Hacking RCM homebrew assistance

[Krampus89]

I have just purchased an RCM loader for the Nintendo switch and have set up everything as told. however when I turn on the power and hold the volume button It wont load and just loads the normal Nintendo boot.

What am I doing wrong or does it just not work anymore?

That means you are not properly bridging the pins when trying to enter RCM (if you even trying entering it in the first place).

RCM Loader One comes pre-configured with some payloads, if I recall correctly, so you don't need to do anything special, really. I would still charge it fully, though. Just plug it in your computer with the provided cable. As bad361 said, you're possibly not entering RCM properly. It's holding vol + while your jig is inserted and then pressing Power button.

You're right they can. But the OP would just see a black screen and nothing else with a dongle.

I did and nothing happen, the RCM loader blinked blue, (If I recall when the black screen shows without anything then its in RCM mode) but nothing happens after that

If you have access to a Windows PC, you can also try TegraRcmGUI. That would tell you without a doubt if you entered RCM properly.

I actually had checked to make sure.
I held down the power button and the volume button and the screen stays black. Telling me that the RCM is loaded but it just won’t load

Are you absolutely positive that your Switch is unpatched? What is your serial number? (don't mention the last 4 digits to be safe) If you're not sure of what you have, check with this: https://gbatemp.net/threads/a-defin...atched-or-not-purchases-after-07-2018.512018/

So I double checked my switch with TeraRcmGUI and it had shown It had RCM loaded onto it

Run that test Dust2dust linked above, if it failed it is patched.
