Hacking Since there is still a lot of confusion. Here is how to properly turn off Switch if you use AutoRCM

[Waip]

I already explained it in the very first post, use the SX OS Pro dongle and look at the light. If you do a standard power off the dongle will get power (switch is still on), but it wont boot (dongle tries to inject but cant) because its not a standard RCM mode its a Zombie.

I stand corrected ! Thanks for the info then

I sure i don't have this problem with AutoRCM. I use it since day one and 0 problems.

What happens if you uninstall autorcm after the process?

Then you would no longer be suffering from any AutoRCM-related issues

Posted in wrong thread. I was gonna ask what happens if autorcm is enabled after upgrading to 5.1.0 firmware with the easy guide.

Then you risk burning fuses every time you turn your console on UNLESS you boot into RCM first. Since the jig managed to do it without AutoRCM, you just have to be extra careful the console is NEVER turned on without that jig inside which is extremely easy to do. Even plugging in something via USB connection will turn the console on and burn fuses.

Thank you so much for this. I didn’t even realize that when using SX OS my Switch was still on after turning off.

So if you turn off your switch the regular way and let it sit on a shelf for a day it will lose 0% battery? This is pretty much impossible with the way SX OS is now. So yes you do have the issue just like everybody else, you just dont notice it because its not a huge deal.

So if you do not touch it overnight, it loses 0% battery? Because in off mode it will take months to lose even 1% of the battery. I had my switch on the shelf untouched for 6+ months, and after powering it on after more than half a year after putting it in the case it had 98% battery.

You probably think its off, but its actually in RCM mode. The only way to check is to plug a light into the USB-C slot and see if it lights up, or letting it sit for a day and seeing if you lost any battery. No other way to know.

To be clear, its a different RCM mode than when you power it on. Injection wont work but the switch is still on. Its more like a Zombie mode.

The Problem is, if you put something in USB-C it automaticly boot into RCM, that is how it works xD

If it get a power Source on USB-C it powers on.

TC, could you use formatting in your opening post? It is a wall of text and the fragmented paragraphs make it difficult to read.
