Look like it, I haven’t seen a patched one. I won’t guarantee it however.Wait, Nintendo is directly selling refurbed and unpatched units?

It's almost certainly unpatched. You should be good to go.is XAJ7002406 ETC ok for cfw?
Assuming you typed that serial number correctly, it should be unpatched.Excuse me, is XAJ40004610xxx with a 7.0 official firmware ok for CFW? Thank you!
Thank you, yes it is correct. Why did you say that?Assuming you typed that serial number correctly, it should be unpatched.
XAJ40004 systems are old. Many of them even come with 1.0.0. Considering you said it was on 7.0.0, I figured you had either updated it or you added too many zeroes (it wouldn't be the first time) to the serial number.Thank you, yes it is correct. Why did you say that?
Oh no, it was right. This is second-hand. I bought this in amazon. Maybe that is the reason?XAJ40004 systems are old. Many of them even come with 1.0.0.

Regardless, XAJ40004 is unpatched.
That's why. You were lucky that it was unpatched.Oh no, it was right. This is second-hand. I bought this in amazon. Maybe that is the reason?
That sounds great, thank you!That's why. You were lucky that it was unpatched.

If you don't want to buy a jig, there are other options. I personally prefer the paperclip method.Right - I've finally managed to buy today an unpatched switch with dock etc...just need to order a jig and type C cable.
Leave the joy cons connected to the Switch while it's docked for awhile. The joy cons won't charge sometimes, depending on the battery level of the Switch itself.I do seem to have an issue where disconnecting the joycon instantly says Low Battery, but they don't seem to be charging when I put them back in the unit......anyways that's off topic.
Atmosphere is recommended. It has the most features, and it's updated most frequently.Now to do some digging for the relevant and up to date tutorial, but would I be right in thinking Atmosphere would be probably the best cfw to run?

You only need to enter RCM once to install AutoRCM. With AutoRCM, your Switch will coldboot into RCM each time it's power on after being completely powered off.

The paperclip method is nice because, if you're using the correct size and you bend it to the given specifications, it should fit nicely like a jig without you having to even look at the pins. However, I don't believe the paperclip method should be used often, and I only recommend it if the goal is to install AutoRCM.I looked down the joy con and I can barely even physically see the pins lol. All these videos showing eg foil trick for pins 9 and 10 etc must have superhero vision.
I'm still stuffed not having a type C cable so I'll order that from amazon for delivery on Friday, for a couple of £ more I can get prime on a jig too - £5.50 - a bit over priced but at least it'll come at same time so I can get rock n rolling
AutoRCM is relatively safe. If the battery completely dies with AutoRCM installed, it just might take awhile for it to trickle charge enough to re-enter RCM. If you keep the Switch in sleep mode when you're not using it, you are unlikely to run into any issues using AutoRCM.I'm not so sure whether to use AutoRCM as read there may be some issues if the machine goes completely flat sometimes
The firmware doesn’t matter for unpatched Switches.sorry guys, i have one last question: i am buying a used swtich with the serial XAJ40007 etc, so it should be hackable by the serials that appears in the first post. Problem is that the seller said that he played fortnite on it, and updated it till march of this year. he then proceeded to format the unit, but i suppose the firmware is still updated. he does not know where to check the firmware. is it safe to buy it for modding it? or the firmware might be too high?
ok i can go safe and get it? because, again, according to the serial, XAJ40007 etc. it should be unpatched. console was bought in 2017 according to sellerThe firmware doesn’t matter for unpatched Switches.
