I think it has something to do with the sd card format (FAT32 to exFAT).
When I started the hack some months ago, I always used FAT32 as format for the sd card and a CFW without exFAT support (until 8.1.0).
Then recently we got the DQXI Demo, so I wanted to play it on CFW. However I needed to install the Demo (.nsp) but it was a bit bigger than 4GB. So in the end, I decided to update my CFW from 8.1.0 to 8.1.0 Exfat. I used Choidujour.
To have an optimal repartition, I installed everything related to Nintendo, online games and OFW on Switch's internal memory.
Then I formatted my sdcard to be Exfat and filled it with all my previous hacking stuff.
And here I started to boot into RCM mode without my usual jigg method (joycon + tinfoil) and it surprised me because I could switch easily between CFW & OFW and vice-versa without a jigg.
Process steps :
1) FAT32 sd card on CFW (without Exfat support)
2) On OFW, uninstall everything related to OFW that is on the sd card (ex : uninstall Splatoon 2 update on sd card, then pull off sd card to install Splatoon 2 update on internal memory)
3) On CFW, update with Choidujour to obtain a CFW with exFAT support
4) Format sd card to exFAT
By the way, I don't have any Dongle, I always used Joycon + Tinfoil back then.
With these steps I dunno why but I think it tricked the RCM on/off switch and now to go into CFW I just have to link it to PC and press Vol+ (no jigg required).
And it's not AutoRCM doing because I can switch between CFW -> OFW and OFW -> CFW.
