Anyone having any luck finding a hackable switch in Canada? I hear best buy had a bunch, checked every bestbuy in my city and ordered one from bestbuy.ca. None of them were for sure safe

Someone just brought a Switch to me, with Serial number XAJ1003xxxx, and it was a patched unit. Bought from a brick and mortar store. I didn't ask for the stock firmware version, but even if I did, they didn't seem like they'd remember.

Added an F.A.Q to the OP. Does anyone has suggestion which other questions I should include?
Imo the tutorial on checking patched units is bad. No one will bother checking their units if steps list something like "insert your jig" "boot into RCM" without properly explaining what it means AND what it looks like. There is link for entering a "Recovery Mode" but how would a new comer make a connection to "RCM". If anything it should be abbreviated "RM", or written as "Recovery Mode(RCM)".

Best if you can include a video tutorial on how to check if the switch is patched or not from youtube or something. With different methods of entering into RCM. Many would not bother buying a jig just to check if their unit is patched or not.

Then it's their loss. :rolleyes: Buying a jig or even a payload injector like ns-atmosphere (which comes with its own jig) is a good investment for someone who is trying to get a Switch to hack it. Even if the first Switch he gets is patched, he'll keep looking for an unpatched unit. Worse case scenario if he never finds an unpatched Switch... he's out a few bucks.

Thank you everyone who posted about their switch code, i was able to purchase a switch from a store very easy ( literally first checked was this serial ) .
Now i just have to wait for my SX OS to arrive.
If you use this site to check serials, please post yours if you buy one, it helps other people.
