They have a ton of Switches in stock. Told the woman I was looking for a specific serial and she laid a bunch on the counter serials out. Saw a few with serials like the one I bought. Glad I was able to get one not patched as I'm coming late to the Switch scene. Hope this helps anyone in Orlando/Kissimmee.

Do you already own the Switch or do intend to buy it? If you already have one, you can still check if it is patched or sure
but tring this tutorial

If you intent to buy the Switch, find another one. The chance for a patched Switch is really high.


Im already own, yesterday i trayed to un lock, but, when i inject the payload the nintendo dont do anything, thats means its patched? i own a XAW40013 version, in the first page says its patched but i want confirms

Yes, then it is definitely patched. Nothing you can do about it right now.

@MaliceYT
It's unpatched.

Holy crap, I was reading the reply and I saw that you said that it’s definitely patched and I was like fuccccck.

Then I kept reading it and saw the bottom text which was your actual reply to me [emoji28][emoji23]

Thank you though.

Hi guys I have read the first post around 20 times now but I still don't understand it. I understand the part where it generally say which switch is patched or probably patched.

What I don't understand is the spreadsheet. A person who wants to sell his switch has a serial number XAW100666*****. I checked the spreadsheet and the serial code is stated in the spreadsheet.

But what does it mean ? As in the spreadsheet it's not coloured red or orange. While some other serial number are colored red.

Is this serial number XAW100666***** patched ? Could someone tell me how do I use the spreadsheet ?

Don't go by the spreadsheet


Serials beginning with XAW1:
XAW10078XX and below are safe to buy

Hey thanks for the quick reply Milenko ! In that case what is the spreadsheet for ? Are the serial numbers in the spreadsheet all patched switches? I am quite confused as some serial numbers in the spreadsheet have their column colored red. While others don't

I have also noticed that switches reported by users in this thread where they say fusee gelee works are not included in the spreadsheet

The spreadsheet and this thread are independent form another. If someone wanted to include their serial here and in the spreadsheet, they can. Otherwise they choose to only include it here or in the sheet. The original purpose of his thread and the sheet was to find matching firmwares to serial numbers, but that function has change to identify patched serials. On the spreadsheet, patched switches are marked in red.
