Serial on device matches serial on box: ??? What does this mean?
Serial: XAW10083XXX
Region: USA
Firmware: 4.1
Color option: NEON
Store: ANTONLINE (via google express)
Was a bundle (if yes, which): NO
Purchase date: 11/1/2018
Fusée Gelée works: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Wow! You are lucky!! I did the same and I got a patched unit XAW10083XX
Now I'm debating whether to keep it and hope it gets hacked in future or try to sell it

oh no! that sucks. i did a little dance when it worked. i would sell it and try for a used one. Maybe sell the tablet and buy a hackable tablet on ebay during a sitewide sale.

Good for you :grog:



exFat is a must, I guess, since you want to give him/them the ability to play games from SD (at least for the install).
As for the update with choidujour... Yes, 5.1.0 should enable them to play way more games. AutoRCM will also protect them from starting OFW and sending telemetry to Nintendo.
I personaly don't see a reason to go for SXOS as you get all games as NSP's and XCI's don't offer any advantages there, but thats a just me.
Just make sure to make a NAND backup, so they/you can restore it if anything goes wrong.
If possible, tell them to say offline to make extra sure they don't mess something up :D

im going sx because 1) i have two pros already and i like and am comfortable with it, 2) the dongle makes it so easy to boot after a crash esp with autorcm and 3) hes more likely to evade a ban with xcis. I will let him decide if he wants to install nsps or use homebrew and risk a ban. sx's virtual nand may also be a good option so he can keep a clean sysnand at 4.1, assuming it works well. i dont know the concensus on that.

I plan to type up a tutorial for him and include it in the gift box so he knows everything, including info about online, nsps, homebrew, updating, getting new content, dangers, etc.

I discovered the serial number XAJ70000525069. This has four zeros. (Obviously) I do not know if the serial number is safe or patched. Could someone kindly answer that?
P.S. I would not ask if I found an answer in the first post, so if you link me to it, I know just as little as before.

I think its not patched. The stock FW should be 1.0. XAJ70042X and below are safe to buy. XAJ700002 - XAJ700065=1.0

No risk of a ban at all for now, since it's a patched unit and you can't hack it. Feel free to do whatever you want with it. (I would return it, personally, and try to get an unpatched Switch)

That's what I was curious about, if I buy just the tablet of a hackable switch the joycons would work? Antonline doesn't have a friendly return policy so either I try selling it on ebay (at a loss because of shipping and ebay's fees) OR as you suggested buy just the tablet if it's indeed possible.

So I did read the first page.
"
XAW10078XXX and below are safe to buy
XAW10079XXX and above not safe to buy, possibly patched
XAW1010XXX and above definitely patched
"
Do I imprete this as XAW100781XX is safe, or anything below 78 is safe? i.e. XAW10037 is ok?

Thank you! I am almost finished backup and going to install CFW soon!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

XAW40006593397

I didnt see a listing for XAW4000XXXXXX switches in OP, are these safe to buy and CFW?
I would say its probably safe since XAW4000 is lower than XAW4001....But I can , without a doubt be wrong.

I ordered a switch with the serial number XAJ10020xxxx
Is this safe or patched?
On the first page only states that anything higher than XAJ10031XX is not sure. Mine, however, is underneath and there is nothing there.

Don’t know, there is little information about the XAJ1 line. I’d give it a 60% chance to be unpatched. This is speculation, of course.
Why didn't you buy the first one you posted here? That would have been 100% unpatched and had FW 1.0.0, so added bonus when cold booting is released.
