Hello, i have a new switch (17/07/18 - fnac - France - gray) with the serial XAJ4004837**** do you think is patched switch or not ? I see on the first post "XAJ400400 - XAJ400490" it's a range ? Because my switch serial number is in the range.

How i can be sure without buy sx pro (out of stock always)

You have to make a jig ( paperclip ? )
Ground pin 1 / 10 together, then try to boot while holding vol+

If it is ok, nothing should happened.

It took me at least 5 try to succed the first time ;)

BTW, it souldn't be patched =)

If its 4.0.1 or less, its not going to be patched and its a very old unit in terms of manufacture.

Also it sounds like any new shipment is going to be patched if we're getting wide spread reports even for something like Walmart for a small community like ours.

You found a Switch in a Toys R Us in Canada???
I thought they are closing all the store in North America... And mine was quickly empty of switch (and others systems ...)
How much did you pay for it?

patched or unpatched unit can be boot in RCM mode.
You have to also try to send any payload and see if the unit accept it or not.
Usually, I recommend using biskeydump.bin paylaod and it does not required any data on MicroSD card.

Toys R Us isn't closing in Canada (yet). It was on "sale" for 380 CAD, before tax.

Are you sure about that serial range info?, i don't have sx os or pro to test it yet.

Mine is a XAW100456, so i should be fine right?
I just use what I found on 1st page...
And it came from all of us, it's just all the return that each one of us made...

but yours seems "old", even the FW should be a 4.0.1
so can easily check (if you already unpacked it of course...)

Ordered a grey switch/Mario kart bundle from Walmart. It came in and had A XAW100841 serial, so I returned it.

Went to Best Buy and found this one. All works fine and it's running SX OS. XAW100804 was the lowest SN they had.

Move fast! The hackable switches are running out.

I returned it to Best Buy, and they let me exchange it for another one. The kids there were awesome! Since no more than 2 consoles can leave the back at once, they took the FW unpatched list and got the lowest firmware they found.
EDIT: Not sure if it was a false positive, but I took a screen shot of biskeydump.bat command window and it ended with "Smashed the stack with a 0x0057 byte SETUP request!" - all the other fails seem to be 0x0000
All payloads show injected but screen stayed black. The new console loaded the payload right up.

That's extremely strange. Users have reported XAW70017 working and considering that your byte setup wasn't all 0s like other banned units, yours must not have been patched. It might have potentially been an error on your computer so a false positive seems likely.
