Hello everyone!

It's been a while since I jailbroke my Nintendo Switch, and everything is still working great (even though it’s running a very old version).

One of my friends now wants to buy a Switch for his kids, but I can’t remember which guide I used or how to check whether a console is patched or not. I also don’t remember which models are affected (Switch v1, Lite, OLED, or Switch 2).
He's planning to buy a used Switch to increase the chances of getting a patchable console.

Is there an up-to-date guide that explains which consoles are still patchable and what to look for before buying one?
 
Find a switch 1 ( non lite or Oled) check its serial number ( boogle search is my switch patched)
if you were in N.ireland ill sell you mine.

Is it possible to jailbreak the OLED version as well?

Also, I remember hearing that the Lite might get a jailbreak, has anything changed with that, or is it still not working?

Also is there a guide somewhere to jailbreak it?

Do a Google search with the terms "switch guide" and you'll find the best one that exists, it should be the first result.

You do not «jailbreak» the switch that is a apple term. You mod it

There are various versions of the switch:
V1 have a hardware bug exploitable you can directly mod by using the USB port.
The versions post 2018 need to install a modchip, those includes switch v2, lite and OLED.

Switch 2 so far have no exploitable way to mod it

Ahh, good to know!
One last question (sorry for being annoying)!😅🙏

If I manage to find a patchable Switch but it’s updated to the latest firmware, can it still be modded?

My current Switch only needs an RCM loader to boot into Atmosphere.

Any News about switch lite??

Probably not the answer you were hoping for, but if you absolutely don't want to go down the modchip route, you should sell your Switch Lite and look into buying an unpatched v1 Switch.
