why the fuck would they remove RCM fully? It's needed for some shit at ninty. They probs just fixed the CVE.They probably removed RCM on new hardware revisions which is what we were expecting
Can you give it back and ask for a 2017 model?

They're switching the T210 SoC to the T214 which is immune to the exploit that enables ace through the rcm
Already done, newest units have ipatches which fix shofusel2They could also fix the T210 bootrom in the factory on any new switches without changing the SoC.
I'll probably buy a second Switch for online, after my first one gets banned. Switch prices are going down anyway, you could get a brand new Switch yesterday for $225. Maybe by this time next year, Switches might be $150.
But, hey, I hope that 20 dollars a year is worth it for their online, because I only went online with my 3DS a few times for Animal Crossing.

Agreed.I assumed that was the case, but hadn't seen any confirmation.
But it has been known for ages that Nintendo wouldn't need to ship Mariko to fix the issue, they might even delay that now to try to beef up security and specification more.
Agreed.
Quite a few information going on here. Can you indicate which is correct.Already done, newest units have ipatches which fix shofusel2

It's interesting they ship with 4.1.0 though, I wonder why that is.
If they've only patched the publicly released exploit, then there may still be others.
The bootrom of the Switch is read-only meaning neither we nor Nintendo can modify it. Meaning Nintendo cannot modify it through a firmware update. Meaning Nintendo can only modify it physically or before it leaves the factory.Quite a few information going on here. Can you indicate which is correct.
These T210 switches with the new ipatches are coming new from the factory or is it through a firmware update affecting every single switch?
So if my switch is hackable now it will be hackable forever through FG?
So to sum up, All current units have the Tegra 210 SoC which is vulnerable to shofusel2. Upcoming units will have the Tegra 214 SoC which is completeley immune to shofusel2.Quite a few information going on here. Can you indicate which is correct.

To also quote this, this is wrong. Nintendo can modify the bootrom at factory, which is what they did. Said ipatches on the T210 SoC patch the shofusel2 vuln and leave those units to the same option as upcoming Mariko units: Software Exploits/New Hardware Vulns.The bootrom of the Switch is read-only meaning neither we nor Nintendo can modify it.

I thought this was a given but I'll amend my post Mr. Technical >.<To also quote this, this is wrong. Nintendo can modify the bootrom at factory, which is what they did.

Mariko units will come with a least 5.0.0 so they are SoL atm.
Current units which are not vuln to shofusel2 come with 4.1.0 which leaves one last door open:
Deja Vu, tz vuln, enables direct warmboot into atmosphere.
Didn't mean to sound rude or anything, but the guy above seems new so I thought I'd better call this one out too.I thought this was a given but I'll amend my post Mr. Technical >.<
That's fine, I want to spread the most appropriate misinformation as much as you do. I didn't sense any rudeness from your response. I can tell you know more about what's going on than me. I guess its my fault for watering down the information a little too much.Didn't mean to sound rude or anything, but the guy above seems new so I thought I'd better call this one out too.
Nah, technically you're right, after the unit leaves the factory the bootrom is a hundred percent read only and can't be modified by a system update nor anything else.That's fine, I want to spread the most appropriate misinformation as much as you do.

So is Nintendo ipatching all new Switches coming out of the factory? So basically all newly manufactured switches are immune to FG?So to sum up, All current units have the Tegra 210 SoC which is vulnerable to shofusel2.

Why not? They don't lose much, if anything at all, from doing this. Its better than having to recall all manufactured consoles to apply the patches themselves. Also, as someone else pointed out, they may have been doing this for a while but we are now seeing the effects in action because old stock out prioritizes new stock. Eventually, all Switches will either be part of the new revision or have the appropriate patches applied.So is Nintendo ipatching all new Switches coming out of the factory?
