PROJECT STATUS NEWS UPDATE: July 17th - Team REBUG has gotten their Switch Modchip Up and Running Perfectly!

The last update we had from Team REBUG on their project status was back on July 4th, that they got in the 'final prototype' PCBoards and now they had time to assemble them, polish up the coding a bit, and installed one in their Nintendo Switch consoles and below we present to you the very first video of it booting up and working, along with the latest Tweets from their project team leader.

Mod chip works

I've tested a few configurations with rcm strapping, hardware auto RCM and software RCM. Easiest by far is software auto RCM and a easy 4 wire install. Oh no case bluge

Seeing Videos are just better, here you go

Nintendo Switch Mod Chip 4 wire install (just showing off without auto rcm) 3 Clicks and its off to OZ

Huge thanx to everyone involved in the Switch Scene!

They said anyone can do it, I kinda doubt they have that much faith into ppl
It there a testpad for that?

Yes on underside of board.

 

[DaveLister]

No it was not, im a 1000% sure that they were using calculators ;D

It just doesn't add up for me .

 

[Xandroz]

its mod chip era

I like the way you sum it up.

But have you factored in any changes?

Are you trying to divide us?

Marginal, but fractional differences are part of the equation , always were . Cant get that song American 3.14159265359 out of my fucking head.

Negative numbers ? I will stop at nothing to avoid them. Cannot abide lies, When you round the three of us up we become 5.

 

[Ramoth]

I'm sure that could be calculated.

Looks like we've come a full 2 pi r

You used the full circle trick , and now it is complete with the subtle use of an Rrrrrrrrrrrrr !

 

[Thetoto]

Nice !

So what exactly does this modchip do? Coldboot into CFW? Allow CFW loading on FW5.0+ and bootrom patched Switches?

Just auto inject a payload.

 

[Clydefrosch]

4 wires too many for me.
note me when it comes with nanobots doing the soldering for you.

I would have to buy a much smaller soldering iron to be able to install these trinket chips...tiny...

I have the answer , tiny soldering guy will be fucked after this guy gets up and running , Also my Uncle , with massive inheritance program . He knows De wea.

 

[solitaire4eva]

I am horrible at soldering but I can hit points on the underside of the board with ease every time!

My hands were shaking pretty good when I installed my reed switch. Thank fuck I didn't melt the joycon. My soldering iron is the size of a big screwdriver.

Nothing like sewing with a kango hammer .

Lmfao you are brave xD

 

[Nasha004]

Can anyone say if this will work with the switch revision ?

 

[isoboy]

Jamming a jig in the rail is not an option for me. I see there's another clever way of using the button for detaching the joycon. Maybe I'll look into that later if I can be bothered. I rarely travel with my console and send the payload from pc. If need be I've installed nxloader and even though I'm probably going to glue a little magnet inside my left joycon later I found I can use my samsung 8 case which has magnetic areas/seals. I'd need the phone anyways. But I'm sure someone will sell those tiny arduino battery powered dongles soon and I'll get one. Or I'll just buy the SX dongle. Right now I just use sleep mode as it takes care of all that shit.

Uses the same exploit as the SX, so I doubt it.
