Hacking Switch 3.0.1 - Update with "1,2 Switch" !

[Snyrf]

Hello,

I have a console in 3.0.1 and I recently bought "1.2 Switch" but it asks me to update the console.

Do you know which firmware the game will install ?

I just bought the console two weeks ago and I'm afraid to install a firmware > 4.1.0

Can you reassure me ?

Thank you

Buy used games with serial on the back ending with 000.

Just update, unfortunately it seems like all firmware versions are exploitable.

Unfortunately? That's good, not bad..

All firmware versions will be exploited however on newer firms it may not be as easy to do. The exploit must be installed via another exploit chain or a hardware modification so keep in mind that a software based install could work on the newest firmware when they release but an update would easily fix/disable that.

Chances are it has 4.1 or lower on the cartridge so you should be fine as 3.0.1-4.1 have the same level of hackability.

 

[Snyrf]

Yes, I think it's not possible that is the 5.0 because the update is too recent.

Thank you for your answers

Do not update!

Anything over 3.0 (or 3.0.2) will require a hardmod when fusee-gelee releases

It is not true.

I'll just drop this here before confusion sets in.

short summary for pre-Mariko units:
1.0.0: has a nice non-coldboot solution, and is the most likely to get a Holy Grail CFW-launching exploit in the future
<3.0.1: has enough power to avoid a hardmod immediately, even if you'll probably want to just do the hardmod 'cuz the hardmod's so easy
<=4.1.0: will eventually see a hardmod-less solution, but will need that 'minor hardmod' at launch
>4.1.0: that 'minor hardmod' is required; though we may find a solution to avoid this in the future

I guess even without a hard mode you should open your switch anyway, clean it and put proper thermal paste in it.

I'm going to order new shells and a new battery once my current battery craps out, and add the paste then, while I have it open.

The < sign means "less than" and doesn't include the thing on the right.

<= means less than or equal and includes the thing on the right as well as everything less than it.

< 3.0.1 means only things less than 3.0.1, does not include 3.0.1 itself. So that would be everything 3.0.0 and less.

My mistake, stoner moment.
