Hacking Feedback Why does "TegraRcmGui(2.6)" keep saying "No RCM device detected"?

Scientist1029 · Nov 28, 2021

Hello everybody, I have a problem with my TegraRcmGui(2.6). It keeps saying "No RCM device detected" even though I have a USB C cable inserted in the Switch and PC and I'm confidently sure that my Switch is in RCM mode (it doesnt turn on when I press the power button). I also have the RCM jig inserted. So why is the Tegra not detecting my Switch?

Here is the photo of the type of USB C cable im using:

Here is the error it is stating:

do you have the driver's installed? have you tried a diff usb port?

Has it worked before, or is it your first try? There are several possibilities. Your cable might not be compatible. If you have the cable that came with the Switch pro controller, that would work for sure. Your USB port might not be compatible, try another one on your PC. The drivers might not be installed properly for the connection. Maybe try pushing a payload differently, with a dongle like RCM Loader One, or a phone. Be sure you really are in RCM mode. It's hard to tell sometimes.

I think you need to install drivers for that. Maybe that's why your PC is not recognizing the switch?. Idk if I can leave a link for it, but google "switch rcm mode tutorial cfwaifu" and pick the first link in google right under the videos.

I made sure to install the driver beforhand, but that usb port is the only one I have. Which other usb port should i get?

Well if your usb port works well and you have all the driver, then try another cable?

You mean you only have one USB port on your PC ?! That's strange. Is that a laptop? I thought they had at least two.

I think they think port = cable

Yeah it is a laptop. Is it not detecting because my switch is maybe patched? I have a XKW at the beginning of my serial number.

XKW = Mariko
Unfortunate for you, but RCM exploit is unavailable.

It should still be detectable in RCM mode by Tegra, but pursuing this issue is useless now. Hold the power Switch for 20 secs to turn off the Switch and reboot normally.
