So it is time quit nintendo. this is my second switch, my first 1 was unable to Jailbreak. Now it is brick. Anyways thank for your comment mate.
why couldn't you jailbreak the first one? How did you try doing it? Some switches won't jailbreak because of the sd card reader. Try swapping the sd card reader from the hackable bricked switch to the non bricked switch. There's a good chance it will work.

That is honestly quite funny~ maybe everyone will follow step one this time and make a nand backup :)
Still not cool, I'm not affected by this, I have a back up on my external drive and the cloud for each fw I've been on just incase there's ever a downgrade cold boot solution but some people have lost $300 worth of hardware and anyway you spin it that's not cool

Any way you spin it, it's user error. Being intentionally malicious is terrible and all, but if you're not going to take precautions and actually wait for a verified safe source, you're 100% to blame for your incompetence.

Some people did take precautions but did not realize they needed a nand backup of their current fw - because the guides aren't completely noob proof.

Any way you spin it people purposely made brick code and ruined people's switches causing thousands of dollars of damage.

Not his fault you feel the need to pirate. Life goes on..

Also, do the prominent guides not mention burnt fuses?

Some people were probably attracted by the game being released early.

And some people may have thought they had not burnt fuses by updating with chodj without realizing you have to use autorcm to avoid this.

Well at first i never intend to Jailbreak my device because I was afraid i would get my switch banned but after i found out that sx pro is safe for me, then i brought my first switch for jailbreak but did not work out because it is one of the patched unit and it won't be able to Jailbreak. Even now i think TX not yet be able to Jailbreak the famous unhackable switch drop everywhere nowadays. And i just realised that i can back up NAND and restore after i got my device brick. Many people got their device brick because of pokemon nps file.

Sad to see you go. I'll buy your switch for 50 bucks
Buy my unhackable 1, still available lol

My point exactly... Oi.... A very important first step after modifying any given platform. A backup, if applicable.

Apparently, some of you white knights doxxed them? Oi, this scene is pathetic...

Is the brick code on the XCI too?
Simple word of advice. Get it from a trusted source and you will be fine. Most of these people got it from a discord link or a quickly removed thread on another forum.
