I had a similar question a few days ago, might be some useful info for you there.

Thanks! I would have returned it and bought used if it wasn't going to work. Just waiting for my SX pro to ship.

Your serial number is most likely part of the patched units so its actually highly possible it won't work. Anything with XAW1008 has been reported as both patched and unpatched due to overlap.

If you have a chance, test it by following this: https://gbatemp.net/threads/a-defin...atched-or-not-purchases-after-07-2018.512018/

try some free payload before you buy because it might be patched

exactly what i was looking for. Thanks everyone for the replies. I guess i have some testing to do.

Just double checking... Units with xaw1008 = likely patched, but xaw1007 likely not patched?

To put it roughly, yes but we don't know exactly where the overlap started. The point is the closer you are to the patched serials, the more likely you are that your unit is patched. Add onto that we don't know when patched units actually started being produced and distributed and it makes the process even more complex.

Guess I need to confirm that my unit is vulnerable before my dingle ships. Even doing just that puts me at a ban rock doesn't it?

Nope. Just running a simple Fusee Gelee payload that doesn't go into the Switch menu will not result in ban.
Run that with peace of mind.

Sweet! Going to do this asap when I get home. Is this the thread where I should report my findings?

Sorry to hear that. :/ I tested mine earlier and it is not patched. Hopefully that helps others moving forward. Maybe you can find a used one?

I just bought a new switch and it came with 4.10 and serial is XAW40009xxxx. Not sure if this is a patched unit. I haven't seen people discuss patched units with that type of serial, but I have to wait another 2 to 3 weeks before I get my SX Pro. I do have an original switch that is on 5.1 and was thinking that I might transfer my nintendo profile to the new switch and use my older one when the SX Pro comes.

Any advice for what I should do?

Test if its patched by following this tutorial: https://gbatemp.net/threads/a-defin...atched-or-not-purchases-after-07-2018.512018/

I followed the guide, it's fairly straightforward. Getting the paperclip just right was slightly challenging because putting it in the rail causes enough change in shape to move then contacts, but really not a big deal.
