Homebrew Switch 3.0.1 update to 5.0.2

[tedeu]

Hi,
I want to jailbreak my switch.
It's currently at version 3.0.1 and want to update to 5.0.2.
Is there any way to do this via DNS changing settings? Or downloading something and put it on the SD card ?

Thank you!

You can only update to 5.1.0, though *if* you had a NAND backup from 5.0.2, you could downgrade.

I don't...
Can i still run homebrew on 5.1.0 ?

Of course you can. Update before Nintendo releases a newer update that blocks homebrew.

Or, just stay on 3.0.1. Ask someone else though, IDK much about 3.0.1.

Does tegra rcm say "rcm detected" when the switch is plugged in?

I think its better to use TegraRCMSmash over TegraRCMGUI as I've noticed a lot of errors with it. That being said, this guide is more up-to-date and has methods of loading stuff if you're having trouble with a Windows PC: https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-1-x-5-x-how-to-run-homebrew-on-your-nintendo-switch.506529/

I’m on 3.0 also and wanting to update, just waiting on my jig.
Any point on staying on 3.0?

3.0 will see a warmboot softmod somewhere around the time Atmosphere is released. If you don't mind having to use a jig and a cable for the rest of the Switch's life or keeping the console in sleep mode 24/7, then you can update.

Update before Nintendo releases a newer update that blocks homebrew.

Can they even? I thought only a hardware revision could do that, and all existing systems were safe(ish).

Well Nintendo cannot patch out the exploit that gets us to load homebrew, but they can patch out how homebrew itself is loaded, if you understand what that means.

 

[Juggalo Debo]

pretty much we'll be doing the cat and mouse around the homebrew patches instead of exploit patches.

update away once you get your sx os.
it'll be worth it, i got tired of waiting.

and i looked up sx os and rly liked what it does and how it does it, its quite simple once you set autorcm you wont need any jigs no more.

you can easily boot into txs cfw by using your android/pc simply connecting with a usb and sending the payload and you will only need to send the payload when you power the switch off completely.

cfw sticks in sleep mode so its sweet, i have my switch in sleep mode all the time.
i like the interface of the 'backup' loader , it works fast and its smooth and all the games i had tried work just fine.

and well, i have my switch in airplane mode the downside to all this hacking is obviously getting banned, i have updated also because the new smash is looking hella fun , so im hoping until then we will have some sort of legit safe way to go online and play our purchased games online.

Updated last night, it feels great to be able to use my switch again! And yeah with all the new games coming out I didn’t want to get stuck on a lower FW. I don’t see myself ever restarting the switch unless it freezes.
