So according the list on the op this Switch is not pached but there is a possibility to be on firmware above 3.0 right?

I know Homebrew & CFW are available until 5 but I think it’s preferable 3 and below right?

This is probably impossible to answer, but does anyone know if any of the black Friday bundles are patched? I'm not sure when those consoles were made
Since ipatched consoles started showing up as of July and the stock for Black Friday consoles is most likely going to be filled with new units, they are probably patched.

That all depends on which CFW you want to use. No, there's really no best CFW out at the moment as they are actively being developed with new features. A basic rundown is that Atmosphere was the first CFW of the scene and will most likely become the breadwinner in the long run while ReiNX was a quick alternative before an official release of Atmosphere became available. SX OS is the oddball being that some of its features are hidden behind a paywall. If you want a personal recommendation, I'm not really the person to ask as I use all 3 for various testing purposes but since all CFW derive from Atmosphere to an extent, its the one I would recommend if I had to.

ReiNX: https://reinx.guide/

Sure it is possible. SX claims they will be able to do it but have shown little evidence so far. Just be prepared to fork over cash for a license if they are the first to crack it. It could take some time and I wouldn’t recommend updating to 6.2 anytime soon.

Interesting, last 2 months ago, I called Nintendo to see if my Switch is unlinked successfully and it did, but they told me that Switch was banned after I unlinked, so I was puzzled and didn't saw any ban before unlinked and sold. I use RCM for strictly homebrew only and used clear logs for my safety, no piracy, no XCI/NSP, no LayeredFS, etc.

It is appears that Nintendo gets HARD on hacking now, unlike Wii and Wii U, so no methods are safe to prevent the ban.

I'm looking to buy unpatched Switch and not going to use hack until I could find safe method to not get a ban. I'm thinking about find a way to import my Zelda save that I didn't backup via cloud, without need access to homebrew. Is it hard to find unpatched Switch nowadays?

@JeepX87 while I don’t have any recent experience looking for a Switch from comments I have seen yes it is getting hard. Probably best to look at smaller retailers in smaller towns, or find a well cared for used one.

I really doubt there will ever be a completely safe method to run CFW and online conveniently. This is why I bought a dedicated CFW Switch and keep it in airplane mode always and update offline.

Good luck!
