Thx, and that CFW is expected in june right? And second question: Will I have to do hardmod or will softmod be enough for that CFW ?
June was the original target for CFW, so that's certainly possible. With the early release of Fusée Gelée, it could be earlier.
That depends on the system version of your Switch. Software methods of loading CFW will likely be released for 1.0.0-3.0.0 in the not-too-distant future. Software methods of loading CFW on 3.0.1-4.1.0 will likely be released in the distant future. Software methods of loading CFW on 5.0.0 or higher are not known to exist.
Regardless, hardware methods of loading Fusée Gelée are extremely easy, and many don't require any kind of permanent modification to your Switch.
Has Nintendo already started producing newer versions of switch without this bootrom vulnerability? Because I made a deal with some person but he said he recently bought it, so is there a risk that that switch maybe has the ''newer'' tegra or something?
thx for your help!

Nintendo will likely silently release the newer Switch models that aren't vulnerable to Fusée Gelée in the near future, but my understanding is none have been discovered yet. Anyone who plans on using CFW with his or her Switch should buy one ASAP.
I bought a switch last week and it came with 3.0.2, which is pretty good. Some people are saying that Mariko(hardware fix) will come by 1 or 2 weeks. You should buy one now.
The wording "hard mod" is kind of misleading when talking about shorting 2 pins, its true that a piece of copper wire is technically hardware, but when most people hear hard mod they think custom chips soldered to the PCB. We really need a new nomenclature, like Semi-hard mod, Solderless Hard Mod, tethered jailbreak or just state that it requires the shorting of 2 pins.
Nit picky, but it wouldn't hurt if the OP was a little clearer, it's after all, aimed at people who are new to the scene.

Yes if you don't mind having to do a hardmod (shorting pin 10) everytime to boot into CFW or just doing the hardmod once and leaving the Switch in sleep mode 24/7.
I've noticed. Since I use it primarily in docked mode, I don't keep it in sleep mode at all, if ever. And since it's docked for me most of the time, that usually means I've got a computer close by that'll let me load Fusee Gelee if I ever do turn it off. But I know there's not much tradeoff for keeping it in sleep mode. Sometimes I think it would be better to not turn it off considering how annoying it is to turn it off in the first place...
Sorry for this dump question, but wouldnt it possible to downgrade the FW with the tethered methode CFW on higher Firmwares or even through the rcm with Fuse Geele? (When 1.0.0 has a possible non tethered methode)
Just remembered this is the god old PSP times...

Yes you can downgrade, but what is unique to the Switch is the fuse check which is done when the console is turned on. To get to the non-tethered methods that 1.0 has, you have to bypass that step otherwise the Switch will not turn on. And the only way to bypass this is through the tethered coldboot since it occurs before the fuse check. So as you can see, you need to use the tethered exploit regardless to utilize an untethered exploit if you downgrade.
