Since Fail0verflow has released the Bootrom Exploit, I read on some news, that it isn't patchable by firmware. So I ask: Can we update to FW 5.0.1 and can get the CFW by only using software or do we have stay on 4.1.0?
Stay on 4.1.0 until we have some concrete details. IIRC, Kate said something about there being 4 different camps for exploits. Those with 1.0, those who have anything up to 3.0, then 4.1.0, and then 5.0+.
If you had anything above 4.1.0 then upgrade all the way. But if you're on 4.1.0, I reckon you should stay there for now.
That is one of the things that struck me as weird since everybody regardless of firmware started shorting their Joy-Cons or Switches even though anyone on firmwares 3.0 supposedly had software methods of loading the exploit. I wonder why they didn't release the software method? It must be patched out in some capacity since they also stated that anyone above 3.0 would require hardmod when the exploit was supposed to be released and a software equivalent coming out after an indefinite amount of time.
I am wondering if we will ever be able to sign and flash our own CFW" Something a bit like Sighax on 3ds. Exemple, boot on atmosphere 1 time get needed keys and file then be able to directly boot on CFW without doing the exploit again. I am suspecting this will not be possible in the near future...Sorry for the lack on understanding every aspect of all this but i am just asking 
Best thing is this exploit is permanent albeit having to be tethered in later versions so you're never completely locked out like on the 3DS for good chunks of time
The disclosure agreement that Kate has with NVidia sounds like it restricts her to releasing methods either after a certain date or after the same method has been released by someone else. The only one that's leaked so far is the tethered "hardmod", so we gotta wait a bit on software
I’m on v5.0.2. How long do I need to wait for a softmod hack since I don’t like doing hardmods?
By then I’d probably be on a newer version.... I only have one switch that I use everyday and I don’t want to lose online features because I’m not up to date. I’m just a little bit worried that’s all.
I’ve been in the console modding community since the Wii era so I do have some experience in softmods but when it comes to hardmods, it’s always a no-go zone for me.
