No.even if you corrupt the signature, do you still have to hold the volume button on every coldboot?

Very off-topic indeed. ^^I think this is a bit off-topic but, when will we have an app like FBI in the Switch? Because I have little money to spend in games right now.
Did you happen to own a 3ds? If so, have you installed a9lh to it?

So, you're making your first post on GBAtempI think this is a bit off-topic but, when will we have an app like FBI in the Switch? Because I have little money to spend in games right now.

Yes it is. Just because Nintendo has their own Switch recovery mode doesn't mean that the recovery mode Nvidia built into the Tegra chip isn't also a recovery mode. Where do you think the initials RCM came from?RCM is NOT recovery mode.
I will say this: I am dumbfounded that the first thing that came out for Switch wasn't a flashcard. The moment I saw that cartridge in the first commercial for it I thought "Oh, we'll get a flashcard in 2019." As someone who's been on the edges of handheld hacking from the GBA era onward, it's kinda strange to be at a point where the idea of a flashcard is outmoded.Unlike Gateway back then, SX is just a fancy way of running the exact same payloads FG launcher runs...
There is a mode specifically called "Recovery Mode" in the Switch which has a different procedure for entering it. Hence calling RCM "Recovery Mode" is needlessly ambigous when calling it RCM is perfectly fine.Yes it is.

If flash carts for Switch ever happen, they will still take a long time. While pretty much every level of security of the Switch has been utterly broken and well documente at this point, the ASIC used to communicate with the carts is still a black box. That also makes it a very unappealing way to load backups, since there are many other software ways of injecting your own stuff into the Switch. My guess at this point is that flash carts won't happen at all and software solutions will rule the world.I will say this: I am dumbfounded that the first thing that came out for Switch wasn't a flashcard.

There's really no reason for them to exist, either. Backups will be playable on-console in a matter of weeks after Atmosphere releases, if not less. Underestimating the eyepatched ones among us is probably a bad call. Gateway's features like cheats will probably be available on TX's stuff, (has this been confirmed?) if you want to pay for it like the old Gameshark. The future is bright!My guess at this point is that flash carts won't happen at all and software solutions will rule the world.
I agree software rules now but idk if they won't happen. It's only a year into the Switch lifespan. We have Mariko units coming, which presumably patch Fusee, and then maybe a hardware revision in the future (Hard to tell if they'll do a "New Nintendo Switch". All portables got upgrades but no home consoles have yet). I'm willing to bet if a manufacturer got a working flashcard they would be able to make a good profit say, when a new model comes out, or if Mariko units happen to patch Deja Vu/Jamais(?). I guess the use of flashcards in the future depends on how well Nintendo plays cat and mouse. They're definitely not needed right now though.If flash carts for Switch ever happen, they will still take a long time.

You are using the word "brick" wrong tho.
By definition, a console becomes a brick/paperweight when the console stops working, with 0 chance of recovery.
AutoRCM likely corrupts the boot files yea, but we don't know at what extent. It could literally be 1 byte off. But the console still boots RCM payloads and even a OS if you let it. That's no brick.
A brick is impossible to recover. We're looking at a semi-brick at most.
It will be interesting to see what method TX used in its AutoRCM.
But by scaring people by "OMFG TX BRICKS THE SYSTEM IN PURPOSE OH NO" it's not correct to do as well.
No one knows how they do it, OP should add a note on his main post saying that his theory is what it is, a theory and pure speculation.
this entire thing write up is misleading.
a brick is a system that does absolutely nothing, except for physical qualities, like a brick for example. if the switch boots to RCM mode every time, 99.9% of the time (give some times it might not boot but similar success rate to a normal switch), then it's not completely bricked.
i have a 3ds xl that is bricked. you press power and nothing happens, you use magnethax and nothing happens. its worth nothing more than its physical parts. that is a brick at best.
They're actually trying to get Switches bricked over a bunch of piracy, AFAIK.Can you explain what this WHOLE NEW definition is?
