up to now i have maybe tried almost every way of booting into RCM.
not one worked. i tried both the 3d jigs, paperclips, wires and even tried to get the rail out (but my screwdriver broke, i don't know why).
i think it booted into RCM twice but both times i had just connected it to the pc and it turned on by itself.

i have a switch with 4.1.0 should i just wait for the softmod?

if you're having that many issues with something so basic, yes. wait.

AFAIK, only 1.0.0 can have softmod.
That's a lie.
As soon as a softmod is out, there will be a method to install the Softmod to NAND.
I'm on 4.1.0 and I'm able to dump/inject my NAND as often as I want.
As soon as we get Softmod, we need to "Hardmod" (RCM-Boot) once to install a modified NAND

(Softmod is already out)
Problem is that only 1.0.0 can currently boot to RCM without hardmod.
And Atmosphere is EmuNAND = no NAND modification. So it is not a lie, because you need to boot to RCM to launch payload to (eventually) boot to EmuNAND.

Kubas, could you please stop posting wrong statements? Please?

And those times people told everyone of you that there are no "one sentece catchphrases available" for "what version you should be on, stay on, get" - boy they werent kidding.

Currently this is "no ready perons guide to false answers on all your Switch questions" in here.

I'm not going to correct it, someone of the "new valuable forum members" do it. If you find it so fun to be part of a community - that at least two times a day tries to get personal, tailored service requests and the same question.

Which can't be answered, because - some of it is personal preference based, and some of it is judging betting odds - but the stream of people trying to get a personalized answer for free doen't stop.

Barring a physical disability it shouldn't be that hard. If you're using a paper clip or wire then use the middle screw on the joy-con rail as ground.

Could you post a constructive one? What is wrong about it please?

Ok.
1. You need to setup Pegaswitch
2. You should install Fakenews, so that you can connect to pegaswitch without Puyo.
- Now you can launch scripts via pegaswitch on your switch.
3. Learn how to install .nsp "packages" (for homebrew).
- This script can "install" .nsp "packages" to 1.0.0 up to 3.0.0 systems.
4. For payloads, you need to boot to RCM. Either via hardmod, or if on 1.0.0, via this .nsp "package".

That would be the fifth time in about three days.

Ill wonder what my braking point will be - when I tell everyone with a one sentence "most easy" answer on "what to update to" AFTER NOTHING on the consumer facing side has changed AT ALL - to go to H-E- double hockeysticks.

You guys are literally the worst. How often do you have to hear the full explanation in different threads until it is enough?

3.0.0 will also be able to boot into RCM - without hardmod, just not from coldboot.
So will 4.1.0 most likely - some time in the future.

If people can't differenciate between "coldboot", "softmod", "hardware assisted" and the properties of "temporary jig solutions" - why do those of us who can - always have to suffer through reading wrong "tips" being popularized by people who have no idea whats going on?

i will try i guess im good to go with fake news and pega, and will try to get homebrew working as of jow, and for the custom script to show ill use the help of my friend he is a programmer, so i guess he can aid me.

but for now 1.0.0 is good to go with pega/homebrew/rcm right.
now im starting to feel the wait was worth it

i guess a pinned post with all those atuff asked will serve all those asking better, i dont have the full knowledge so i can post a full thread but if you do, kindly post one it will help anyone.

most people got lost after what happened in the past week thats all so thats why you see loads of threads

I am saying what I was told on Reswitched discord. If it's wrong, feel free to correct me, but show us your sources.

There are two things that could be referred to as a soft mod.

One is running homebrew to trigger RCM each time, the other is to wipe the bootloader which will trigger RCM on every coldboot.

Both can be done on firmware later than 1.0.0, but the former has only been released for use with 1.0.0 due to the other exploits being private. The later hasn't been released at all yet, although you could probably figure out how to do it from Linux relatively easily.

Once you're in RCM then you still need to tether to run the exploit, no matter which hardmod/softmod you use. There will likely to be an exploit that allows tetherless exploit for <=4.1.0 sometime, but that is unrelated to fusee gelee.

1.0.0 could always do pega. EVERY console thats not the new hardware revision can do rcm and NO, HBL currently is only partly working on 1.0.0 - with frequent crashes in apps (because HBL never was developed for 1.0.0).

And now stop all those threads of individual people asking for individual support on what they can or could or should do regarding to the version of firmware they are on.

This is maddening.

You have more people answering those questions incorrectly - than people who care to still assist the three people posting the SAME question EVERY day - with different firmware versions - expecting personal support.

You see that this isn't working - you see that you'll get all sorts of BS answers before someone bothers to correct it - and if its corrected, It has to be one of five guys.

You are abusing the forum.


What part of "no new enduser solutions available yet" didn't you understand?

What part of the list of firmwares for "I want to update from x to y" gets longer every day - so this becomes exponentially more difficult to answer for three users a day - if you don't want to read what "groups" of firmwares can do or are expected to do - on your own. Its over for free services.

gbatemp should hire up callcenter agents already, if it expects this to continue for no reason.

If you are getting excited, because developers now have the opportunity to work on the platform - stop acting like if you are one yourself, or you can bother one whenever you like to (I have a friend...). If there are no "most easy way to" tutorials out yet, they arent out yet for a reason.

You are currently missing nothing. Apart from the opportunity of doing more things wrong, coming to no exceptable result whatsoever. (So you want to boot homebrew apps that will crash after a few seconds on 1.0.0, or to set up a linux environment on your switch without controller, touch or sound support? Great.

Then look up the tutorials and do it on your own - don't post three "I'm on x can I now y?" postings every day...

No new enduser facing solution or hack was released.

You getting excited and wanting to participate, or to know what you should do because of future developments, os JUST and SOLEY getting into the way of devs - and on the nerves of people who actually bothered to keep up with whats currently going on.

I really don't care.

There is nothing out there for you (the end user) at the moment (apart rom HBL for 3.0.0), there are no new developments for you that took place in the last four (?) months. If you are antsy and want to order a jig, or a "cable" to do the hardware assisted mod in the future - do it.

The easy tutorials will follow - a few months from now. Its not time for you "thinking you have missed the boat" yet. Its not the time for your "should I, would I, can I update to..." questions yet. A few things are still in motion. Answers to that will get more easy and manageable once we have a few more specifics. And once a few more issues are solved (so you want to connect your Switch to a powered USB device and put a thing into ints controller rails every time to start up your Switch? No? Then wait a while, and dont ask if its ok to update yet. Some of this stuff is usability related also -

- every one might be guchi with one of those prerequisites just named in the future - but I am sure as HECK that no one wants to live with both until the end of their Switch usage. So wait until some of those things can get solved, and the thing you actually want to use (CFW) gets released, and then ask the same original question three times a day in all new and different threads in here.

At least then we can give you a simple answer. Currently its just - stop doing it, and wait.

(Or read up on the specifics on your own.)
