Hacking Still on 3.0.1, should i update or wait?

[Naxster]

Hello guys!

I believe i bought my Nintendo Switch 5-7 months ago (not sure), but i haven't used it once.
The only time i booted it up, was to check which firmware it was on (3.0.1).

I do know that SX Pro is out and is working great for many! I'm really glad to hear that.
I'm actually considering to order one, just to support the SX team behind that hack.

BUT my main concern is that if i update my Nintendo Switch to the latest version (5.1.0), i might lose the ability to boot the CFW without any jig in the future....

I'm not in a hurry to hack it etc etc.
So do you think i should update my Switch or just wait for Atmosphere and hoping that they might have a solution without having to use the JIG everytime?

If you want untethered coldboot you should wait it out but the con is you miss out on playing newer games now, the choice is yours. Personally I'd wait.

Why the hell buy a 300 pound console and not use it for 7 months?!

If you don't mind using a jig and/or AutoRCM forever to boot into RCM and run payloads, then there's no reason not to update.

If you want to upgrade while retaining the ability to downgrade back to 3.0.1 for future non-RCM exploits, then you can follow this guide to update without burning your efuses. However, it requires that you install AutoRCM to keep from accidentally burning your efuses.

It should also be noted that the SX OS doesn't offer much anymore. Unless you want the SX dongle, there are free alternatives to almost everything SX OS offers.

I bought my Switch last October, and I probably didn't start using it until May or June.

just to support the SX team behind that hack.

They literally didn't do anything besides develop a backup loader, in fact they stole quite a bit of code from ReSwitched, and the entrypoint was also not found by them.

They were the first to develop signature patches, and I believe ReiNX's free signature patches that we're all using were at least partially inspired by those found in SX OS. That's it.

personally, I updated to the latest firmware. I don't really plan on hacking my system...at least for a while. I figure that if I want a hackable system I can just buy another one. it's so easy to swap systems now that there are no cords that it wouldn't be an issue. I think as long as you've bought a system since before this month, which you obviously have, you're safe.

Before this thread devolves into a debate on whether they stole code or not, first read this thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/gpl-101-atmosphere-and-sx-os.511312/ Then post your thoughts there and not here.

It's not really about that though although you're probably right. It's also true.

Isn't the backup loader only thing they are selling? You can install SX OS for free to use homebrew.

For homebrew yeah but if you want to use it's backup loading functions, you know, the thing they advertise THE MOST, you need to buy a license

There is no such thing.

Man I have waited like you for months and I had an even better 2.3 console but I had enough waiting so the other day I have updated! And now I'm finally enjoying my console and everything works fine!
Yeah maybe I have lost the coldboot feature but is it really so important? As long as you don't power off the console, coldboot is not needed and still there's is auto rcm that consent you to power on the console and SX very easily with a smartphone.

So you decide if a possibile coldboot is more important than starting enjoying the console months earlier.

There is no coldboot. Those vaporhax like dejavu are warmboot. You need a modchip for "coldboot".

They actually found the entry point independently.

Buy a cartridge and use the bundled firmware to update to 4.1.0.
