Huh, that is indeed a new one. Sorry for your trouble, but your are the first with a patched XAW1007 unit.XAW10079
Its the read-only bootrom that's different. TX were kind enough to share the exact changes made to the bootrom in one of these units which prevents the stack overflow bootrom exploit from not working. This exploit is unpatchable from a software perspective because it takes advantage of the hardware of the console; its nature as an exploit is a coldboot meaning its triggered before the firmware is even loaded. Theoretically, you could swap the bootrom of a patched unit with an unpatched unit but that sounds extremely difficult given how small it is. Also these changes cannot be applied after the console is not manufactured without tearing apart the entire console as explained already.Question: When the console is "patched", is that a physical (new chip etc) fix or a firmware fix? The reason I'm asking is that I would like to purchase switch on the official nintendo online store. They do have plenty refurbished models available (both red joy-cons; assuming maybe it was a super mario odyssey bundle one time). I really doubt those refurbished models are "patched" but may have the updated firmware which as of now 6.0. Any insight on this? thanks guys
I see, thanks for that information. Has Mario Odyssey bundle encountered any issues to softmodding (again assuming the console is NOT patched)?

SX Pro is not a softmod; it relies on the same bootrom exploit that is currently being patched in some units. There are softmods known to work up to firmware 4.1 however those are unreleased and show no sign of being released anytime soon. I'm also unsure if Nintendo would update their firmware so they are no longer susceptible to those softmods or not but you never know.I see, thanks for that information.

Sorry I got the words all mixed up. I meant softmod as modding in general, I just referring it to SX PRO. So to sum up; Patched Console will not work with SX PRO or any other bootrom exploit method as of now?SX Pro is not a softmod; it relies on the same bootrom exploit that is currently being patched in some units.

Well it won't work with the current bootrom exploit. However, they may work with other bootrom exploits; they just need to be discovered first then tested.Sorry I got the words all mixed up.

As long as Atmosphère runs on it, TX will eventually, too. And all current Switch'es are of the same type (same hardware) so there is no problem.I see, thanks for that information.

XAW10078XX and below are safe to buyI got a XAW10077XXXX
Will this likely be unpatched?
Has a high change of being patched.Hi all... newbie here... I just recently got the switch and it's XAJ700464 but for the life of me I'm not sure if this is patched... I googled so much but can't find anyone whom posted this serial number before... anyone have any idea pls
Has a high change of being patched.
I guess the best way to test is to do the following.

Thanks mate
I bought a custom colored switch from colorware a bit too late and I'm 90% its patched (I'm kinda new to modding so I can't seem to get much working). I was trying to make a nand backup but can't seem to get the hakate payload to run. Here is my info...
Serial: XAW1008426XXXX
Serial on device matches serial on box: yes
Region: USA
Firmware: 5.1.0
Color option: Grey (Original color)
Store: Colorware.com
Was a bundle (if yes, which): No
Purchase date: July 26, 2018
Fusée Gelée works: I don't know
Kinda dumped that it might be patched but knowing the talent in this community, I'm hopeful someone will find another exploit soon. Just gotta play the waiting game...
Thanks!
I think you misunderstand the point of this thread a bit. If you have already complete access to the console, you don't need to check the serial. Just test the RCM payload.Use the Smashing method to confirm if it's hackable if your serial is not in the list to be 100% sure
