Hacking Question Do we have a cold boot method yet?

[Shah Isah]

As the title says. As CFW is released. Do we have any form of coldboot yet? Not a modchip but a way to boot CFW from boot without the need to always plug in the switch to a pc and load a payload. Just like how a 3ds has ctrlboot manager where a button combination gives us a way to load the payload?

Not to be a jerk, but if there were a coldboot method, you would see it everywhere. Closest thing we have is a warm warmboot method for 4.1 and lower firmware.

The closest thing to cold-boot right now is using a modchip along with autoboot/autorcm on an unpatched unit.

 

[reminon]

^^^ Or that, that Hayato mentioned.

Yes there's CBNC (aka Coldboot NOTchi)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

But seriously just use sleep and/or get a RCM Loader. It's pretty much problem solved.

No, it's outrageous. How dare they sleep until they release a coldboot.

 

[Shah Isah]

Doesn't atmosphere or Hekate have autoboot? Before the release. There were rumours. I had a switch before I sold it and now I have a another one. And now I have many questions now that CFW is a reality.

If you're already told by multiple people no then the answers no. But like I said, you can use sleep and if you are taking your switch out of the house a lot get a charger and an rcm loader that can load the payloads for you.

There will probably never be true cold boot. It's either RCM or warmboot.

Mm an RCM loader. That's interesting. So. Say I reboot my switch and it's in RCM mode. This will do the same job as pc? As in load the payload straight? But first I gotta configure it right?

 

[EmulateLife]

Yes, I don't have one yet but you just put it in your pc and add the payload(s) of your choice to it and it can load them on the go. They're like $10 in USA on Ebay, so check your country.

You're a genius. That's exactly what I wanted. A pocket payload loader. Because everytime I reboot. It's back to square one. I guess that's the closest I'll get to what I desire. Thanks, that's that sorted.

Team modchip tbh.

Team modchip tbh.

Also true, there's a modchip option for coldboot. But it's not as cheap as using a RCM Loader.

 

[Draxzelex]

Have to be that guy but we have had coldboot for over a year now.

 

[EmulateLife]

Yeah this thread needs clarification.

Is there a free coldboot option? Nope
Is a coldboot option you could buy? (modchip) yep

Atmosphere reboots to a payload now if the system crashes or you just reboot. If you fully shut down or the battery dies then you need a payload sender. Mine hasn't been turned off in months. And I never let it get below 20%

Yes, dongles are the way to go. Haven't launched a payload from my PC in over a year.

 

[Kafluke]

I love my trinket modchip. Turn it on and bam! I'm in CFW. It's cheap too!

Exactly!
