Hello all,
I'm having as weird issue with a new V1 Nintendo Switch I bought: it does not inject payloads!!

Let me explain better. The switch's serial is XAW10003611* and it's, clearly, within the range of consoles that accept the RCM method.
But when I put the jig and perform the VOL_UP + POWER is appears to enter the RCM mode (screen stays black, no Nintendo logo, etc) but if I use my dongles it doesn't work or if I try the TegraRcmGUI is never shows the console is in the RCM mode (no green image).

The USB C port works for charging both sides and it works on my dock flawlessly every single time!

Does anyone here ever experienced this issue?

Thanks!

It simply does not show as if the console was in RCM.

Was this device sent to Nintendo for repair? They like to switch motherboards
Hmmm! That's a good question... :)
I bought it because the serial was low... The person who sold it to me didn't mention it.
Is there any way to "find this out"?

Go to settings on the system, and check the serial information. i very much doubt they switched the case as it would be so easy to tell

The number I mentioned in here I took it directly from the "Serial Information" on the System settings :)

It gets weirder as we speak :)

The serial on setting should match the serial on the sticket. If it does not, the mobo was changed. A friend of mine bought an "unhackable" switch that miraculously accepted the RCM. Once i checked, the mobo had been changed for a safe serial mobo.

Check the right joycon rails, does it recognize the right joycon just fine? If you're unable to bridge those rails (or using the jig) it might be either the rail, usb-c port, or motherboard.

They match...

alright time to call in the big guns
@ZachyCatGames
Thx! :)

As I mentioned above, the when I put my JIG and turn the console on with VOL_UP+POWER it doesn't "turn on" nor shows any logo but TegraRcmGUI fails to recognize it in RCM mode and my dongles don't inject ANY payload.
So **I THINK** it's in RCM but not fully?! Is it even possible? I mean, I know the patched consoles do it, right?
@MeAndHax mentioned something about Nintendo liking swapping motherboards when someone sends a console for repair... I'm starting to consider this...

Just got one information from the old owner.
He said he never sent to Nintendo. Also, the console was already jailbroken and running SXOS with emuNAND and stuff, but he used AutoRCM, so he bought a dongle and removed the AutoRCM because he would start using sysNAND and emuNAND, and the console never entered the RCM mode again.
He struggled for a bit, gave up, sold it and got another one :P
Guess who got the console from him?!

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
