Currently, all the existing CFWs for the Nintendo Switch require that the console be connected to a computer, smartphone or special dongle to inject a payload at the appropriate time and boot the custom firmware. The console has been out for a little over four years now, and nobody has found a way to eliminate this need for tethering. Since newer revisions of both the hardware and the software contain less, not more, exploitable bugs than previous versions, it only gets harder and harder to find a workable exploit, so it seems to me like if we were ever going to get a proper coldboot CFW, we would have it by now. There's buckets of people more knowledgeable than me about the Switch here, so I'm asking you guys for your opinions: will we ever have an untethered Switch hack? Is the dream still alive?
