Hacking Confused about turning off Switch after jailbreaking

[K1ngC001]

So I just modded my Switch with a tutorial I found on Youtube and I'm a little confused on what happens if I turn it off. If I understand correctly on what the video says, if I restart or fully turn off the Switch, it won't boot the payload and boot into normal Switch firmware right? Is there anyway to get it to always boot into the cfw or no do I always have to use the rcm jig when turning it back on.
Thanks in advance.

yes that is true: for booting the payload you have to have the jig and press the button combo.

but
there is a way, which i don't use, and the keyword is autorcm
but i think there are some risks.
someone else will surely elaborate.
or use google

I’ve been using sleep mode perpetually since the first exploit

Is that 6 years now?

Only turned off and on again with a jig to update the exploits.

With autorcm you only need to use your payload injector (computer, phone, dongle). You don't need the jig.

If you want to boot directly without needing the jig and the payload injector you have to install a mod chip.

AutoRCM and leaving it in sleep mode has worked perfectly for me. If you need sysMMC to say play your purchased online multiplayer games just use reboot to payload and then boot stock. You'll need to use a loader to boot back to emuMMC, but not a jig. Also, when using AutoRCM & when finished using your Switch, make sure it's either actually shut down or in sleep mode... and not in the blank screen RCM mode. It will drain your battery and you'll have to jump through some hoops to get it charged again.

There are generally 3 things that might happen after you turn off a console:
- Either AutoRCM is off, and turning it on will result in a boot of stock sysMMC. If you want to turn on CFW or use emuMMC, you will need to insert a jig, use the button combo and use a payload injector (PC, mobile device or a special injector).
- Or AutoRCM is on, and turning it on will result in a black screen - which means that you can't use the console if you turn it off without a payload injector. But no jig is needed.
- Or you have a modchip installed, and turning it on will coldboot a payload (most likely Hekate). This is the most convenient method as it requires no additional equipment to boot, but you are going to need soldering skills and relevant tools to be able to use this method.

I also want to ask... Is it safe to charger Oled Switch while turning it off mode on the dock all day?

Yes.

Yes.

whats the button combo for autorcm being off?

It corrupts the Boot1 and Boot2 partition. So the Switch will believe its bricked. A firmware update in stock fw fixes it(or simply just disabling autorcm). Anyway the main downside with autorcm is if your switch dies it'll charge very slowly. If you google around a bit you'll find many horror stories of people being unable to get their switch to power on.

Hold the volume up button and then press the power button(with the jig injected).

Eh, it's just a matter of leaving it in for a bit, then just booting into Hekate quickly and it'll charge normally, leave it there for a while and you're golden
