Hacking PSA about IPATCHed Switches and supernag.

[Lacius]

I was that reddit user, Connor on the RS discord later prove that Scires' hypothesis was, unfortunately, incorrect.

It has, however, been confirmed that, if your switch hasnt connected since 7.0.1 was the most recent update, you can cart update to 7.0.1 and it will denag. *THIS IS THE ONLY KNOWN METHOD FOR DENAGGING A SWITCH WITHOUT UPDATING TO 8.1.0. ALL OTHER METHODS HAVE BEEN TESTED AND THEY ALL FAILED.*

That and restoring a NAND backup using a hardware mod.

 

[isoboy]

Gotta do that DENAG.

 

[Dysproh]

So wait I can cart update to 5.x (mine wasn't online after anything newer was out) and remove nag then I just need to wait for the updated exploit?

Yes, that should work. If I remember correctly, a 000 Smash Ultimate should do it.

damnit Nintendos AP team is persistent this time

I look forward to the years when this thing is blown wide open

Curious, if anyone is looking into how to solve supernag for iPatched devices?

You would either need another exploit which could bypass the supernag entirely as its not dependent on the Internet or a hardmod which would require opening up the console.

I dont know if its working on ipatched consoles, but you can test it if you have access to the homebrew channel. Its a Homebrew from Adubbz called Gag-Order

It works but you cannot load that homebrew without CFW and patched users cannot load CFW because of the supernag.

See Draxzelex's post above for why Gag Order doesn't help people with ipatched systems experiencing the supernag.

The only way to get rid of the supernag on ipatched systems is to restore an old NAND backup from before the supernag using a hardmod.

I fully understand this.
Just thinking, if there is a possibility to fake a server response to trick the system?

Its not a server side flag, it is a flag stored in the console.

Sure but what is the mechanism to unset this? I believe they are saying spoof a nintendo server to unset the supernag. Doubt that will help of course.

Indeed. I have an iPatched device on 4.1 and unfortunately with supernag probably due to lack of enough knowledge when I had it last year. And if there is no hope of solving supernag, I would not wait anymore.

I am in the same boat. I am still waiting for official word from anyone out there that supernag cannot be defeated via a cart update. Once that is known then I will probably sell this switch and buy one that can do RCM. THey are not all that hard to find, contrary to what everyone says.

No one is saying that. As the user Lacius mentioned above, an ipatched unit can only remove the supernag with a NAND backup performed via a hardmod. It is a flag stored in the console's internal data that cannot be modified without some sort of exploit on the console.

Wait... what? IPATCHed Switches are hackable under certain conditions?

Deja Vu has been released for firmware versions 4.1 and below so if an ipatched unit is running one of those firmware versions, you can hack it. This was released over a month ago.

It just needs to be updated.
