switch charger ? My switch doesn't charge when plugged on my smartphones chargers.
Yes, I even tried two switch chargers.

I also can't be the switch USB port because TegraRCM detects it.

[FONT=&quot]My friend decided to buy a new Switch (not patched, according to its serial number), and he wants to try to hack it. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The console is also coming with 4.1.0 and doesn't support exFAT by default. Here are my (noob) questions:[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]1. Can we buy a new license online and use the existing dongle? I've heard it already had a license in it, wouldn't that cause some sort of conflict?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2. Since the console doesn't support exFAT initially, can I still do a NAND backup using Hekate on an exFAT 128gb SD card?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]3. I have downloaded 5.1.0 firmware from xbins, I will attempt to install it with exFAT support using ChoiDuJour, can I use an exFAT SD card for this operation or does it have to be a FAT32 one?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]4. Any other recommendations? I wanna do my best to not brick this one too...[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Many, many thanks in advance.[/FONT]
