Everything is working fine on my pc, i can hear the "windows device plug in sound" when the switch is into RCM and the switch is listed in the device manager as "libusbK USB Devices" - "APX"
it happened to me i'm on linux and it did not launch altu the switch was listed as apx so i went ahead and i tried with windows and it worked

Maybe there some slight hardware changes on the new units that makes hekate/sx incompatible but still allows you to enter rcm mode though.

What cable are you using when using NX loader?
When I tried nxloader from my switch to my s8+ I was using the changing cable for my S8+
Which is USB-A to USB-C, but I used an A-C adaptor one the A end.
I had to plug the adaptor end into the phone, if I plugged it into the switch it didn't work.

Also, just to be sure, what are you using to enter RCM? A printed jig? A paper Clip?

I have just tried on linux and it doesnt work, the switch screen stay black

Yes on Windows TegrasmashGUI says that it detect the RCM device. (and then "payload injected")


Code:
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu/Downloads/fusee-launcher-master# python3 fusee-launcher.py payload.bin

Important note: on desktop Linux systems, we currently require an XHCI host controller.
A good way to ensure you're likely using an XHCI backend is to plug your
device into a blue 'USB 3' port.

Identified a Linux system; setting up the appropriate backend.
Found a Tegra with Device ID: ------------

Setting ourselves up to smash the stack...
Uploading payload...
Smashing the stack...
The USB device stopped responding-- sure smells like we've smashed its stack. :)
Launch complete!


Im using a paper clip, it never fails

I bought my switch in Tokyo (BIC camera) 10 days ago and it came with 4.1.
There is 99% chance there is NO hardware revision out yet.
You said tegrasmashgui can inject payload, and then you can see the payload on switch screen ?
Can you load hekate ?
Did you try different payloads ? Which one?

I am having the same problem with OP.
I don't have any random issue on my 2 switch consoles at all.
I just purchased another switch console 2 days ago and I failed to send any payload to it.
Using the same PC with my other 2 consoles, both of them works fine but not this newly purchase switch.
this and that other guy just don't know what they are doing. I got a new switch a week ago on 4.1 and it was fine. these guys are just idiots.

I know exactly what I am doing, I can boot up another 2 older consoles just fine.

Can you check on the back of your nintendo switch for year and model ?
Mine are:
2018 HAC-S-JXE-C3 = does not work
2016 HAC-S-JP/EU-C0 = works fine
2017 HAC-S-JP/EU-C1 = works fine
Thanks.
