Hi I'm new to switch jailbreaking but did so on my wii/U and have a few questions.
1. I'm on 5.1.0 should i update then jailbreak it?
2.Is there a way to launch the HBC without needing to run the laptop or phone rcm first?
3. Can i run games from an external HDD whilst docked if can you link me to a guide.
Thanks

- Unlike the Wii U, firmware is irrelevant with the current exploit on the Switch because it is hardware-based, not software-based. However there are certain Switch units whose hardware is immune to the exploit. We differentiate vulnerable and immune consoles via the serial number. You can find a list of those here
- The entire exploit relies upon sending a payload via RCM. No payload, no exploit. No exploit, no CFW or homebrew
- The only way to run games off of an external HDD is with SX OS and they only support .XCI files, not .NSP files. On top of that, you have to pay for SX OS while all other free CFW support both .XCI and .NSP but not off of an HDD
Just received a brand new unpatched switch on FW 4.1 has not connected to the internet yet or even used other than system setup. My SX OS Pro in the mail. I just had a few questions and concerns.
I want to do the following:
1) play the games I bought on the Eshop, cartridges, tetris 99 etc... on my console online as safe as possible
2) do other things that cfw allows
As this is a brand new switch am I correct in the following step?
Step 1) Download SX OS boot dat and SX dumper
Step 2) Keep Switch offline and backup NAND via SX OS. Store in safe place. Wouldn't the process of inserting the dongle and booting in RCM mode dirty the NAND?
Step 3) Install Auto RCM
Step 4) Create Emunand via SX OS. Now that I have Emunand on my SD card I can boot into the regular Sysnand(OFW?) to play my eshop games and boot into emunand for my cfw things? Is it safe to connect to the internet at this point using OFW and updating firmware to play tetris 99? Im assuming the files I download for CFW are already on the latest version so no need to update those. Is it safe/wise to have both sysnand and emunand on different version? Assuming so because they are already seperated.
Step 5) Activate SX OS license. I can do this offline or online. Is one method preferred?
Step 6) At this point should I create another backup of anything? If not enjoy!
Any steps I am missing or is there a better order to do things? Am I completely wrong?
Is it safe to keep my switch connected to wifi now?
Thanks

As far as I know, Yoshi's Crafted World doesn't have an update yet.
Would have preferred the questions to be numbered but I'll just give a general answer in regards to everything you posted.
The best way to not get banned with SX OS is to relegate all CFW/homebrew in EmuNAND while keeping SysNAND as clean as possible for online play. SysNAND can be on whatever firmware you want as the exploit is based on the hardware, not software. However CFW is firmware-dependent and new firmware updates can break CFW. This issue is magnified for EmuNAND as if EmuNAND is ever updated to a firmware that CFW doesn't support, you will not be able to boot it. This is an inconvenience for SysNAND as while you may not be able to boot CFW on a firmware CFW doesn't currently support, you can downgrade SysNAND to a firmware that CFW supports unlike EmuNAND. In all other instances, EmuNAND and SysNAND can be on whatever firmware you want. Of course if you want to play games online with SysNAND, you have to update SysNAND to the latest firmware.
In terms of making a NAND backup, the only things that can dirty it are CFW/homebrew. Payloads don't taint the NAND as they are technically loaded outside of the NAND (coldboot) and all the dongle does is send a payload.
If you want to keep your console as safe as possible, its better to do the offline activation over the online one.
For Wi-Fi settings, once again it is up to you. There are certain things you can only do with Wi-Fi settings such as online play, FTP, homebrew app store, wireless CFW updater tools, etc. However you risk getting nagged to update your system firmware if it is not on the latest. And even if its on the latest, a new firmware can drop at any time that can break CFW as described earlier. Stealth Mode can mitigate this issue but if your goal is to not taint SysNAND with CFW/homebrew, then you can't use Stealth Mode. You can use 90DNS on SysNAND whenever you aren't playing online to prevent new system updates from being downloaded. Otherwise everything else you listed is fine.
Switch games come in 2 formats, .NSP and .XCI. .XCI files are 1:1 copies of Nintendo Switch cartridges which you can either mount with SX OS or install with any CFW. .NSP files are game content that you can install such as games, updates, and DLC which all CFW also support. It also really doesn't matter where you install games as long as you have space and remember where you install it. Installing to NAND makes games launch faster versus SD cards but the NAND is limited at 26 GB while the Switch supports SD cards up to 2 TB.
can someone tell me if someone has a switch they didnt mind risking a ban on sine they have 2 devices one strictly clean online play never used cfw, what the best way to test a game online would be?
say I have an XCI file and the newest NSP update for it, im curious how to even use the cfw to boot the backup on the current version i suppose
once i know this I can try it out. of course with any other helpful added suggestions along the way. thanks!

I don't think I understand what you want to know since it seems your example and initial question are asking two different things.can someone tell me if someone has a switch they didnt mind risking a ban on sine they have 2 devices one strictly clean online play never used cfw, what the best way to test a game online would be?

The easiest online games to test are free games like Paladins or Fortnite since those don't need a Nintendo Online Subscription to play online and can be downloaded at no cost. The only way to install an update for a .NSP file is with CFW which means the update will only be applied when running CFW.
uhhh.... Stupid question about nintendo switch online on pc of what website the app uses to connect?
Try pushing a payload, if it goes through in RCM mode then you got unpatched, if it doesnt go through you got a patched unit.
drax ya i have actually used it on ofw fortnite after using cfw etc .. i have never used cfw and gone on fortnite dunno if you can
but i wanted to run basically a backup(xci) and go on nintendo switch online
like play a game online against someone fifa 19 would be cool
wondering how I can run fifa 19 on cfw to get on NSO , and what fw i should or have to run it on 6.2 or 7x

Only personally dumped .XCI files can go online since you need a header/cert to go online with them which scene dumps lack for obvious reasons. .NSP files need a legitimate ticket which you can only acquire by downloading the game from the eShop which is easy for free games but requires purchase if its not free. And regardless of which format you use, only free games can go online without a subscription while all paid games require you to subscribe to their online service. Last but not least you risk a ban by going online with a backup. While people state there is no difference between a backup and a legitimate game, this means Nintendo can easily ban you for going online with a game they have the slightest inkling is not in its original format especially if you're running unlicensed modifications such as CFW.drax ya i have actually used it on ofw fortnite after using cfw etc .. i have never used cfw and gone on fortnite dunno if you can

Hi Peeps!
I’m new to the SX OS and running out of space on my SD/NAND.
I want to be able to transfer my games to my USB Thumb drive and play via USB on the dock.
I know we can install games via USB, but how do we play games via usb?

SX OS only supports .XCI files on a USB storage device. Just put any of your games in .XCI format on the USB device and play away.
I tried this but still wanted me to install on the SD or NAND?
What am I doing wrong?
