It worked!
Did it with the rcm smash gui and it was fine.
My serial is XAW100827
Thx for your big work on the serials number
Huh, how do you want to return it if you already opened the box? The german mediamarkt store doesn't accept opened box (except online store). Or did you really return it :o (would be interesting if it changed)Hi Guys,

Sadly i looked up my Console and find out that the unit is patched, so i have to return it.

/edit
For your Information, the testing method via TegraRcmSmash.exe showed the "Smashed the stack with a 0x0000 byte SETUP request!" error code.. not at blank (black) screen or something else
36 million really isn't too much. If you buy a switch with the highest serial available, you can also buy switchs with a lower serial. So every not selled but produced has to be counted. And a huge stock is to be expectedNerd that I am, I'm trying to understand these serial numbers. I copied the highest that I could find in the sheet... partially by picking the highest serial and partially by picking the highest serial w/ the highest firmware (I suspect some people have made mistakes while entering their serial).
I sorted the list by serial number first and then made by best guess. Please correct me if I made a mistake!

If we just assume all the ending number are sequential, then there would be 163M switches produced. But Nintendo has announced they've sold only 20M as of July. So that can't be right. Allright... well, if we assume the sequential numbering is in order, then we either chop off the first or last digit. If it's the last digit, then we only get to 16M switches... but more have been produced than have been sold (altho the guy at Best Buy said they were selling a ton). So I'd expect the number adding them all together to above 20M, not below.
If we chop off the left number, then we get 36M. That is high, for sure, but not completely mind blowing.
Another possibility is that they don't completely fill up the 10M before incrementing the leading number. If that were the case, I would expect to see stair steps in the graph... but I must admit, after graphing the XAW1 series (b/c it had so many examples), I'm really not sure if what I'm looking at is noise or what. :-P Thoughts?
