Hi, I'm not that knowledgeable on pirating switches but I've tried what seems like to be everything, and still still TegraGUI won't pass RCM.
Im using tinfoil, and my switch doesnt turn on which i think Im in rcm mode already. My pc says its not recognized though.Are you using a jig or something else?
Check your device manager. Do you see a device called APX?

You probably just need to install the driver. It should be built in to tegrasmash. Check your drop down options. There should be one to install the driver
Even if your switch was ipatched it would still boot to RCMI already installed the default driver off tegrarcmgui not smash though, i dont know how to open tegrasmash. Even then it didnt work so i tried installing the libusk driver off zadig.
Does the system version of the switch affect anything?

I think it boots into RCM, but my pc doesnt recgnize the devices thoughEven if your switch was ipatched it would still boot to RCM

Try using a different cable. I've had mixed results with USB cables. The only one that works 100% of the time is the cable that came with my pro controller
Have you tried a different cable though?I think it boots into RCM, but my pc doesnt recgnize the devices though
No, im using my uncle's s9 charger cable but idk if its a usb3 cable because thats the only one in my reach. Should I buy one?Have you tried a different cable though?
yeah i do but idk if i should buy an adapter for it though.Do you have an android phone? Rekado works great on android
Edit: Alright so I was using tinfoil, then i kinda bruteforced it by aiming my flashlight down the port, and poked the 10th prong with a copper wire.No, im using my uncle's s9 charger cable but idk if its a usb3 cable because thats the only one in my reach. Should I buy one?

Not true. iPatched switch will still enter RCM. Just cant launch a payload.Trouble by using RCM:
patched Switch
payload error
not working jig

Right, I don’t know about damage but many USB cables are only good for charging and have no data connection.Usb cable is nearly always the issue. Some people say you can even damage the Switch if you use the wrong kind.
I read somewhere that the Switch has poor implementation or doesn't adhere to usb c standards properly. Might also be the reason some third party docks were causing bricks.Right, I don’t know about damage but many USB cables are only good for charging and have no data connection.
That's a completely separate issue that applies to all USB cables, but this issue is specific to USB A-to-C cables and adapters, because the 56k resistor that is required by the USB 3.x spec tells the device that the cable/host are not capable of fast charging. If that resistor is not there, the device can try to draw too much power, which can destroy the charger or device used to charge, and then because the Switch is known to be picky with power and unreliable/unexpected (not correctly negotiated with the Switch) power is supposedly what causes bricks with 3rd party docks and such, it could in the worst case brick the Switch as well.Right, I don’t know about damage but many USB cables are only good for charging and have no data connection.
