Nereba Exploit: Reboot to Fusée Gelée payload from stock firmware.

nintendo-switch-homebrew-launcher.jpg

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.

I'm a newbie in console modding, just brought a new switch recently without knowing that it was patched, does nereba exploit work on patched switch? Since it almost feels like the same with deja vu does, I'm on 5.1.0 patched switch atm.

If the switch is Ipatched then it won't work, especially as this is for units with firmware 1.0 on and yours is 5.1.0.

If the switch is Ipatched or not doesn't matter with this exploit only the firmware version. But afaik all ipatched switches are shipped with a higher firmware.

But for @ItziRyan156 the coldboot exploit should be possible until fw 7.0, so a working exploit for your switch should come in the next couple months if you don't update ;)

I'm definitely staying on 5.1.0 like it's my own life, never let anyone from my household touching my switch, but too bad sounds like my switch will be collecting dust for now. But I thought only deja vu were possible on ipatched units? Is there a possible coldboot exploit in the the future? I thought ipatched units means no cooldboot exploit since fuse gelee coolboot exploit is possibly the only hardware hack available atm.

Deja Vu can be made to work up to firmware 7.0.1 but it'll require some work which means those on higher firmware versions will have to wait longer for it to be ported than those on lower firmware versions.

If it was possible to update any console to 7.0.1 (from game cart?) then it’d make sense just to make the hack work on that version instead all the previous ones.

It will be made first to the specific firmware where it's easiest to implement. Then it will work its way up.

This would interest me much more if it wasn't detectable by nintendo while online, or didn't touch the sysnand. Would save having to install auto-rcm and you could essentialiy switch between an emunand and sysnand with just the use of a dongle. Im guessing this will warrant a ban though.

Any modification to your switch warrant a ban from Nintendo.

In theory true. As far as I know, using Linux based apps doesn't touch the nand at all though(Lakka, Ubuntu) aswell as Autorcm, things done offline in emunand etc....
Used correctly none of them has led to anyone getting banned and using different operating systems probably aren't even remotely detectable by Nntendo. If your going to use the above method effectively you might aswell be banned in the first place or stay offline. Im sure their are plenty of people that don't care to have their console get banned or just stay offline, so it will be of use to them.

Not necessarily. Later firmware are harder to exploit and some of the parts of the exploit chain may not have been fixed in the latest version, so you're likely to see older firmware versions get it first.

Can anyone confirm, if we update our Switches past 7.0.1 and revert back to a lower firmware (also, without burning fuses), would we still be able to use Deja Vu when it finally arrives?

yea, as long as you don’t burn your fuses and are able to downgrade to <=7.0.1 you’ll be able to use Deja Vu

If you are on 7.0.1 and updated to 8.0.1, there will be no fuse to burn.
However i don't know if you can downgrade from 8 to 7.
