Hacking New Softmod exploit for Switch OLED

[TheBasedOne]

I'm a new user, hi, hello. I bought an OLED Switch and I would rather not want to mess with modchips and soldering and whatnot. When can we realistically expect a software exploit for this? Why is there still nothing, when the 3DS was already hacked wide open a few years after launch?

What a misleading topic.

And the answer to your question that you phrased like it was a fact is no, there is not. Your only options are modchip or sell that one and get a V1 Switch (or just buy one and have both)

I already have a hacked V1 Switch but I want to play on the OLED instead. Bigger screen, OLED, better speakers, better battery life. Just need to know how long I might have to wait for this.

There is no software mod for oled.

I am well aware of this. But there should be, just look what is possible on the 3DS.

Currently if you want CFW on an OLED you need a modchip.

Currently if you want CFW on an OLED you need a modchip. There is no software exploit for Mariko above 7.1.0

I refuse though so I'm waiting for a new software exploit. I just need to know when that could happen.

Well no ETA.

Forever. Literally. The entire Switch OS has been decompiled and assessed by NSA-level bugchecking. There are absolutely zero exploitable holes in the Switch OS. The main reason for this is twofold:
Firstly, the Switch OS is quite literally a microkernel, running entirely with a few megabytes of low-level code. General rule of thumb is, the smaller the OS, the harder it is to hack.
Secondly, the only easy 'softmod' for the Switch is only possible because NVIDIA made a mistake and enabled debug commands on the GPU post-manufacturing. The GPU is run second only to the boot code, before the hypervisor. Speaking of the hypervisor, the XBOX 360 also uses a hypervisor to protect the OS, and you can see how near-impossible it is to mod one with any dashboard released after a certain date (none of these methods are softmods, and most of them require soldering). The Switch just improves on M$'s OS in literally every way, most notably by being only 7% the size of the latest XBOX 360 dashboard.

tl;dr

There is not, nor will there ever likely be, a softmod for Nintendo Switch consoles outside the 'V1 bug'. Period.

But there should be

Be the change you want to see.

just look what is possible on the 3DS.

You mean that console which has as many holes as there are in Swiss cheese? We have full kernel reimplemented, go ahead and find an exploit that even the author himself couldn't find when writing it. Without even one forget that exploit in any other part of system will do anything to allow running CFW.

I got bamboozled!

Because the Switch is not a 3DS.

For all we know it could take anywhere from the next 5 minutes to so far into the future that your great-grandchildren will no longer be around to enjoy it.

Just buy an OLED TV and connect it to that.

There has been efforts for years at this point and whilst there have been things found to execute code there hasnt been a thing that can actually compromise kernel since I believe firmware 3.0? With the current build of the Switch's OS there is literally nothing at all as it has been searched very thoroughly. The only chance of a softmod would be from Nintendo messing up in a software update.

Locking thread since this have been asked so many times, there is no use to ask for it.

Also please use "?" at the end in your title next time if you ask a question.
