Check your Switch model number to be sure.
The model numbers look like : HAC-001

You also need to put some files on the SD card.
Only injecting a payload isn't enough to start the CFW.

From the response there it is looking like a patched unit. But I would verify the serial number of the console to make sure.

0x0000 mean it is patched.

Your switch is patched you will need to mod chip it in order to hack it. It is possible for you though with your firmware and a mod chip.

Hey, I have the same firmware and I went to the serial number patched website and it says my switch is patched, but I purchased a modchip, is there any guides you could refer me to in order for me to use the mod chip before and after I've installed it?

Here is a guide on how to use it before you have installed it.

1. Open package
2. Install

There are lots of resources out there. But also, I would recommend doing the research and having some soldering experience before even buying a chip. Good luck
