Hacking ShofEL2 release by fail0verflow ‏

[Jayro]

Well I'll be damned... Here I go, eating my salty words of nobody releasing anything, LOL!

Glad to see the Switch hacking scene *finally* going somewhere!

I'm very confused...

The Fusee Gelee release says pin 10 and 9.

The joy con has more than one ground contact. You can probably connect pin 10 to any ground (pin 1, 2, 7 or 9) a micro USB connector conveniently shorts pin 7 to 10.

But team FailOverflow says pin 9+10 won't work... The quote I added on my above post was from them...

I still don't have a USB-C cable, but I would love making a permanent button on my joy-con, however for Fusee-Gelee ppl are using 9+10 and for FailOverflow they say it doesnt work.

ps: So I'm confused.

Pin 7 + 10 gets you into the RCM Mode
My Solution to it is down in the Attachment.
Good thing i didnt threw away my broken Joycon.

10+9 also work. But I build up myself now the F0F Tool, with 3D Printer and MicroUSB Cable. Very hard tho.

Anyone here can actually shoot up a Pre-Compiled Linux Version we "poor Endusers" can test?

If i can get it to work. Maybe

I read on the twitter feed that 10+9 DONT work and its 10+7 only.

Yeah dunno why people say this. But you can Just try Put in scredriver to 9 an 10 IT Boots fine to XDA Nvidia

there is two different setups, on the switch connect pin 10 to a ground the rail, screws, or pin 7 is fine. on the joycon pin 9 and 10 are fine but pin 9 on the switch side wont work, people claiming that are actually just hitting pin 10 and the rail.

I See Thanks for clear this Up.

Anyone got GANOO running?
It'd be nice to have a small linux tablet, my laptop is too large sometimes.

If it's 7+10 what should I solder? Which points in the joycon board? (I don't want to touch the pins, I'd rather do the tiny soldering)

So what you are saying is that doing the soldering on the joycon board does work? I'm confused af

So what f0f is saying is that you should "connect" pins 7-10 on switch's side or 9-10 on joycon side?

 

[Duo8]

Anyway I compiled them, not sure if it'll work though.

Pins 7 & 10(or 1) on the right hand switch rail.

Pins 9 & 10 only work on the joycon, the so nicknamed BentPinHax. Either will work to run the payload since they use the same vulnerability.

 

[WiiUBricker]

Classic fail0verflow. For years they refused releasing exploits because of piracy but when other teams ‘threaten’ to release the same exploit, they release it for the sake of being ‘the first’.

 

[padooo]

I'm really glad someone that doesn't give a single dime to fame """"leaked"""" the so called bentpinhax.

It's so funny to see the desperation of those hackers/devs to still be relevant and/or get some attention from to the scene LOL, qlutoo said he quit the scene which I'm glad and now we got LINUX this feels soooo good

Yeah, but I dont see how can that be right as they are match to match in Switch or joy-con, they attach pin-by-pin at the same... So if pin 9+10 is shorted on the joycon it will short pin 9+10 on the Switch...

So I think that leads to the same question I had. Still wonder why does FailOverflow claims pin 9+10 doesnt work for their release...

 

[ShroomKing]

I assume you might fry something if you bridge 9 & 10 on the switch, the bent pins on the joycon should only touch pin 10 on the switch.
