Newbie here! Sorry if im asking a stupid question thats already been answered. I just want to be 100% sure. I have a XAW40012XXXXXX S/N & 4.1.0 firmare. Iv found mixed info about if it can be jailbroken or not, but the info here implies that its most likely not possible and has been patched. Am I mistaken?

I have a switch I bought second-hand. it's serial number starts with XAJ9. It's possible to use cfw on it?
We don't know. Only way to find out is by just testing the Switch and you have nothing to lose by trying. If that one guy's post on the previous page is any indication, it seems to be a refurbished console that in his experience are not usually patched but then again, none of us do not work at Nintendo so we cannot definitely say it is unpatched.

Q: I found a bundle XYZ. Is it patched or unpatched?
A: Bundles don't play any role whether a Switch is patched or unpatched. Always go after serials number.

Hello!!
I recently bought a XAJ40083XXXXXX and don´t show me the firmware in the information of menu options of the console. I am very very noob in the scene with the Switch, I am reading and reading and for the moment I don't update it... Can you tell me if I can run a CFW on it?

Serials beginning with XAJ4:
Serials between XAJ40000000000 - XAJ40046000000 are safe to buy
Serials between XAJ40046000000 - XAJ40060000000 are possibly patched
Serials above XAJ40060000000 are definitely patched

I was afraid of it but I was hoping that the list was not updated. I understand that in this case it may take a long time for the serial number to be so high. Now the dilemma is to update or not update as it is likely that can't play many titles without doing it...

Try it out with a jig, the higher the serial the less accurate is the list.

If you're on 8.0 with a patched unit, sell it
