You should read the op next time. There is described that xkw and xkj (or however the numbers are) are the mariko revisions. And by the way, your console comes with the red box.


If on 4.1.0 or lower it possible on older units

Gonna have to wait for TX and or what comes after.

Sorry, you're right, I made a mistake, in my head I added a 1, that's why I said patched it.
Because it is in this area. And i have a unit in the same area. Did you read the op?:wacko:

You sure about that?
(XK* units are all Mariko which released mid-2019, and 1.0.0 was only on launch day units from March 2017 and does not support Mariko hardware :P)

Are you asking if that Switch is hackable?

From the OP:
Serials beginning with XKW and XKJ:
These Switches have the new motherboard revision called "Mariko".
They are 100% patched.

TL;DR. Compare your serial here to know if your Switch is patched or not:

Serials beginning with XAW1:
Serials between XAW10000000000 - XAW10074000000 are safe to buy
Serials between XAW10075000000 - XAW10120000000 are possibly patched
Serials above XAW10120000000 are definitely patched


Serials beginning with XAW4:
Serials between XAW40000000000 - XAW40011000000 are safe to buy
Serials between XAW40011000000 - XAW40012000000 are possibly patched
Serials above XAW40012000000 are definitely patched


Serials beginning with XAW7:
Serials between XAW70000000000 - XAW70017800000 are safe to buy
Serials between XAW70017800000 - XAW70030000000 are possibly patched
Serials above XAW70030000000 are definitely patched


Serials beginning with XAJ1:
Serials between XAJ10000000000 - XAJ10020000000 are safe to buy
Serials between XAJ10020000000 - XAJ10030000000 are possibly patched
Serials above XAJ10030000000 are definitely patched


Serials beginning with XAJ4:
Serials between XAJ40000000000 - XAJ40046000000 are safe to buy
Serials between XAJ40046000000 - XAJ40083000000 are possibly patched
Serials above XAJ40083000000 are definitely patched


Serials beginning with XAJ7:
Serials between XAJ70000000000 - XAJ70040000000 are safe to buy
Serials between XAJ70040000000 - XAJ70050000000 are possibly patched
Serials above XAJ70050000000 and above definitely patched


Serials beginning with XAW9:
Refurbished Consoles directly from Nintendo, no informations, but
very possible all patched.


Serials beginning with XAK:
No informations available, since those are only sold in Korea (?)


Serials beginning with XKW and XKJ:
These Switches have the new motherboard revision called "Mariko".
They are 100% patched.


F.A.Q:

Q: The Serial of my Switch begins with four or more zeros, what does it mean?
A: Those Switches are all unpatched and can be bought without hesitation. Leading zeros just
mean that actual serial number that follows is very small, so the switch is rather old.

Q: My Serial is in the orange region, which says that it is possibly patched, what does that mean for me?
A: This means that it is not possible to tell from your serials number if your Switch is patched or not. It has
to do with the fact that after patched units were first produced, Nintendo also produced unpatched units. That
leads to an overlap.

Q: I've already bought a Switch in the orange region, what should I do?
A: It depends. If it is still sealed and you have the possibility to return it, you should probably try to get a Switch
in the green region. If you can't return it, just try and see for you self if it is patched or not. It is not possible
to brick/harm/destroy the Switch with this method:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/a-defin...atched-or-not-purchases-after-07-2018.512018/

Q: My Switch is definitely patched, what should I do now?
A: You have two options:
1) Wait till a hacker finds a way to hack a patched Switch unit. We don't know when or if they'll find a solution. You need to be patient.
2) Sell the Switch and get an unpatched one

Q: I found a Switch with serial XYZ and it is really close to the XYZ+1 one I found in the spreadsheet, which was unpatched. Should I buy it?
A: This is missleading. Yes, it might be unpatched, but serial XYZ could also be in the orange region. That would mean the guy on the spreadsheet got an
unpatched one, while yours could be patched. Always compare the serials to the colour regions above, never to a single serials in isolation.

Q: I have read this guide and I know that the guide said my switch is unpatched/possibly patched/patched. Should I still ask a question about if anyone has information
about my Switch?

A: No. The guide is up-to-date and the borders are trusted. You can post it of course, but don't expect any new informations.

Q: I have seen other guide similar to this guide with slightly different borders, what's the deal with that?
A: Basically, other sites copied the informations and posted them on their side without giving credit. I don't care. What
I do know is that this guide is the most accurate one out there. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

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.

Q: I read everything and I am still confused about the guide. Please help?
A: If you have read everything twice you have my permission to ask in this thread. Beware of snarky comments.

Q: What about XAW9, XAK and other serials numbers not in the guide?
A: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't know. I don't work for Nintendo, nor do I have any insider knowledge. I just gather that the people have collected in this thread
and the spreadsheet. There is to little information about those to make good predictions.

Q: Where can I find the serial number on the Box?
A: Have a look in the spoiler. The box has a little cut-out where the serial should be visable.
switch-box-9aba6420-9a51-414f-9d24-d26052031da1.png

Q: I want Switch with a specific firmware preinstalled, can you help me out?
A: Compare the serial to the list inside this spoiler.

Q: I want to help, what can I do?
A: If you have all informations about your Switch, fill out the form below and post it here.

Serial:
Serial on device matches serial on box:
Region:
Firmware:
Color option:
Store:
Was a bundle (if yes, which):
Purchase date:
Fusée Gelée works:

If you know with which Firmware your switch came out of the box, please fill in those fields.




According to CTCear, here are some information about the Switch serial numbers:



For example: XAJ70002712345

X: Product of NX line
A: Switch Hardware
J70: Assembly line
The following numbers are probably a consecutive number. So the Switch in the example is Switch number 2712345.

Here is a quick guide on how to check the Firmware without going through the initial setup.





Xplic1T created a spreadsheet that contains all information that we gathered in this thread in more detail then the OP.
You can view it here
Feel free to edit the spreadsheet with more informations

Hello guys,

I just wanna make sure if this unit that I’m buying is hackable, the unit’s serial is XAJ700405 and it falls under the orange region based on the first page.

I also tried using online checker e.g: ismyswitchpatched and ssnc, both says that the unit is hackable, however when I checked again using the Team Xecuter’s site it says that the unit might be patched.

So now I’m confused whether to continue the purchase or if somebody can help me clarify that this unit is indeed hackable or not. Any information is much appreciated. Thanks!


Edit: I took the risk and it paid off, switch is now running custom firmware. :yayswitch:
