The ReSwitched Hacking Team have done it again. motezazer, ktemkin and SciresM have achieved code execution on 4.1.0, the latest version at the time of writing this, via deja vu at TrustZone level. This means devices on 4.1.0 and below will be able to gain access to the whole system. SciresM strongly advises to not update in the future.

After less than a year, the Switch hacking team has moved extremely fast and now have got full access on the latest version. The progress being made is incredible, and in comparison, the 3DS took around 2 years to get ARM9 access. The scene is looking very promising so far and we are very lucky to have such talented people working on the Switch.

It's softmod

SQUEEE!

What do I do to prevent the Switch from downloading updates?

Turn off WiFi and don't auto update when new games ask you to

Yeah ok cool good job but again no release...
Not hyped anymore tbh until I have something in my hands. Also because I'm on 2.3... Let's hope this cfw comes soon.

Btw TX better start moving their asses if they don't want to lose their business before it starts.

Honestly should not expect a release until Deja Vu is fixed. As it's still exploitable on latest os, no reason to release. Also need the tools in place for custom content and a cfw (which i believe ScriesM is working on)

That's great news, although now that fail0verflow has shown off a coldboot exploit that works on every FW and is unpatchable, does it really matter?

I believe it does because we don't know if the releases by F0F and TX are legit or not. F0F, as everyone knows, is known for not releasing their work, and TX has, of course, not released in the past either. So until someone drops something, everything is in the air and everything matters.

So I'm on 4.x (whatever the minimum to load Mario oddessey is) . Should I update to whatever the latest firmware is and sit tight or just stay on whichever lower 4.x I'm currently on?

 

[PolloDiablo]

For those having the same dilemma...

 

[netovsk]

Great news, thanks!

My 4.1.0 Switch just said goodbye to internets just in case. This is the moment I've been waiting for.

The minimum for Mario is 3.0.1 though.
I'd recommend not updating. Lower firmware gets CFW first.

Yeah it's nothing... to have the compelete library of Switch at the moment being hackable, that's absolutly nothing

EEExactly.

Do I disable Auto-Update Software?

 

[Deleted User]

Yeah, this sounds great, but do you think the custom firmware be hard to install? Do you think it's going to be for the end-user that just wants to play emulators and stuff? Or do you think this'll be taken the extra mile?

Also it's saddened me to hear that CFW for the Switch might come faster than the DSi's.

 

[andijames]

The amount of people here who can't Google astounds me sometimes

If you want. Adding that DNS will block all updates though.

Yeah, this sounds great, but will the custom firmware be hard to install? Is it going to be for the end-user that just wants to play emulators and stuff? Or do you think this'll be taken the extra mile?

Why are you asking questions about something no knows anything about?

 

[the_randomizer]

He prolly updated to 5.0 firmware some how already and will go on to moan how it won’t get hacked.

Oh screw you, don't be a jerk, I'm on 4.1.0. Unfollowing. It's nice to be so loved.

@ShadowOne333 Now to "accidentally" block updates

That was meant to be opinion-based. Sorry, now that I reread it it's not clear enough as to who I was asking.

 

[ShadowOne333]

Oh screw you, I'm on 4.1.0. so nyah

@ShadowOne333 Now to "accidentally" block updates

Stay in 4.1.0, dude.
And to be sure, disable internet connections altogether from the console as well.
Unless you play online, then go for the DNS route, but if you don't, better to have the console offline at all times.

A good PoC for what we knew was already possible, was a matter of finding a way around the memory controller so now we know its possible!

But... waiting around on 4.x is going to be a... while. Probably a long while.

You're still better off finding a 3.0.0, or ideally lower.
