"Serials beginning with XAW1:

XAW10079XXX and above not safe to buy, possibly patched
XAW1010XXX and above definitely patched"

You should be good to go just be safe always make a clean nand/ boot files backup with hekate first thing before doing anything else when modding a switch

You don't need but most people just buy SXOS pro because they are good for the community. They just released USB driver for the community for free.

You don't need the dongle unless you want sxos's emunand or the xci loading (from usb too). Reinx or atmosphere are great ideas. You can order an rcm jig online off amazon but you could use a paperclip if you're really desperate and enable autorcm afterwards https://gbatemp.net/threads/paperclip-rcm-jig.502087/

You also need a usb type c cable to push your payload from an android phone or a computer

They open source it during Halloween. Please support SXpro for the betterment of the community.

You can use the one that match better for you, so that means you should learn a bit of each one of them to decide, here in Gbatemp there are a lot info about all of them also there are many channel in YouTube like mine showing how to do it and what it the benefits and diference between them.

ok nvm I went to that page and found it
It says
"XAW40012XXX and above not not safe, possibly patched" but mine is not patched. so this list is not 100 percent accurate and only way to tell is just trying it out.
