Hacking What’s a safe update guide for someone who used Switchway to jailbreak their v1 Switch?

Elrasiel · Apr 10, 2026

I liked their method because it was easy to update, but now their website has been shut down and they’ve become greedy, asking for money to access their guides and files. So I was wondering which guides would be safe to follow for updates going forward.

Fairly sure this is the recommended guide:
https://switch.hacks.guide/

Never heard of Switchway. All that comes up on Google is things related to Fortnite.

No that site isn’t useful either as there no section for just the update :-/

Just use Vanillatmosphere. It's just the unmodified upstream projects in a preconfigured simple pack. Comes with Atmosphere, Hekate, sys-patch, and the hb-appstore. You can literally just drag it to your SD to update it.

If you search the site provided by @Scarlet for more than 3 seconds you'll find what you're looking for:
https://switch.hacks.guide/extras/updating.

As far as I'm aware this is the most up to date guide.
