​

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.

So it means we need a computer running Pegaswitch in order to use this exploit ? What's the added value here ? Usning an RCM bootloader seems more convenient then ...

It's useful for those who don't want to use a jig, wire, etc to get into RCM and don't like the idea of autoRCM.

I hope that some developer makes a Android host for this exploit and dejavu, when that comes out. This will be useful, if you can just use your Android phone instead of Pegaswitch on pc and don't have to buy a dongle, jig and what not.

That's a very valid point, it was indeed possible once to abuse cached content. However, modern firmware versions render this nearly impossible to achieve unfortunately.

Is it possible to use "fake news" with "cached content" on 2.0-3.0 firmware?

since this is a web exploit i would say best way to do this is dns redirect. this has been done similar in the wii and wii u days which was used to allow multiplayer again

I used Internet only once when I installed the Haxchi in the Wii U.
The best way is to launch CFW directly from Horizon without using Homebrew Launcher, Internet, DNS redirect, dongle, jig, Phone, PC, router or anything else.
The best way is to be offline like Haxchi in the Wii U.

I don't think there are any 1.0 consoles left rofl

If you use Fakenews+Nebara on firmware 1.0.0, and use the Choi tool for upgrading the firmware. Will rebooting the switch will default the settings, except the higher firmware and cause it to burn e-fuses?

Yes, fuses will burn if you don't boot with a custom bootloader (e.g. fusee-primary/hekate) that skips fuse checks. Wait for emunand, then keep 1.0.0 sysnand and update emunand.

Ah thanks for the answer.!

At the moment I have a 1.0.0

So is there a way to use this Nereba tool + fakenews and also having a higher firmware and also the possibility to reboot?

Or can I use this at the moment, don't change the firmware and play games which are 1.0.0 compatible?

2nd one. Wait for emunand, it won't be too much longer, then you'll be able to play updated games.

Thanks for clearing up my confusion I'll wait for the emunand party!

It this offline?
I mean, do i still need a pc or it does work like the ps3 webkit exploit?

Thanks

I believe you can do the puyo puyo tetris hack and afterwards the fake news hack, which require a pc once. And then install nereba.

When you got this setup, you don't need a pc, jigs or dongle anymore. Just standalone switch (for the moment on 1.0.0). But correct me if i'm wrong

You still need to connect to a PC through wifi to use pegaswitch

If a way is found to use cached content then you wouldn't need anything other than the switch

Ah good you corrected me. I saw the youtube movie on which I saw the switch boot all by itself into cfw. I didn't know there was a pc wifi connection in the background But still awesome the progress

 

[M7L7NK7]

Yeah you can see some stuff happening on the laptop screen after pegaswitch opens, but I didn't make it super obvious

Hi, I have a switch patched in 4.1. What do I do ? I stay in 4.1 and I'm waiting for a hack or I update my console

Stay. 4.x should get hax pretty soon, higher firmwares will have much longer waits.

do you think 5.1.0 will get it eventually?

 

[hippy dave]

Yes, definitely eventually.
