Hacking Question Nintendo switch softmod

[ZanderX420]

for clarification purposes and peace of mind will there eventually be a softmod way to get cfw and homebrew launcher? really not at all excited about having to buy a paper clip and going into rcm mode just to get to homebrew. heres to hoping that theres plans on a softmod tutorial in the future. please feel free to post a reply and a like.

Isn't Fusé Gelée 3.0.0 and below at launch with Atmospheré supposed to be a software mod

To my understanding of the scene currently. If the switch is on 1.0.0 then it is possible to do a software mod, other than that you need to have a hardware mod.

afaik, only 1.0.0 firmware has ability to enter rcm mode thru software via a pmc register setting
check stuck_pixels repo

All other firmwares require tripping the hidden home button method

As of now, I've read a mix of only 1.0, up to 3.0, and even up to 4.X.

To my understanding atmosphere is basing it's execution on Fusee Gelee which requires a PC or Android phone to use.

We may see a way to softmod and even cold boot on higher firmware down the line. But that will be a while.

1.0.0 to 4.1.0 will get it soon.

All Rev1 switches will get it eventually.

Eh, as long as there's a 3.0.0 softmod that doesn't require a PC or Android then I'll be fine

In time... I have no doubt we'll get it.

1.0 should get a softmod immediately, I don't remember with 3.0, and 4.1 will eventually get a softmod (but you'll be waiting a while).

The correct answer:

1.0.0 will get softmod through Jamais Vu (public)

3.0.0 will get softmod with Pegasus (public) and Deja Vu (private)

3.0.0-4.1.0: Deja Vu (private)

-----

5.x ---> : Fusee Gelee (Hardmod)

Deja Vu will be released eventually, but there is no timeframe for it, we do not know of any softmods for 5.x--->

Pegasus is what we currently use for HBL on 3.0.0

Fusee Gelee will work on all FW on console running the T210, future T214 (Mariko) units will need a new exploit.

Are there any advantages to Pegasus on a 3.0 system over 4.1? Are the softmods cold boot?

im on fw 4.1.0 rip heres to playing the waiting game. lol for softmod solution

Pegasus is not coldboot afaik, Jamais Vu and Deja Vu allow for coldboot and thus CFW, but it requires Pegaswitch.

Honestly, I don't think that clarifies as a "hardmod". An actual hardmod IMO is when you need to open up the hardware or make some other dangerous modification that could end up frying the device (i.e. soldering).
