​

Stuckpixel of the ReSwitched team recently released his exploit "Nereba".

This exploit will enable Nintendo Switch owners with early units that have held off updating, still on the original 1.0.0 firmware to reboot into a Fusée Gelée payload without any dongle, USB connections to a external device or jig directly from stock untouched firmware. In addition support for 2.x and 3.x firmware is also planned in the future, opening up the exploit to significantly more consoles.

The implementation takes advantage of the nspwn exploit, that users of the original 3.0.0 homebrew implementation will be familiar with. Used in conjunction with this, users will be able to boot any Fusee Gelee payload from the micro SD card, placed in the nereba folder on the root of the SD card. After running the script from the Switch web applet, users can reboot into any payload by launching the album applet from the home menu.

Meh, not too interested in this.

I'm glad I updated from 3.0 with out burning my fuses. Once emunand and this exploit are ready I'll be dongle less on one of my switches.

So...where does the name come from because searching "neraba" on Google only gives me results about a soccer player that I feel has no association with the Switch nor hacking in general?

Maybe because you spelled it wrong. It's Nereba.

I got an extra switch I keep updated but now that my sd card reader went beserk on my hacked switch, i regret that.

Couldn't I just downgrade from 7.0.1 to 1.0.0 and bypass the fuse checks with hekate, essentially allowing me to use this tool?

 

[M7L7NK7]

Ok it boots into atmosphere now

 

[Xandroz]

time to revive my 1.0

But what on earth would be the point? If you've got hekate loaded, you can already load CFW.

For those that don't want AutoRCM/A dongle to push RCM payloads. Cuts out a step. Same reason those who were on 1.0.0 upgraded without burning any fuses (Because initially, the step for bypassing fuse checks completely/downgrading wasn't available).

What do they mean exactly by "In addition support for 2.x and 3.x firmware is also planned in the future, opening up the exploit to significantly more consoles."?`Does it means that it wouldnt require any dongle/jig in the future for 2.x - 3.x firmwares as well or did I misunderstood something here because I remember they were saying its possible only on 1.0.

My Switch is still between 2.x - 3.0.......

wait what?
this sounds awesome.
gonna try this a bit later on

but let me be clear.
so i don’t need a pc to run this, i can just boot stock 1.0 with a properly set sd then run album and i could reboot into sx os emunand?

But you would still need a dongle or USB connection to send hekate every time in order to skip the fuse check and actually load 1.0. Without that, you'll just get black screen at boot.

 

[Xandroz]

so untill i fix my 1.0 as it needs a replacement screen socket, anyway i can install pegaswitch without puyo.
or can i just use a dongol and jig to install it as nsp and install pega from there

Yes and no. You won't be able to downgrade unless you prevented burning fuses in the first place.

So push Hekate instead?

EDIT: I see what you mean now. I misunderstood. Can't boot into 1.0.0 with burnt fuses meaning loading into 1.0.0 just to boot CFW doesn't make sense. My bad.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Yes and no. You won't be able to downgrade unless you prevented burning fuses in the first place.

You can downgrade with burnt fuses so long as you use hekate.

Either you or I have a terrible understanding of how this works.

EDIT: This still stands though. You can move between firmwares using Choi and Hekate, but it doesn't make much sense to move downwards past burnt fuses since you'd have to use Hekate anyways (as you explained to me earlier).

 

[M7L7NK7]

Yeah but you need a usb to even load 1.0.0 in the first place so it's pointless

 

[sj33]

But if you're going to be pushing hekate anyway, why do you need Nereba?

 

[M7L7NK7]

It sounds like it works, downgrade to 1.0.0 and use Nereba but if your fuses don't match you need to push a payload through USB to even load 1.0.0 so you may as well just use the current RCM way

I think this is really cool in the sense it finally was released but here is my take.

We were made aware to hold off on updating that there would be new developments. But aside from piracy the draw to modding my switch was homebrew. If i had waited in this case i would have missed out on all the fun i had playing the various homebrew. I would have also had to do a lot of catching up in terms of config and bios files etc. At this point i have a very impressive system and that would not have happened if I had waited for this. Frankly i feel the people who did wait missed out and continue to miss out. This is similar to someone on ps4 scene waiting for cfw. “Gotta learn when to hold them learn when to fold them...”

Well, this release is clearly aimed at devs or other people who specifically need a 1.0 device but don't possess the exploit themselves. This presumably arrived now because the final part of the exploit chain was patched in 1.0. Presumably those same parts will be in Deja Vu.
