Hacking Question Switch Unpatched but no RCM

[spotanjo3]

Why are you using XAJ1 as prefix when the serial is XAJ70015785476

I press wrong one. Sorry.. Now here it is.. Yeah. It is not patched.

For me it also sounds like something is wrong with the USB port on OP's console

 

[RednaxelaNnamtra]

Its probably not it, but did you try to turn around the injector/usb cable? While it should't make a difference normaly, some usb 2.0 device seem to only work in one orientation, so that helps for me with the sxpro and some cables sometimes, when my switch isn't recognised

How do you turn around the jig ?
Besides that, don't think it will help with another cabel, OP have already stated it is working on his/her other Switch
But the again it doesn't hurt to try

I suppose you read the serial number on the label near the usb port... Try to read it in settings in the console. Maybe your console was brought into service and then the motherboard was changed and then different serial number that gives you that problem

I was about to tell exactly that, if the unit was serviced the N support could replace the board

Serial number of the bottom of unit and system setting match?

Oh ups, I meant the injector, not the jig.

Yes, it is hackable! Is your Nintendo Switch OFW working properly and playing everything fine ?

Yes

Did you get it new or used? Ninty has been known to patch models in repair.

Used

I don't know what you entered, but for me it shows that the Switch is unpatched. Also, wouldn't a patched Switch be recognized by the RCM tools as well but just wouldn't be able to actually exploit the Switch?
My thinking is that maybe something is wrong with the USB port of the Swtich.

I can charge my switch and it work too on my TV so the USB is fine !!!

No serial on bottom, no sticker

@chronoss the charger only uses the V+ and GND pins and the dock uses the new pins of the usb 3.0, the D+ and D- are not used in any of that two cases and that was the used to detect it on rcm. Try one thing, start the that console normally and connect it to the pc to see if it detect the switch.

No message on my PC

 

[Kallrkyle]

That sound like a toasted USB prot then unfortenly

 

[Raugo]

No message on my PC

Then its a problem with the USB, open the console and check.

 

[VDDZ]

Could be usb, but did we try a different cable first?

If the USB have the problem but why with the chip, it don't launch the payload ? The chip don't use the USB port, only D+ and D- on the mother board

My cable have no problem, it work very well on all switch i use.

This is quite weird

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

Like there is a possibilty you have a one in a billion switch that has some weird version of RCM but that's highly unlikely. The more likely thing is that your Switch is broken, you said you got it used so it's very likely, it'S probably something inside the Switch or it may be something on the USB port. Another possibility is that TegraRCMGui is acting up and that could actually be true, it is known for being unstable and buggy. Well anyways this is mine conclusion on this but I may be completely wrong, goodbye

Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot

@Raugo might be right but before you do that. Can you try this ns-usbloader first and use atmosphere payload or hekate payload ? You will need java to installed for ns-usbloader to work first. I use ns-usbloader a lot and its much better than TegraRcmGui. Surely, I use TegraRcmGui sometimes and still working fine but I use ns-usbloader a lot. Try it.

The solder points are really near to the usb port maybe the problem is in the board not in the usb port himself., check the wire or try with the alternative D+ D- points.
