Paperclip Jig not working after 177373 tries

If you do manage to get it to book with a paperclip, turn on Auto RCM until the jig arrives.

use AutoRCM

 

From the photo, it feels like it should work. I've done mine like this. Is the paper clip on the right side of the switch?

 

In my case where mine didn't boot to rcm was because it didn't sit well on the contacts. I carefully readjust the paperclip to sit better. Try to add some leverage to the paperclip in case it doesn't have full contact.

 

if it has some coating or paint, you can just scrap it a bit in a place of contact with rail pins

 

No matter what I tried, I could not enter RCM with a paperclip, so I used a piece of tinfoil instead. It worked like a charm, but you need to cut it to a very small piece and be very careful. It is way less harmful than a paperclip. After that I ordered a jig, and now I do not have to worry about such a thing.

 

I would get a real rcm jig as homemade paperclip type jig u could bend the pins in the actual rail.

i would enable HOS Auto power off and Auto RCM in hekate so u don't need a jig

 

I couldn't get paperclip working and used foil as well. I used it for a few days till my RCMLoader dongle arrived, it comes with a jig. I'd recommend it, it's super convenient!

 

It's called the RCMloader OneB, it lets you load multiple payloads and has a jig in a slot on the back.

One linked in my previous post actually seems to be a knockoff and I guess in a way they're all probably knockoffs, but here's the one I have: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Switch-Loa...913651?hash=item42176dcdf3:g:saYAAOSwgnBep0K6

 

This worries me as I had purchased a few jigs, the first couple had a bit of resistance when I would slide them over my joycon rails. What does a damage joy con rail look like?
