Hacking Question Patched Switch

[Link1988]

So I bought a Switch 4 days ago and now I'm trying to get homebrew running. I'm I right that I have to wait for a new exploit when using a patched Switch?

Stop linking that very old guide that never gets updated.

Seems old, yes.

So back to my question. If I'm right I can't hack my Switch with homebrew because I got a newer device, can I?

The new model (after June 2018 if I am not mistaken) has the vulnerability patched and the GPU exploit will not work on these devices.

I am not sure if there is a method for new devices yet but I think there is none.

I followed the guide based on the discord support for it and it worked for me little over a month ago.

Yes, you are correct.
If your switch is patched and on >4.1 you won't be able to run cfw at all if and when the private exploit gets released.

If your switch is patched and >6.0.0 you won't be able to run homebrew when browserhax gets released.

It is still very old and because of that, inaccurate. Where is the mention of different cfw, or that consoles >3.0.0 are hackable?

Things have changed even in the last month.

So are there any details when and if I'm able to hack with newer firmware and newer devices? I'd really like to run games on it.

You will not be able to mod patched consoles anytime soon. There is no ETA. Return the system and buy one within the valid serial range.

Best way to tell (other than tossing it into RCM and trying to launch a payload) is to check your serial number (dont post your serial number here for all to see)

There are no details on if, let alone when it will happen. Only TX have said that they are trying.

 

[Link1988]

Well I didn't check the full serial number. I'll give it a try.

Is it that hard to crack the newer devices?

No idea when it will be crack, best if you get go find an unpatched one.

I don't know how to be more clear.

There is no public method to mod the patched Switches. Some people have a method, but it is being held for hopes that the Switch Pro (or whatever Mariko winds up being) ships with the same flaws seen on 'patched' Switches.

Return your system and buy one that is within the valid serial range. That is your only option if you want to run hax stuff anytime soon.

Honestly by the time an exploit is released for patched units, you can easily find several unpatched units in the same amount of time. And since the exploits not going to grant instant CFW (its just going to be homebrew), you're just going to be more disappointed you held onto a patched console. Exhaust your resources and look everywhere for an unpatched unit whether it be Amazon, eBay, your local GameStop, or even this forum's Trading Section; unpatched units still exist, you just have to look for them.

Btw what's the difference between homebrew and cfw?

Userland homebrew only allow you to do like save backup, run emulator, while CFW allows you to do like NAND Backup, game backup.

Can't tell you where to get games but here's a guide to install cfw https://guide.sdsetup.com/#/

Any new mods for patched switches?
