Hacking PSA: Reports of Fusee gelee patched units in the wild

[RAGER]

Nice move big N! Now people will clear out hackable stocks, an additional pressure arise to release Deja Vu (hope they keep it till Mariko), and then bring Mariko to life (ideal for N to patch out out the Deja Vu too). Big profits are coming!

I hope 214 fixes the hardware flaws in 210.

warping, stick drifting, cracked shell around the edge.

Since I'm still waiting for my SX Pro and should wait for a couple of week if it's not month, I was also waiting to buy a Switch, but after reading this new, I’m a little bit scared to wait longer.

If I buy today, how can I make sure to have an exploitable version? There is a way with the serial number, manuf. Date or firmware version ? Since I have no jig, I cant test and I’m not a big fan about the paperclip method.

Are there any cases reported in north America or all the case are located in Japan?


Thank for your help.

just use tin foil for rcm that what i did.

You can then try to hakate Payload or SX os payload with out backup loading to see if it will take it.

This is a good way to accidentally short the high voltage pin and burn the system.

I was thinking about doing it. If that's risky is there a safer alternative? The jig I got off ebay hasn't worked for me.

/shrugs only did it once and have brickmii running so who knows

Haven't seen it reported on the forums yet


this user also used it and people have reported success on using tin foil. Hell any of the jigs can cause a shortage its up to you if you want to do it.

I received a new Switch today. I take it there is no way to find out if it's an ipatched version without opening it?

What country did you purchase it?

It seems the only reports we have are from the asia markets.

I bought one 2 weeks ago in the US fresh out a shipment

Got it from Massgenie.com. Shipped from Miami FL. Hopefully I'm good.

 

[comput3rus3r]

so what are the symptoms of a patched switch? goes into rcm but doesn't load the payload?

Yes.

Don't worry about using tinfoil, I've been using it countless of times before I bought a jig. So far so good my switch is fine and no issues.

 

[Kaizer47]

sad news for me then. Bought the switch on march hoping to hack it

Alright cool I'll try it soon then though I am curious how hard was it to find a jig that worked for you? I can't tell where to buy one from that'll actually work.

1) Buy a preowned Gamestop Switch.
2) ...?
3) Profit.

Yeah... my left joycon has lazy-analog.

I'm either gonna get a new set, or by an sns-30 pro and live the pro-controller life.

Yes, all old models can update as much as they want and Fusee Gelee will always work.

However: Softmods are only possible on 4.1.0 and under. For coldboot you need to be on 3.0.1 or lower.

Yeeeaaah, the lack of softmods on 5.x.x kinda kills any enthusiasm I had in the Switch hacking scene.

 

[r5xscn]

We are basing this of user reports, I have personally had two people asking me to help them with new Switches and its been impossible to get the payloads to work, thus they must be patched, several others have also reported this.

Is this only for recently bought switches? I bought one in Japan in April this year at Toys r Us and it came with 4.1.0. I already updated it to 5.1.0. I haven't tried RCM tho.

Try if you can and report back. Chances are yours is fine, though.
