Please help I can't get my switch to go in RCM mode

[ImTheKodiak]

I've tried 2 different jigs and still can't get my switch to go into RCM. I have my switch turned off all the way and have my jig in the rail. I hold the + button and then press the power button and then release both buttons. The switch stays off but TergraRmc doesn't detect that the switch is in RCM mode and I can't inject the payload. I even tried different usbs to see if that was the problem but unfortunately it was not.

I've also tried both the tinfoil and paper clip methods and I couldn't get either of them to work. Does anyone know why this might be happening and any solutions or alternatives to this? It would be greatly appreciated.

Power off the Switch and short the pins on the right Joy-Con rail. While holding the Volume Up button, press the Power button once while holding Volume Up.​

I would remove the emmc modul and test with TegraRCM, if the Switch is accepting payloads.
Maybe the Switch is patched?

Did it work previously or have you never been able to enter RCM with this Switch?
If it never worked the Switch might be patched
If i has worked before it might be your computer. Have you installed the driver from TegraExplorer?

Yeah, as was mentioned above, it's not the + button, it's the "Volume +" button. But in theory, you shouldn't have access to the + button, since the right joy-con should be disconnected while you have the jig inserted.

Have you installed the APX drivers via TegraRCM?

Patched switches can enter RCM, but you cannot inject payloads.
