Hacking Suggestion Warning dont Update to 5.0 if you plan ever to use HB or CFW

[geodeath]

You wanna be hackable as soon as possible when getting a new console? Set the wifi off or even better, put the console in flight mode. I accidentally left my switch on flight mode ever since i bought it since i was flying next day and has never took it off since. I never play online anyway, never care for multiplayer games and never buy digital releases so there is nothing i missed apart from games that need a v3+ version such as Mario. I have a shitload of games to play on my backlog, not even including retro stuff, so i can wait

Is it safe to enter to the eshop to buy the botw dlc without updating? I'm on 4.1.0 and don't want to update.

thank u. am i special yet

No. At least you can play online and play new games
I have 2 switches, but if I had 1 I'd either lock it away and forget about it or just update and be fine with it.

I'm conflicted in whether I should buy another Switch with the updated firmware and keep my current Switch firmware below 5.0. I've already set my current Switch in Airplane Mode.

Turn off autoupdate, unblock updates, buy dlc, wait for download + install, block updates, reboot to delete update.
Should be safe doing it like this.

Or try to buy another one at 3.0.0, keep the one you have that ALREADY has games and save data on it and update it.

Good. 2 switches is the way to go. I dunno how I'd feel with one switch, waiting for Homebrew and can't use it

Yeah. I've spent more on games than I have the actual price of the Switch, so no way I'm gonna hold off updating for basically emulators and piracy with the end result of probably getting banned with an account filled with games. I'm actually pretty hopeful for Team Xecuter for the people who are going to update to 5.0.0.

 

[TotalInsanity4]

I expect the entry points to be released soon once 5 has been confirmed to block all known exploits

I think you're setting yourself up for disappointment

 

[Olmectron]

good that you are talking about "Unpatchable Modchip" i dont think TX will deliver...they will back down

Yes but thats Robabla an Trustworthy hacker and if he says almost Impossible then believe me its no BS

Like some brilliant Wii hackers who back in the day said GameCube simulation / emulation, impossible completely in Wii without slowdowns.

Now, look at Nintendont.

Nothing is 100% secure. Even if it takes more time than originally thought, there'll be hacks for Switch in latest FWs.

That's more like wishful thinking. Dude wants expoits so bad that he's trying to convince himself that they'll be released soon (tm)

Good idea but I don't think I can find a cheap 3.0.0 Switch. I guess I'll just do the other method :/

Buy a 4.1.0 one and update the one you already have????

 

[SomeGamer]

OK. Why can I still play Splatoon on 4.1.0?

Because Nintendo hasn't flipped the switch to block < 5.0.0 yet.

No pun intended

I'm planning to buy a new Switch on July. By then, it'll probably be an updated 5.0.0 right off the box

Eh. Take the used or refurb route. If you buy it in store, keep returning it until it's lower lol

Yeah but there was no KASLR

Like Android (since 2015) or IOS (since 2011). IOS was hacked 3 days after implementation of KASLR. Spectre and Meltdown are also available.
