Not sure how they did it but they did. I had to update the system to run an NSP and after the update the system boot right into the switch OS with or without the dongle. And the console is of course still blocked so its completely useless now. ;(
get a proper jig.Tried to mod my controller by making a short to pin 9 and 10 (also tried 7 and 10) but still will not go in to the screen to change back to boot from sdcard.
