Only XAW1008 units have been confirmed to be patched while XAW1007 and below so far are not meaning XAW1005 is most likely not patched. But if you want a more definitive answer, try following the first few steps of this tutorial: https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-hacking-101-how-to-launch-the-homebrew-menu-on-all-fw.504012/

Hi guys,
bought a switch recently and i was wondering if it's a patch one or not.
Where does is it supposed to stop when trying the fusée gelée exploit on a patched switch?
I tried it and i think it's in RCM (like i boot it and the nintendo logo didn't appear, my computer does the ubs sound), i used zadig and it found the apx and installed the libusbK driver. Then the tegrasmash open when i tried to launch it with a payload, wrote some stuff and exit (can't see what it is) and nothing.
Is it that my switch is patched ? Or is it something else (like succefully find the apx on zadig says it's an unpatched switch) ?
thx

What is your serial number and what payload were you trying to run? To check if its patched, see below:
I should check what serials my local shops will have when they restock. We've had a period of no Switches for over a week now, and usually they get restocked more frequently than this if they sell from quick glances I've made when picking up new releases.
Maybe this is why.
Maybe this is why.
If you get the same output as in the attachment.
It means you got a patched unit.
But if you got a QR code on your switch. It means that you got an unpatch unit.

Serial: XAW100861XXXXX
Serial on device matches serial on box: Yes
Region: USA
Firmware: 4.1.0
Color option: Neon
Store: Fry's
Was a bundle (if yes, which): No
Purchase date: July 12
Fusée Gelée works: Nope.
After booting into RCM, I tried using TegraRCMSmash.exe with biskeydump.bin and got the "Smashed the stack with 0x0000 byte SETUP request!" line, but it was followed by "Win32 error 31 during post-smash read op" in the next line. When I tried using TegraRCMSMash GUI to inject Hekate payload, it said payload was injected but my Switch screen remained black. Does this mean it was patched or is there something I did incorrectly?
Edit: Okay went through past posts and I guess the 0x0000 readout (vs 0x7000) means it's patched. Fits current model for XAW1s.

Its simple i used nxloader for my android phone with payload and usb c cable and brought my jig and my pre-formated micro sd fat32 (cause all switches at 4.1.0 and cant read extfat) with boot dat file from sx os inside. If u have sx os pro dongle even better.
I noticed u have an iphone so maybe u can read up on nxboot

Please post the numbers after XAW70018 (the asterisk ones, should be like 2 more numbers at least). Some users have reported unpatched units with XAW70018.
