can anyone tell me if the switch with the serial XAJ400588197xx is patched or not?

thank you
Your switch is on possibly patched so the only way to know safe is doing the biskeydump tutorial like I did in my possibly patched too lol I got lucky so hopefully you see that 0x7000 as well... Good luck

A quick suggestion

On the first post.
It seems that people does not know how number comparison works :)
So rather than posting the information as:
Serials beginning with XAW1:
XAW1007400X and below are safe to buy
XAW1007500X and above not safe to buy, possibly patched
XAW1012000X and above definitely patched

How about we put it more specific as the following:
Serials beginning with XAW1:
XAW10000000000 to XAW10074999999 are safe to buy
XAW10007500000 to XAW10119999999 are not safe to buy, possibly patched
XAW10120000000 to XAW19999999999 are definitely patched

What do you think ?

It essentially says the same thing, but if it's less confusing to the noobs trying to figure out if they have a patched console, why not? But remember that there is no absolute numbers. The closer a serial is to the edge before changing categories (safe to not safe), the murkier it gets. To be really safe, the serial must not be too close to the unsafe zone.

It’s a good idea, I think. I will have a look tomorrow how this looks in the OP and if it is in fact easier to read.

Sending it back depends of your sellers return policy and how your seller inspects returns.

Try this guide to see if the NSW is patched or unpatched. By doing this test it won't modify your system.

If its unpacthed you can then check this thread that will answer any questions you may have


hey guys.. just want so share my experience:
the switch i bought is not patched


Purchase date: March 2018
Region: EUR (Germany)
Stock FW: unknown, got it with 7.0.1
Serial: XAJ40050XXXXX
Patched: NO (Tested with TegraRcmGUI v2.5 and biskeydump)


by the way..
i waited for the CFW JIG to arrive as i had trouble to enter in recovery mode with the paperclip.
today finally the CFW JIG arrived and it still coulndt enter the recovery mode, so i decided to test something on my own which worked like a charm.
you do not even have to solder anything just a forceps is necessary.

Hey all, I read this twice and found that my serial number isn't there. My serial number is XAW1010XXXXXX. Is it alright to install hombrew on this one or not? I got the smash edition of the switch around december last year and I am a bit confused.

Your serial number is in the first post. Read it carefully and slowly. It also helps if you have a basic understanding of math.

She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:

    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
