Hi i recently purchased a Nintendo Switch (this month to be exact) and i wanted to install Homebrew on it and it seems every time i try to upload the payload it doesn't show the menu where i can backup files ect. to upload it i used a webtool and tegraRCMSmash both programs see that the switch is in fact in RCM mode but regardless of it id doesn't show the menu and i have no idea why.

--List of What i tried--
1.Swapping USB-C cable
2.Paper Clip method of entering RCM
3.Followed instructions from several sources

--Additional Information--
1.Nintendo Switch Firmware: 5.1.0
2.Using 256GB SD Card
2.Windows 7 OS 64-Bit

If there isn't a version of Homebrew supporting the switch i purchased or there is a way fixing i would like to know, Thank you. -Xecuter04

You have a realy nice name.
To help you I need to know which payload you are using. Have you tried sxos? Its the best and userfriendly cfw and the only one with emunand and xci loading.

Sounds like you got an ipatched Switch. There are currently no exploits publicly available. We can let you know if you're lucky (or not). What's the first 8 characters of SN#

But you can keep your switch
Team xecuter will rock the Switch Scene again
True. Team xecuter will steal from the open source scene again.
Stop the bullsh!t propaganda, please.

(Also, SX users, don't get triggered. It is just a bullsh!t response to a bullsh!t argument.)

TheTheTony posted it seems i have a patched system. -Xecuter04

You might be waiting for a long time. The firmware version is not what was exploited, it was recovery mode that was, allowing for payloads to be pushed.
