Are there sellers who sell tested switches on e.g. ebay, or do you have to buy one and hope it works (and if it doesn't return it)?

When you buy in store you can look at the barcode there is a little cutout on the box.
Match it with the table one first page.

Or if you buy it used on Ebay, ask them for serial code, then check it here with the serials in first post.

I just bought my Switch, and i'm learning everything about jailbreak now. What does "Patched" mean?

I can't jailbreak if it is patched?

Currently, "patched" units are impervious to the current exploit Fusee Gelee. There may be some hope on the horizon from them in the form of the warmboot exploit, Deja Vu however but Deja Vu only works on specific firmwares.

Oh! Thanks.

But, Fusee Gelee is one of the ways of jailbreaking right? I'll do the jailbreak tonight, and i'm following the ReinX.Guide. Does this PATCHED means anything to this way of JB?

Thanks again for the answer!

Guys, I tried every step, and I can't go into the CFW.

At first, I got only a black screen, so i retried.
Second time, i got the ReiNX screen, but after, a black screen and nothing else.
So i tried again, waited a long time, and it started, on the normal screen of switch, with nothing on the album.

I've used the method of this post: a-definitive-way-to-test-if-your-switch-is-patched-or-not-purchases-after-07-2018.512018/ to know if my Switch is patched, and it returned the "Smashed the stack with a 0x7000 byte SETUP request!", it means its not patched right?

So i formated my SD on several Allocated Sizes, exFAT, FAT32, and nothing works. What am i doing wrong?

Serial: XAW10109
Serial on device matches serial on box: Yes
Region: USA
Firmware: 4.1.0
Color option: Neon (meant to buy Grey but didn't notice when Walmart person was ringing me up)
Store: Walmart
Was a bundle (if yes, which): No
Purchase date: 12/20/2018
Fusée Gelée works: Yes (0x7000)

Guess me getting the wrong color was a blessing in disguise, although I'm not sure I want to hack my Switch yet, at least not until I'm bored of Smash Ultimate.

That doesn't really answer my question ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think he did a decent job of answering your question. If you can't find a seller on ebay who specifies that he tested his Switch to make sure it's not patched, you should try to ask the seller for the serial number, and check it out yourself here before ordering. Makes perfect sense. Besides, a seller tech savvy enough to know that there are patched and unpatched units out there, would definitely sell you his unpatched Switch overpriced. If you want to save money, seek a seller who is unaware and just ask him for the serial.

Don't worry, your Switch is hackable OK. Just reformat the SD card and start from scratch to install the CFW. https://reinx.guide/ Don't forget to make a NAND backup first.

I have a XAW1006757XXXX and it seems to not be able to enter RCM.

Am I a complete moron or does the first line say XAW1007 and below are safe to buy? Wouldnt that make the one I have work with RCM?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I guess ill be reporting on the first high value one possibly tomorrow in the 1000 series (got XAW1006###). ebay purchase on march 9th from downpat99 but shipped a bit after (uk store) with U.S storehouses. basically in the borderline between 4.0.1 and 5. Theoretically, I don't think nintendo shipped anything with 5 yet, so im expecting 4.0.1 but who knows. I'll be physically getting it possibly tommorrow

Way late on this post but did yours work with RCM? I have a XAW1006 one and it isnt going into RCM. Did this on 3 other switches before just fine.
