Team-Xecuter revealed in a teaser a method to bypass all Switch security in a manner that they claim will never be patched by Nintendo and is compatible with every firmware available!

In the video, they show a custom boot image and have publicly posted the Stage2 Bootloader key (package 1.1) which has been confirmed to be legit as proof of their pwnage over the device.

This solution will work on ANY Nintendo Switch console regardless of the currently installed firmware, and will be completely future proof. This is *the* solution for opening up CFW (Custom FirmWare) on the Nintendo Switch. We want to move the community forward and provide a persistent, stable and fast method of running your own code and custom firmware patches on Nintendo's latest flagship product. And we think we've succeeded!

Below you can find a quick video showcasing a Nintendo Switch booting up, but there s something funny going on, can you spot it?

This is expected to be a DRM/paid "device", speculated to be a tx1 glitch style modchip that will enable CFW and full access to the system, which unfortunately(?) includes piracy.

Guess I'll have to wait 2 years till warranty is over to do this if its not a fake.

 

[DarkFlare69]

Interesting, I'm excited

 

[Xzi]

Well, if this isn't fake, everybody wasted their time fretting about 3.0 and below consoles.

 

[DJPlace]

if this is true i'll be damned like a yam.

 

[DaFixer]

Great news!
Nice to hear to great tune from Second reality demo!

It’s not possible to “pwn” a device forever...
In the worst case there will be new revision of the console that will have a different bootloader and the modchip won’t work on those models

I think you forgot about the 2DS/3DS and magnethax already

 

[Halvorsen]

Ask them to make a new video showing the screen backlight fully turning off, after the Nintendo (or TE) logo.

ntrboot can be fixed with a hardware update. As in the case for n2DS, Nintendo won't produce a second line of SoCs for a console nearing death. (the processor is the exact same found in the n3DS)

magnethax/NtrBootHax can be fixed with a hardware revision, that could happen with the switch

Then it's a new console, and they would have to completely redesign the hardware and now NTR functions.

too bad, Switch has just been E-Xecuted

okay, as expected, new and very expensive Flash card incoming! and it eventually will brick ur switch if u dare use a clone card

That they've never done and never will do since 3DS is all but retired. Newest is N2DS, and it obviously still works on that.

 

[Polopop123]

Don’t like hard mods so I’ll probably shy away from it

Check the edit...

Doesn't the Switch allow Nintendo to apply patches to the bootloader?

I'm curious what the mechanism behind this is and whether it could be patched by Nintendo.

I hope it'll be an option not to replace the Nintendo logo with this abomination.
Why would you watermark hax anyway?

Abomination? Don't buy it. Compile your own exploit so you don't have to worry about replacing the precious Nintendo logo

I'd more so say it'd be on par with a glitch chip going on their past releases. (Didn't the recent 34c3 Switch hacking presentation mention something about timing? Rewatching it now.) I'm looking forward to hearing more about it.

(The same admin that gave a Spring 2018 or around there release said that more information will be posted in the coming weeks.)

 

[Flame]

Nintendo its time to switch the bootloaders keys...

@yardie is turning in his grave.

 

[Xzi]

Now just make a user-friendly CFW and let me install all my Steam games lol.

Going on with this theory of it being a glitch chip. -> Video.

Holy fuckin' shit, we're getting ROM hacks, backup loading, an' motherfuckin' VLC!

Oh, and android, that too.

Don't forget about GameCube gam...
